drying car
 

what do you guys use to dry your cars after a wash? i washed my car the other day and got a lot of water spots and im hopeing just a simple dry with help. thanks

I use a microfiber towel. Soft enough it wont scratch, but very absorbant.

Use the absorber, and water blade thingy on the work trucks.

leaf blowers work pretty good

that is what i have been using one of those and noticed light scratches so im looking for something else. i dont like it.

Who cares about the work trucks....

Try a microfiber on your car.

when done washing, remove the nozzle from the end of your hose, and allow the water to run over the panels, from top to bottomw. it will cause the majority of the water to sheet away. then use a nice, high quality Microfiber Waffle Weave drying towel and blot the remaining spots dry.

Tropi-care has some very nice waffle weaves at a great price.

Gipraw's suggestion and the leaf blower work well for me. Make sure your car is out of the sun too. I prefer to wash either in the morning or evening when I have more than adequate shade so that water won't dry on the car.

+1 on using a microfiber towel.

low pressure rinse and then 230mph leaf blower!


Leaf blower! There is no other way to get all the water out of the nooks and crannies like the side turn signal housings, under the taillights. Plus, what 1 towel can you use to dry your paint, glass, trim, wheels and tires? Yeah none....but you can with just a leafblower! WHOOT!

on those days where i wash my car in freezing temperatures, the leaf blower is amazing

I use the california water blade to get most of it off and then microfiber towels (I have 3 big ones). Then I get out the air compressor and blow out around the mirrors, door handles, lights and grill

+1 for the micro fiber towels. i used to use a regular towel but it didn't get the job done.

:werd:

I Use A Micro Fiber Towel

I have no problems with my absorber

I love the absorber. The only downside is the valuable time lost when wringing it out. OH THE PRECIOUS SECONDS!
