FAQs
Can I wash the chamois in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the natural leather fibers. Always rinse by hand with water.
Is this safe for modern car clear coats?
Yes, the genuine leather is soft and gentle, designed to prevent scratching on automotive paintwork.
How do I store the chamois?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources after it has been completely air-dried.
Can I use chemicals or detergents with the chamois?
It is recommended to use plain water for rinsing. Harsh detergents can strip the natural oils from the leather.
Why does the chamois need to be stretched into shape?
Stretching it back into shape while drying prevents it from curling or shrinking into an awkward, unusable form.
Troubleshooting
The chamois feels stiff or brittle.
Soak the chamois in warm water until it regains its natural suppleness. Do not force it to unfold while dry.
The chamois leaves streaks on the surface.
Rinse the chamois thoroughly to ensure no residual dirt or soap is trapped in the leather fibers.
Material is becoming hard after drying.
This is normal for natural leather. Simply soak it in warm water before the next use to restore its flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the chamois for use, soak it thoroughly in warm water until the material is fully pliable. Never attempt to use the chamois when stiff or dry, as this can lead to tearing. For long-term care, rinse the chamois thoroughly after every session to remove trapped dirt. Gently stretch the leather back into its original shape while it is still damp and allow it to air-dry naturally. Crucially, keep the chamois away from direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight, as excessive heat will cause the natural leather to harden, crack, and lose its absorbency.
