PA DETAILER
DETAILED TODAY?
i will admit, i was guilty of not using the "sheeting" method. i used this last weekend and it made a big difference! 85-90% water removed. then i followed up with a ww towel.
how do you dry?

I use 2 of these, even though one works for the most part. Chinchilla Microfiber Buffing Cloth, 16 x 24 inches Simply lay down and glide across the surface, no need to add pressure. Works like a charm.

Obviously the drying process is as important, if not more so than washing techniques...and its also true that touchless drying makes the most sense to prevent human error. If touchless drying isn't practical in every case, then a damp (not dry) WW or MF towel work well when dampened with a product such as DG Aquawax or equivalent product. I use a combination of both.

I tried the "dry me a river" ww towel last weekend from the ragg co. OMG!! Hands down the BEST drying towel i have ever used! Flood rinsed the xterra, and it got every last drop. Very impressive.

Chamois ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
One waffle weave takes care of most of it, then back around with a microfiber or two (small car w/ no roof). Then a can of compressed air for the trim.
I have an Absorber, and it works as promised, but I find it a bit "sticky" and it slows me down.
This thread reminds me I have a cordless blower, will try that next time.
P.S. Where does one buy a "Dry Me Crazy" towel? Tried Amazon, Google, Autopia and a few others w/ no success finding it.

Yes. I've been detailing since the early 90s and never had a single problem with marring or anything. The trick is to keep it clean. By the way, the absorber is like a chamois but a garbage one at that. Will eventually fall apart and leave lint all over your cars.
(I'm still laughing to myself that the absorber is considered an acceptable choice but a chamois is not. I guess some people just believe everything they read)

Dry me crazy is from microfiber madness. CarPro carries them. The dry me a river is the one from rag co.
Dry me crazy is a plush towel, and dry me a river is waffle weave as I recall. The 20x40 waffle weaves and 24x16 waffle weaves from rag co are the same towel, just different sizes.

I use a waffle weave microfiber towel with some quick detailer spray when drying. I will use a leaf blower (electric) to get water out of door handles and cracks around the lights and emblems etc. I use the quick detailer or spray wax to try and minimize any damage done by drying. Also like to have the mf towel damp before trying to dry. I haven't tried the method of letting water run over it without pressure to lessen the amount of dryin, might have too!

I picked up a Metro Blaster Sidekick last week and its been a 'blast' using it
I would knock off all the water from places my towels can't reach then come back with a waffle weave towel and pat dry

Toro 230mph blower, followed by DetailedImage Waffle Weave microfiber for the little spots. If it's a sealed\waxed\coated vehicle, pretty much everything comes off with the blower...

I'm using the the sidekick for the cracks and crevices, then an Uber drying towel.

Usa an absorbwr and never had problems. Then a mf towel for the wheels as sometimes there is a lil dirt left over. Might get a waffle weave mf towel in the future as those seem super popular.
