Thanks for all the positive comments folks. Almost makes the pain and suffering worthwhile.

Cheers,

Chad.

PS Tried microfibre drying towels - not a patch on a genuine chamois leather in my humble opinion!
Looks good! Like wise on the chamois leather! Never understood why the young lads on DW don't like them. And also cotton flannelette sheets for proper polishing dusters ie no man made fibres in the weave.

Thanks Ian. I wonder if it's those artificial 'chamois leathers' they're trying. Now they are rubbish! Agree about the flannelette sheets too. Need those on my bed though.

Thanks Steve. Tell you what - I could do with some of those cakes they make where you are! These pain killers I'm on don't half 'compact' things!

Not before lunch time Nigel. It takes me until then to get mobile.
