Jeff, see Post #17. A number of folks like it (MegsWater Magnet). Target also has a drying towel by Vroom(?) for $8, it's not a WW but highly absorbent and measures approx 26 x 38. Yea, I have a couple of 'em and use them for the door jambs and underbody areas. Still heavily dependent on the WW's as my primary drying implement.

thats going to depend on your order. If its just a WW, I could 1st class it to you for about 2 bucks, or Priority it to you for about $4.10
Just depends on where ya shop and who you talk to.........

I don't mind paying $2 for shipping instead of $8.99. I only want the WW drying towel..how do I get it from you?

that's the one you recommand right? or do you recommand some other WW products?

Yes, the Monterey is the one I would recommend, if you were purchasing from exceldetail.com
I would also recommend an associate towel, it really does make a big difference.......
The Monterey could be shipped 1st class for less then $3.00. But no delivery confirmation, meaning I wont know if its been delivered. Also meaning if it didnt get there the first time, im not shipping it a second time. Delivery confirmation is for both shipper and recipients protection.
So, for everything under about 31 oz, would cost about $4.50. Includes delivery confirmation.

It's another WW and not necessarily the same size. See JackieO's post (#31). You can use Exceldetail's Riptide WW as an associate towel.

A QD is any product that can be used to quickly remove light dust or fingerprints, smudges etc....most contain a majority of water, some light lubricants and/or Nubas/Polymer protectants. Some even throw in some cleaning ability, but are more often called "spray washes".
Sheeting is a term used when the detailer or cars owner removes the nozzle from the hose, and allows the water to exit the hose unrestricted. Doing so allows the exiting water to actually "push" larger beads of water that have accumulated during your normal rinse. The whole idea is to end up with less water on your surface then when you started.
