Drying Towel

[kyotousa]

I am wondering how is drying the car with 100% cotton soft bathing towel?

Depnds on who you ask. Most on here say do not do it. Use WW MF. But Sal Zaino says to do it.

No no on bath towels. You *might* find a nice terry one soft enough that is white and made in the usa, but it`s doubtful. And the nicest bath towels aren`t cheap in price, so just pick up a Sonus blue drying towel, they`re nice, even better than the Cobra WW I have.

Its true dont use them, well here in Los Angeles we call them Mama towels. I use one for detailing my wife car and it just made lots of wed. I was using it, to take off some wax, I put on #26. So try to find some good MF. Im into looking for some right now. Maybe some one can tells us some MF towels or any good for drying.



Thanks

Actually, 100% USA bath towels are very good. Sal Z. told me a few years ago to do this and to this day I still do. Any water spots leftover I use my WW. I have 2 white large bath towels. Charisma and Ralph Lauren. Both were expensive. Seldom wash them (always clean) so they stay soft.



One thing is that cotton loves a long-lasting LSP (like Zaino) for quick drying. If the LSP is on its last legs drying becomes a chore.

any opinions on Meguiars drying towel and its microfibers?

This is my personal favorite drying towel:

Microfiber Drying Towel by Sonus - Better than a chamois! (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-dwdt-2.html)



If I find myself in a situation where all of my ww`s are dirty, and I`m in a jam I will use my old trusty Absorber, but its nowhere near as nice as the ww.

Microfiber Drying Towel by Sonus - Better than a chamois! (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-dwdt-2.html)......I like the Sonus Ultimate Drying Towel (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/mf-200.html). It is super soft/absorbent and is currently on sale. There are other WW`s just like this one (most of them light blue), but with the current sale this one has the best price around. The one JDookie linked to is a pretty good WW too, but I`ve fallen in love with the ones that are super soft and absorbent.



BTW Jason (JDookie) it`s good to have you back!

I tried the Ralph Lauren ones once and will never do it again. SWIRL CITY all over my perfect finish! Sometimes I get myself into more trouble fixing what`s not broken!



I tried endlessly to find 100% cotton towels to no avail. I finally came across the Ralph Lauren which said 100% cotton made in USA and although it took off Zaino much easier and faster, it induced swirls.



MY $.02, spend the 10-15 on a quality WW MF and be done with it!

100% cotton doesnt mean the bindings are cotton...usually polyester.

I have the Meguairs Water Magnet and I dont like it at all! I think I will try the sonus ultimate drying towels.
