In the Grand Prix forum, there is a thread on drying. Here is one post I found a bit amusing. :)
I wash the car in the shade...then dry it with these heavy duty paper towels (more like throw away shop towles, they are blue) and the wax as you dry stuff, works pretty good, but when I dont do that, Instead of using the california blade, I use an old winshied wiper blade (cleaned of course) and becuase its old and broken in, that seems to work the best

I used the old wiper blade trick in the past myself. Of course that was before I knew better. :D

1. Grand Prix owners are a strange lot.
2. This is a fine time to tell me this information. I already invested in all those MF towels and a couple of Absorbers.

I think it would be better not dry it at all... just let it "water-spot". :nono

I like the old windshield wiper idea. Never heard that one before.

I think that the old wiper blades are such a good idea. I think that it would make polishing so much more fun. You could have a challenge getting all of those marks out.

GregHey Greg, don`t rush into anything.
Let me check my garage tomorrow. I might have some old wiper blades I could trade you for some of your WW towels. Just let me know how many WW towels you need to get rid of. Keep in mind that one wiper blade can do the work of several towels and it never needs to be wrung out or washed.
Charles :D
