Default Ah need some help on chamois

what do you use to dry your car after washing it? or what works the best. I use chamois there really nice and expensive and they work great the first 1 or 2 times i use it but after that it starts coming apart all over my car leaving tiny pieces the cloth covering my car. what do you use. please be specific (name, brand, etc..) thanks

Just use your mothers, wife or girl friends old bath towels to dry your car. You are only drying the paint on a car that is exposed to rougher conditions on the road.Save your money on those chamois and buy a good wax..

the mr. clean auto dry thing works pretty good, it filters the water so that it won't leave spots when the water evaporates.

Yea, what do you think is the purpose of the Clearcoat??? It is a hard finish to protect the paint.[sm=chairshot.gif]Road grimedose more damage then washing & drying the car.[sm=groupwave.gif]

I use the California Water Blade which is a big squeegee, and then microfiber towels from Costco. Scratch/swirl free drying.
