Chamois unless squeaky clean will cause swirls on a dark coloured car. Gave up on those years ago.

I use my powerful petrol Stihl leaf lower to blow most of the water off my cars, it reminds the neighbours who has the best toys🤣

Yes, I use mine to dry the underbonnet area. Sadly, mine's a Stihl cordless so it doesn't make much noise.

I use a Raceglaze filter - https://raceglaze.co.uk/shop/race-glaze ... r-7-litre/

I fill it with Unger Resin, from Window Cleaning Warehouse - https://windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/p ... 1070545989

Window Cleaning Warehouse also sell filter vessels.

It's worth buying a hardness meter, to check the water coming out of the filter so you know when the resin needs replacing - https://raceglaze.co.uk/shop/race-glaze ... tds-meter/
Yep

This is also what I have used.

The larger 14 litre Raceglaze filter that I have lasts an age, mine is still OK when testing the hardness with the meter.
