Chamois Leather
Dear ‘Aunt Daisy, I have used a chamois leather for years on our car, and would never go back to the old way of using a wet cloth and then finishing off with two dry ones. As I run my one and only bucket of water, I have already put the chamois into the bucket. By the time I start on the car, the chamois has absorbed the water right through, and after washing a part of the car (doing the windows first of course), I just immerse the chamois in the water, rub it together with my two hands, then wring out dry, and wipe over again, continuing on in this way till the car is all finished. There are never any smears or water marks, and ours. is a big car, yet I can go all over it in 20 minutes. When finished I wash the chamois in clean cold water, and rub between the hands any "especially soiled parts. My chamois is not marked in any way. I just wring it out quite dry, and throw it over a line I have in the wash-house. Never put it in the sun’ to dry, as this hardens the chamois. When dry, I just fold it up, and pop into a cardboard box I have -on my wash-house’ shelf,
"Okato
Lady."
