Drying after washing
 
What is the best way to dry off my car after I wash it. I have a sheepskin mit to wash with, and heard microfiber towel is the best to dry with. I am just affraid of getting swirl marks, just picked it up two days ago and looking to wash it for the first time. Any thoughts? Thanks

microfiber sucks for drying i use a shammy works like a charm

What kind of shammy?

lamb skin they work the best dont get synthetic they fall apart quick... ive had my lamb shammy for like 10 years

and if your googling it its "chamois" not shammy youll probably get the scam-wow like that

Oh man, get yourself a "California Squeegee", also called a water blade (google it).
That will take most of the water off fast, and you can finish off what little is left with a chamois (and no, I didn't hafta google that). ;)

I use air. Driving my car around for 10 minutes or so usually gets most of the water off. Plus it's fun. :v

I always use my leaf blower. :icon_dance-cpatch:

No swirl marks or scratches.

If you live near an airport, you could use the jet-dry method. Just don't get too close!

My dad got one of those Master Blaster dryers. It works pretty good, and is helpful for the places that you can't get with a towel or blade. Every now and then, he'll use a blade or a towel. Mostly the dryer.

Before my dad got his Master Blaster in, he did that once. Good results, I was surprised about that. If you're tight on cash, and already have a leaf blower, that'll work just as well as the Master Blaster.
