    I think they are standard chamois, if so I dont see a problem with them.

    Buy a drying microfiber towel from a detailing site. I bought mine from www.specialtymotoring.com Clark and Brian saw how good it works lol just go over the car once and boom it's perfectly dry if you have two. Just one you gotta wring it out once or twice.

    I just use a regular chamois..works alright for me, as long as you keep it clean and dont wipe off dirt/grime with it.

    Same here, I usually get a year or a little more out of one and they seem to dry a car nicely.
