Sheepskin Chamois

[fast306stang]

I bought an honest to God real chamois. Real sheepskin. Supposed to be the best thing to dry your car with.
Well it has tanning chemicals and oil in it, so you're supposed to wash it with soap and water before you use it.
I couldn't ever get the oil that's in it to stop foaming everytime I tried to rinse it out. So I'm trying to wring this damn thing out and it's slicker than owl ****. I finally gave up. It smells like an animal, worse than a wet dog...maybe a dead wet dog? ****ing DIS-GUS-TING. And now I can't get the smell off my hands. I'm not sure I can eat dinner. It's nauseating.
Ok, so what's the consensus? I gotta drop the coin and get one of those roller squeegees with the crank handle to use this thing?

Backpack blower BOOM your done in 5 min or less

tomato juice will wash away the stank finger

Won't that leave little tiny water spots?

I'll try the tomato juice if I can find some.

After reading online, (which I probably should have done first lol) I see other people recommending a blower. Or a few different drying towels. I have a synthetic chamois and it does just okay. I was hoping this was going to be better. I might have to try a different option. The stupid wringers are over $100!

Wife cleans raw sheep's wool a lot. She suggested very hot water with a lot of blue Dawn (dish soap), soak and rinse in very hot water. That should clean out the residual lanolin. Then use vinegar and hot water to get rid of the stink.

I just use a silicon squeegee and a clean microfiber towel.
