After washing your vehicle what do you guys use to dry it off? What is the best thing to use that won't scratch?
Thanks

A chamois from walamrt(The Absorber) Works great......also got a california duster from walmart too.....great also.

I use the Absorber. I think that I bought it from Target, years ago. Regardless, it's pretty nice and easy to use. I do not own a leaf-blower, but when I used to have access to one, I would use it for the most part and touch up with the Absorber. Nice combo.

And, the California Duster is also a nice purchase, but not for drying the car as the term 'duster' suggests, but will be nice for those few days after a wax or Zaino when light dust has started to accumulate. Keeps you from a total re-wash.

Hope this helps.

sounds good I'll have to give it a try. I use white towels now, but they are getting old.
What about a spray wax/ quick detail? I use maguires. What do you guys suggest I use to apply it. I use a terry cloth now.

Absorber and an electric leaf blower.

I used to use a gas blower for my car followed by The Absorber, but man, that gas blower makes you smell nasty afterward. Of course, with the humidity around here, a shower is a must after washing a car.

We use an electric blower here... No funky smells. Anyway, I use a California Waterblade for the majority of the drying, an electric leaf blower for 99% of the remaining water, and a microfiber towel for any droplets I missed.

Another one for the Absorber. I've been using them for about 10 years and would think about drying my car with anything else.

I use 100% white cotton towels that are made in the USA, I cut the edges off. You can get them at macy's, bed bath beyond, for about 15 bucks a pop. Kind of spendy but worth it to me.

i just got a new camaro, i live where its very dusty. I've had my car washed and detailed several times in the almost 2 months that i've had it. But i noticed today that when i washed it it has swirls and also like streaks or water marks not real noticible but it makes me mad is there anything i can do

I forgot to mention this in my first post - before using anything like a towel, leafblower, etc. an old trick that used to be referenced in this forum quite often was to remove the nozzle from the hose and use the steady stream of water to create a 'sheeting pattern' which can help to eliminate a lot of the standing water that a nozzle tends to create.

I used this method on Saturday and realized that I totally forgot to mention it here...

waterblade, than a towel for all glass, than 2 microfibers. Rarely just the blade and a undershirt.

i am now a firm believer in the absorber
