Default Best car drying method/product?

Whats everyone use to dry their car? I had one of those california dry blades but i am trying to get away from it. Tried microfiber and it works somewhat.

If you want an awesome drying towel you should check out my Amazing Dryer. This thing is huge at 24x36. It holds 10 times its weight in water and is safer to use than a chamois or waterblade. This towel is really plush and thick. A lot of guys on this forum use this towel and love it.

Here is a link to my microfibers page http://www.obsessivedetail.com/microfibers.html

does it absorb really well? i hate it when you wipe a microfiber towel over it and it streaks the water.

Yes it does absorb really well. You will be able to do your whole car with this one towel. This towel is so big, I use half the towel for the first pass and then keep the dryer side for a second swipe. This way you won't get any streaks. My Ultra Premium and Ultra Plush microfbers are also really thick and dry really well, you just have to 2-3 to dry with. These towels are a lot better quality than what you can get over the counter.

you wont be disappointed with justin's products


not trying to steal the thread but i did buy a really nice, big plush microfiber drying towl a while ago and recently i washed it with almost no soap then i put it in the dryer on high heat for about 10 minutes and now its not as soft or as plush as before, plus it cant dry nearly as good

usually id ont even wash it, i just dry it with low heat, but this time i was in a hurry, is there any way to restore the towl? or are the fibers already damaged?

I wash mine in the washing machine with normal detergent and then put them in the dryer all the time. It won't hurt them at all. Maybe it is the quality of the towel you got? hehe! Usually when they don't dry well or don't feel as soft they are clogged with products and then you can actually boil them to make them soft again. I actually heard this from a microfiber manufacturer, it works pretty well.

I just came out with a product we had to call the Water Devourer because of how well it sucks up the water.
