what do you all use for drying your car?
i have a chamois towel that i bought for around $16 bucks a while back, don't remember the brand though.

should i use something else? or is chamois bad?
someone told me to use terry towels but they leave too much lint and fuzz. any suggestions?

 

I use a MF waffle weave for drying like the one pictured. 24 x 36, very absorbent, no streaks, leaves no lint behind, no ringing necessary and one towel does it all. Off course I have 2-3 on hand.

 

I used to use a deerskin chamois, and that worked pretty well, until I got this The Absorber thing. It's a synthetic chamois of sorts, available anywhere. Works great. It even comes with a storage tube, so I can stick it in my trunk and use it in emergencies.

The only issue I have with it, is that it leaves the smallest trace of lace-pattern water spots on the windows.

 

Waffle Weave drying towels.......such as Danny posted will reduce drying time, and allow the user a safe, affordable, and long lasting tool for quick drying there cars.

 

my dad's been using "the absorber" for years. just bought one for myself. i always thought that it wasnt for windows though...

 

Yeah what I've been doing is drying the windows with The Absorber, then I use Invisible Glass to finish it off.

 

Buy them from excel! Great prices and quality towels

 

Drying a Vehicle using water:
•Use a low-pressure, high volume water flow to `break' the surface tension of the water laying on the paint surface with the Ultimate Nozzle™ (or if you prefer remove the nozzle) you will see the water `sheet' off, move the hose down to "feed" the sheet as it flows down the panel, this will keep the `sheet' wide and it will carry away more water.
•The remaining water can be removed using a 24" x 30"waffle weave towel (Sonus Der Wunder Drying Towel) by pulling it across the panel or using a blotting motion, do not rub This gets rid of all the remaining drops and leaves only a little moisture, which can be removed with the towel. Use the blow side of a vacuum cleaner to remove water from crevices, wing mirrors, license plates, etc
•Use a water blade to remove water from glass surfaces
•Dry doorjambs, sill area, seams and crevices of hood and trunk with a Waffle Weave towel

What concerns me with this method is the user stirring up dust with all that wind.....It has to fall somewhere....

 

I only use the blower to get the water out of the nooks and crannies. Much faster then using compressed air. Then I use a QD'er as I wipe down the car with an MF. No dust!
