If no, why not whats the reason,

One for the detailing guru's on here

Nope - they seem to leave horrid smears on the paintwork. They are good for cleaning the interior surfaces tho!

i'm not a detailing guru but i do use a shammy and can tell the difference easily. removes all water related marks if done thoroughly.

no no to shammies , micro fibres or waffles for me ...shammies are known to catch tiny grit particles and damage the paintwork (so i,m lead to believe ) )

I am a convert to these new fangled things & gave my shammie back to Tarzan

the last time I saw Tarzan in black & white his shammie was a little dried out

I use a blade style wiper as opposed to the traditional chamois leather that can pic up grit and mark the paint. It works quite well, though the leather is still good for any parts you cannot get in to with the blade.
