DF Towel

[johnnygee3]

I just received my DFConcours Towel, 36x20 size. I was planning on using it to dry my car. Will one towel dry a complete car? If one won"t do it, I might use it to buff off LG. I washed it already and am putting off using it till I decide for sure what to use it for. What do you guys use this towel for? Do you like it? My car has millions and millions of water beads, I can"t do that garden hose "trick",I use S.S. at car wash. So Thats alot of water to get soaked up.

Use your DF for QD work. Use a waffel weave for drying.



The DF`s are by far the best ones for QD work!



I use a waffel weave to pick-up any water left from using a CWB. Then, I use a Pakshak MF for all wax-off work and removal of any QD that may be a bit more "dirty" than normal, but switch to DF or CBT towel for final QD wipe.

I`m going to order as soon as the mediums are back in stock. They sound superb!

Bill D,



You will not be disappointed! For QD work, I have several stashed in the trunk of my SC430.



Once you get them, wash with a liquid detergent, dry without dryer sheet on low and you will now have one of the finest QD towels available!



Watch out when QD`ing... they slide around and can find the ground if not careful! :p



Enjoy the towels! I know I do!

Hey Deanski,



Thanks for the recommendation!

Yep, johnnygee3, like Deanski said: Do not try to use your DFTowel for drying. That`s not where it excels. Use a waffleweave to dry. Then use that glorious DFTowel for wax/polymer removal and for QDing. Those towels are awesome!

Actually they do work for drying but you have to wipe VERY slowly as they wick slowly but absorb a lot. I use a leaf blower first, then towel dry the remainder.

Thanks guys for the info

Ordered 2 waffle weave from autogeek Hope they`re good ones.There`s ssooooooooooo much info and different things out there,its hard for me to decide which stuff to buy. Will use my DT for QD`s

Yeah, what DF said. It does hold a lot of water, but it is pretty slow absorbing and thus hard to use for drying. I originally got the XL to dry my car, but now I just get the mediums and use them for QD`ing. They are incredible for this. Use your biggie for QD, and you`ll have plenty of towel to work with.

i have read numerous times of people using "leaf blowers" to quicken the drying time. aren`t any of you worried that those blowers with 190 mph wind, act like a sandblaster on paint finishes, or is it just me? what`s the proper way to use them?



thanks in advance for your input.....

Nope, never had a problem. Of course you need to use some common sense like not aiming at the ground so it blows dirt onto the car. I also blow dry the area where I wash the car before washing so this helps too.

I`m eventually going to get that Toro 215 MPH leaf blower :D :D
