Hi,

But you would have to buff with a dry scrim after a shammy.

Yes, thats right, but just a little tickle. The main purpose of the shammy is to take up all the liquid first so that you don't end up with a load of soaking wet cloths that you then have to get dried out.

when i started cleaning windows just used a 1 slightly damp scrim to clean windows

no need for scrim these days.decent big flatweave microfibres are all you need.no need to "break them in".you can wash them hundreds of times.they dont leave cloth fibres on the windows.

the scrim you get these days is nowhere near the same quality i used to use in the early nineties!!

saying that i do use scrim on the odd occasion if i run out of clean dry microfibres!

scrim is good for detailing on a wet day as it tends to stay drier for longer

think i will stick with scrim its the best cloth for cleaning windows

Spot on Daz.
I swear by microfibre, it's miles better. But it's not as good in cold damp weather.
