Anyone Use Microfiber Towels to Dry?
I'm about sick of my Absorber doing little more than spreading the water on my car around, so I'm thinking I might find a nice, big microfiber towel to use for drying.
Do those of you who use MF towels have any problem with them leaving streaks of water on your car? If you've used the Absorber before, do you like the MF towel better?
Thanks,
Josh

I had a mf for about one day. Didn't like it. I use a water whisk, one of those silicone rubber blade thingys, and then a chammy. As long as you do it in the shade, shouldn't be a problem. I found that the mf would actually track dust from wherever the hell it found it onto the surface.

MF towels are just about the best thing you can get. If you get the walmart or pepboys brand crap than surely you will be disappointed. I have a giant waffle weave towel that is fantastic. After completely washing take the nozzle off and let the water trickle down spreading out the beads and letting it sheath off. Than dry accordingly.

I have been using the same micro towel for 4 years and I wont use anything else. As long you dont put it in the dryer it wont leave a static charge either so very little dust afterwards. I use it with Zaino applications also and never a problem..

You can use the water blade if you are constantly cleaning the blade, if you get anything on there and make a swipe, you will get some nasty surface scratches, I use the absorber and 100% cotton towels to dry......

I use a water blade then cotton towel then a MF towel to get rid of any swirls the cotton towel might have left behind. Been doing this since I had the car and have had no scratches or problems.
On another note I have no idea how anyone can dry thier car with a cotton towel because whenever I have done it I just end up moving water around the surface. Then it dries leaving UGLY water swirl marks.
