What do you use to dry your 500?

[venams03]

I've been using Microfiber waffle weave towels to dry my cars for the last few years. Much better at leaving the wax on than CHAMOIS! But they're worn and not absorbent and leaving streaks all over the finish.

Does anyone know have suggestions for some new "high quality" drying towels?

Use a artificial chamois. I prefer The Absorber.

A leaf blower works well for me and then detail spray

I like the absorber too,Absorbs well and easy to clean-Just through it in the washing machine.

+1 and after the car is all day and has sat for awhile or went for a hot lap(dips). Go over anywhere that needs a touch up with Quik Detailer

Chamois, and then every two weeks I use detailer spray spread/polished with a good terry cloth towel. I tried the synthetic towels years back and they never seemed as good as a real Chamois. I also like the fact that the Chamois polishes a bit while using it. H.

or dry with fabric softener. I use the Green Micro Fiber Towel. If you pick up some quality Micro Fiber Towels, you'll notice the texture is different on the different color's.

I used a few gray and yellow microfiber towels for the last 2 years (Sonus Der Wunder from Autopia-carcare.com) but they left unbelievable streaks and a film on my GT500 the first time I washed it.

SOOO... I'm looking to buy some new towels. I don't think the wife used and fabric softener, but maybe some leached into the towels when she dried them since she normally uses fabric softener sheets in the dryer? HMMMMMMMM

I use plush 100% cotton towels on the painted exterior surfaces. Once one is damp, I switch to a new one. I go through 3 large size towels for each wash and a few smaller ones. I use micro-fiber towels to dry under the hood & trunk as well as the wheels. The towels are washed after each use with liquid detergent and double rinsed. Dryer dried w/o fabric softener.

$100 bills...lol.

Get a couple of waffle weave towels and a leaf blower.

I use a Sprite chamois, actually 2 of them, one above the door line, one below. (I got mine at NAPA)

They last forever and clean out really easy. Just get a capped raquetball container to put it in and always put it up wet.

I wash mine about every 2 or 3 weeks, depending on my flying schedule. I usually use Adam's Polish Detail Spray inbetween to keep it looking great.
