Does anyone still use shamys?
I stopped using them over a year ago because I thought they were hard work. They became slimey and it was harder to buff off. Is this just me? I just use two scrims, one damp and one dry.
Ive heard of these micro fiber cloth things, are they any good?

i just use a damp towel then buff it up with microfiber or just rag them with a scrim

I still use them now and again as I feel naked with out one ??? However, the quality of them today is definately not as good as years gone by.
The new micros are very good. I use a terry weave as a substitute leather and a flat weave as a scrim.
The only things against them are they're easily damaged on rough commercial work and the daft light colours.

Completely agree with you on the colours. Bought a cheap pack of 3 from Wilkinson's to try them out and got a bright pink one a fluorescent bogey green one and a normal blue one.
Can't complain for a fiver though. Just using them as sill wipes cause i quite like using the scrim for detailing edges of panes.
