Default Synthetic Chamois leathers

Do you think that Synthetic chamois leather is any where near as good or even better than the real thing?

Do you use a Chamois leather to finish off and dry the car after washing it?

ones of these fabric ones are about 100% better than real chamois. there good for the paint and dont scratch, they hold a lot of water, i can dry my a3 totally without having to ring water out of it. and also they dont leave dust all over your car, these are what all the pro detailers use and you can not go wrong with it!!!!!

The micropore stuff is very good. It's been available in a different texture for nearly 20 years for cleaning camera and specs (glasses, not the avg speed kind) lenses.

Synthetic chamois behaves similarly
