lol, what I do is use a leaf blower and quickly go around the car, it moves the bulk of the water off
I use Waffle weave drying towels only (I wash using a rinseless car soap QEW) so I need a towel thats going to ensure very little to no scratches at all (all through my car has scratches I need to try and remove). I use these threeSeventyMach1 said:That's exactly what I do. It's just the final drying that I hate (because of the chamois).
The waterless stuff leaves me skeptical ... but I've never seen it used before. You'd think it would leave scratches.
Oh, and brand's you like to use would be great JT! And Danny .... I know he know's his car detailing, lol.
BTW, before someone says it ... I have been to autopia & I don't really like it too much over there.
JT the reviews on Optimum have all been positive, they are all saying it leave the surface slicker then QEW. When I run out of QEW I'm going to give Op a go around. BTW QEW is on sale http://www.protectall.com/qe.aspxHISSIN50 said:I use a MF drying towel or a waffle weave (if you want, Danny or I can provide links to which brands we like - kind of a niche thing).

How do you like the Excel Monterey Waffle Weave Drying Towel (is that the one you have?) I have/use Pats sheepskin wash mitt (med) I want to order the heavy sheepskin mitt and wanted to try his WW.HISSIN50 said:Thanks Danny. I read all the reviews and threads - I just need to actually try the Optimum (I have Protect All right now). You can supposedly use the Optimum as different products (QD, etc). I dont use a waterless wash very often. Does it come with a clothes pin to pinch your nose?
Justin, Danny offered the goods with the WW's. I would add that I really like the WW I got from Patrick ( Exceldetail.com ).

I have Ranney's (Pakshak's) MF's and WW's and they're really nice too. It's pretty hard to beat Patrick's prices though IMHO.
And for washing normal cars, I have a drying towel from Wally mart that works fairly decent.
I also have used the silicone blade products (on glass and DD's) - As long as the blade is debris-free it does ok. I use a sealant on the paint and it loses it's slickness, which can make the blade drag.
I don't believe that he sells the ones that I have anymore (that's going back a few years). The new stuff looks pretty good to me and the big ones are a little bigger than mine.wytstang said:How do you like the Excel Monterey Waffle Weave Drying Towel (is that the one you have?)
