I would like to share my experience of using Sontara car wipes made by DuPont. Those of you familiar with DuPont (miracles of science) would know that they don't make cheap Chinese stuff.

I actually went to this dealer to buy a Tyvek car cover and this guy asks me to try these Sontara car wipes. You guys must have heard of chamois leather, microfiber towels and stuff. This Sontara stuff is a magnitude more high-tech than these. DuPont Nonwovens These are used in semiconductor, health care, etc. industries.

You get a pack of 10 wipes of about 1'X1' size for 150 bucks. I stitched 4 wipes together to make it 2'X2' size (so 60 bucks) and I use it exactly like a cloth towel.

I got 3M car detailing done by Sundaram motors Bangalore. Apart from giving a good gloss, I noticed this protection layer doesn't allow big dust particles to stick to the surface. I only find fine dust one the car.

So now I just throw water on the car, do a wet wipe panel by panel in straight line strokes, rinsing the towel as often as I can. Then I squeeze the towel dry and do a dry-wipe in the same fashion squeezing towel every once in awhile. It leaves no lint and cleans dust like a charm. At the end I use the moist towel to wipe the interior plastics,etc. I wash 2-3 times a week and it has been a very nice experience.

Bottom line: It leaves no lint so suitable for external and internal surfaces. It makes no scratches (really) for fine dust. It absorbs lots of water. A gentle squeeze makes it 99% dry.
