:D I must comment on how well these towels perform. I have a Dodge Grand Caravan and can completely dry the exterior with one Big Blue III towel and that's a LOT of car area.
I actually have two, the large and small models. I use the smaller one for the insides of the door areas. I had one of the green microfiber drying towels from an other auto detailing specialty online store (geeky) which I have relegated to use on wheels, and/or under the hood since it didn't have the absorbtion capability of the Big Blue III. I wash them weekly after use using ERA detergent, no softeners, and air dry them on clothes hangers in the garage. After many, many weekly uses, they still perform flawlessly. They are stock number BBT-1N at Proper Auto Care.
 
big blue

I will second that. I now use a little blue to get about 15% of my car dry.
For the rest I use a water blade plat. from calcarcover. Very flexible and
does a great job. I even use it to get wet snow off my car. Hope proper
autocare sells it.:D:D

EEK!!!

Careful with the Waterblade if you care about scratches on the car.

Especially with snow!!!

D!
 
blade use

Yes I agree carefull on the use of the blade. I use no pressure when using
to dry my car. None !!!! It is very flexible and is a one piece item. Great time
saver.
 
Just be very careful with that blade, myself I don't use it. I use a leaf blower and a W/W towel and when I can I'm be ordering a Big Blue III towel.

Same here.

The Big Blues are great towels. I have gotten WW towels from a few "different" suppliers and can't tell the difference between them. The first time I saw and felt the BB, it was obvious that it was different and high quality. Then I tried it out and it did not disappoint!
 
The BB III's are great. Just got two of them a few weeks ago. Works as advertised if you do a final rinse w/o the spray nozzle.

Ooooh, Water Blades are nice if you like to scratch your paint, just ask my brother who owns a nice Grey with a scratch across the hood M3 its a a convertable too. Careful with those things they hurt!!

just used a bb III for the first time this past weekend and was quite impressed. i always used chamois being old school but the big blue won me over... i like em.
 
Watch Out For Vince the ShamWow guy.

I use a two-step drying process. I use Eagle Wax-as-You-Dry which breaks the tension the water beads and allows it to drain better. Then, I get most of the water/wax off using the equivalent of the ShamWow that still leaves moisture.

Then, I use the Waffle Weave big MF towel to get the rest of the moisture/wax and polish to a dry shine.

This, of course, is for a car that has already been properly detailed, including claying and sealing. This is periodic maintenance for a finished car.
 
Big Blues

I've used big blues II's and III's for a couple of years. Still got 'em, work good. III's are a little nicer, but both work well. Conversion van takes about one and half big ones.:)
