Does anyone else still use cotton towels to dry?
I currently use a large bath towel to get the majority of the water up. I then use two smaller hand towels. One I use for the windows and one to get drips that come out of all those annoying places (mirrors, door handles, trim, emblems, etc.)
For the window towel I use one side to get the majority of the water off and then flip to the other side to buff to a streak free finish. Works all the time on windows!
The thing I like is I don't have to be wringing out any chamois or worrying about dragging dirt with a CWB and cotton towels are cheaper than MF
I take the bath towel and just blot it on the paint and can cover huge sections. My smaller cotton towels are extremely soft but I still blot the water drops that drip out. It works great. When the towels are wet I just put the aside and grab a fresh dry one.

That's what I do... I grab a large bath cotton towel, (almost as large as a beach towel), fold it in half, place it flat on horizontal panels, blot the towel's surface, then when I lift the towel, it's 95% dry. MF blot the little droplets.
For a carwash, though... wherein 90% customers' cars may never have tasted wax throughout its lifespan, a blade is a godsend coz no matter what you towel you use to dry the dirty paint, you'll get blotches, streaks and all other annoying water-related leftovers.

I'll still use cotton, but usually just the WW microfiber. I could NEVER get all the water with the "regular" MF towels so I stuck with Charismas until I got the WW's. Still use them if it's an area that might not be totally clean
