Wash and dry materials What do you detail guru's use to wash and dry your cars.
I use Meguiars gold class wash, using (Wash mit
Then to dry it I am not sure whether to use a GOOD chamois, or the meguiars water magnet towel.
Lemme know what you guys use.
Some guys have told me to use VERY little soap and just use water. This will not strip wax and will keep it lubb'd, not to scratch

Wash Mitts - Eurow genuine sheepskin mitt or a 100% cotton wash mitt.
Car Wash Soap - some popular ones are Eagle One Wet wash, 1Z Perls shampoo, Zaino Z7, and Wolfgang auto bathe.
Drying - Waffle Weave microfiber towels, electric leaf blower, and/or 100% white cotton towels, made in USA.
I would recommend using more soap than less to prevent washing induced marring. You may need to "wax" more often, but if that's a problem you can use a long-lasting sealant.

I am partial to Tropi-care now, but have used Zaino and Mequires with great results. Good microfiber towels are the way to go. I use alot of carwash soap to make it real "sudsy". I polish/wax often so I don't worry about the carwash stripping the polish/wax.

yea I hear the waffle towels are better than the conventional chamois.
As far as wax, I do wax on a regular basis, and always do everything in steps. I sometimes follow up with a spray wax in between wax's just to keep on top of it.
Has anyone used Eagle One wax as you dry?

Use the two bucket method, and go from top to bottom.
I use two cotten mitts each time .. A new one for the top half, then I do the bottom half & the wheels with the top half one from the wash before.
