I suspect the "good" chamois is synthetic, which I find to not have the fiber problem. I bought a sheet of it for ~$8.00 at Walmart two years ago and am still using peices from it. Probably will be another year from now. I just drop them in the washer and they are good for several washings. I like it more than the pre-fab swabs because I can fold it several times to get it to hold more solvent and can apply more presure with my fingers to a dirty capstan, etc. Leon. Leonard G.
