Drying.

[yellowbelly]

Microfiber towels are the best thing I've come across for effective drying off. All the hand car wash places use them now instead of chamois leathers. They don't scratch and they can be easily washed when they become dirty. I've got loads of them now.

Well if they're using them.... Lol

i got a free hoover from work their were getting rid off, it has a blow pipe too, its great and no need to touch the paint

 

[Hixle]

Thought I'd update this since I know you're all on the edge of your seats...

The open ended hose thing is the b****cks. Workls so well! I also bought a CYC's own giant towel thing which is also very good. So, there you have it, I no longer hate drying. Cheers all.

It's fun when you know how!

When you haven't washed the towel properly and it sheds though, what a ball ache.

 

[Scrooge]

I use the compressor or if I cant be asked to start it up I use the the towel that Gally linked and as long as you've washed and decontaminated correctly you should be mostly ok. I also bung the towel on the windows first to get it wet before dragging it dry over the roof like most people do.

Even the blue i4detailing towels are good imo.

 

[peanuthead]

I have a leaf blower, would that work well with a towel after to get whats left?

 

[Eddie.]

No reason why not.

Be sure there's nothing in it though!

 

[aucky]

Just make sure theres no way it will blow grit/dirt at the car. Should be fine though.

I really want a pet dryer, somehow I keep finding better/more important ways to spend £80 though

 

[CJGREEN]

I just use a water blade (on none paint corrected paintwork) and a MF cloth.

If theres still any marks just quick detail over.

Silly question, but could the karcher vac be any good at drying a car?

Sorry, you are asking if a device that sucks air is any good to dry a car. How would that work?

A really stupid moment
I've not really had a look at what it does, though it actually sucked water up.

Im sure it would just about suck the excess water up but the nozzle would mark the paint in the process.

 

[Junior Bear]

Been using waffle weave towels for years


They are frowned upon though. But I like em.


Got a microfibre madness dry me crazy towel to try next courtesy of polished bliss's goody bag offer.

But I'll bring that out for my own car when I finally get round to fully correcting it. Which probably won't happen.

Would rather do other people's cars lol

 

[Auto Finesse]

Yep the open hose does work,

Then drying towels let it drip dry but try not to let the drips from under the wing mirrors and handles bake on in the sun

And then go round with Finale-quick detailer to get rid of any water marks

Sian

I have used the leaf blower from work, now that does pack a punch, and gets the water out of everywhere.

 

[Vive_le_sport]

Uber Giant pro chamois,the best i`ve used by far.

 

[CJGREEN]

Chamois

 

[Vive_le_sport]

[aucky]

His aversion is probably to marring than the chamois itself. But yeah, they're not good.

 

[Tony Hunter]

So it's a normal drying towel and not a chamois then?

 

[James28]

Lol so you don't use a chamois then lol, you use a drying towel which is exactly what everyone is saying?

 

[Vive_le_sport]

Obviously,yes, i use the best drying towel the money can get,but there is a lot of smart people that judge the book by its cover.

 

[Yellow Dave]

confused much

 

[Gally]

Ah so he's mental.

 

[JD]

No, I think English is his second language, so there has been something lost in translation.

Vive le sport - quick English lesson.

Chamois;

Drying towel;

So your comment s about chamois being the best was incorrect. Now calm down.

 

[Vive_le_sport]

The comercial name of the towel is Uber Pro Chamois Drying Towel that doesn't mind that its made of chamois in fact its made of the hest quality microfiber.i know the difference between chamois and microfiber thanks so first read and see then write about.

 

[JD]

Ah. So it is purely that you have an attitude problem. Enjoy the forum.

Wash mitt, WAAAASH MIIIITT;

welcome to ClioSport!

can i suggest you chill out a little, you said chamois, which is known here as a soft leather used for drying. a simple mis understanding. nobidy made a personal attack on you so lets forget these few posts and start again?

 

[JD]

Lol, Dave. You have more patience, clearly.
