Poundland microfibres.

That's what I use. Bright Orange. Absolutely useless but they work in another way. Because they don't exsorb the water it just pushes it off the sill.

I had some scrims cut into 4 and they sewn around the edges. Lovely for sills.

The best is still a chamois tbh I wont use one as you have to "ring" it out and that causes a lot of issues later on in life. Spoken to quite a few valet cleaners and its the easiest way to get the carpel tunnel syndrome.
