I must admit that here in oxfordshire I find that the chamois leather loin
cloth's work best for both dancing (very absorbent) and paint work
especially after car washing although I do tend to dent my car when IM
drying it, still not everything can be perfect. I can quite categorically
state that mine has never detonated (completely by its self anyway!)
