Okay...how do YOU dry your car?

[Redd8407]

A couple of microfiber towels if available.

Usually start drying in this order:
1. All Windows
2. Chrome parts and mirrors
3. Then Wax-As-You-Dry the body.....sometimes the roof which means it's time to break out the 6 foot ladder.
4. Turtle Wax Chrome Polish Exhaust instead of drying off water beads.

I bet it takes you 3 days to dry that monster.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'd be using the car wash with a hot wax on it and call it good. Wax job must take a week, lol.

Ha ha you would think, but I say about a good couple hours depending on how thorough. But seriously I used the real wax one time. I was waxing ALL DAY.

I use an absorber towel on the painted surfaces, and microfiber on the lowers such as the wheels, inner fenderwell areas, door jams, etc. I also use compressed air to blow water out of the cracks and lugnut areas. After I'm done, I take the towels into the house and run them through the washing machine to shake loose all contaminants, then roll up the absorber towel and hang the microfiber cloths up to dry.

Absorber. I have a water blade but i wont use it on my car because ive scratched other cars with it. I remember i wiped the blade off three times to make sure it was clean before I whipped it across some paint and left a huge scratch. there was a microscopic pebble that i think must have been on the car already. obviously you need to watch stuff like that but the point is that i was being cautious and still messed a car up, therefore i wont use one.

I also use the absorber. Pretty sweet alternative to the chamois, it absorbs more than a normal chamois, and it is distinctly different in appearance from any of the other rags/towels in my detailing bucket. . .

Yep on my classic I only drive on nice days and use the duster and detail mist
(stuff in the bottle)

I use the Mr. Clean Auto Dry Car Wash. It is awesome on black paint!! If it leaves anything behind I use a micro-fiber cloth. The Chamois is great for taking the fingerprints off if thats all that's there.

[JAdair]

I use a absorber to but i laughed when i saw the leaf blower never thought of that hahaha

[bmwmcars]

i'd have to wash it to need to dry it

[cjmatt]

Lifetime fitness towels...

[DanO]

Leaf Blower!!!

and an absorber for some areas

[greenmachine]

waterblade on the windows, absorber on the paint, i dont really worry about the watter traps, i just wait till it all dries up then just wizards detail spray the whole car.
