What do you use to dry your car?

[Norris_309]

I've always used a chamois leather to dry my cars, but keep thinking of getting a drying towel (whatever they're called) hoping that it'll make life slightly easier.
What do you guys use?
Also anyone know of good websites to get a drying towel from?

Thanks for the link mate, i might have to get the cash card out.

How do you clean them after drying your car?. do they need cleaning each time?

Wash in a washing machine at 40 degrees with no fabric conditioner , use the same treatment for all microfibre towels .

Lots of good stuff on carwashnwax . I can highly recommend the EXTREME BODY WASH N WAX shampoo and the XXX Hardcore Pure White Carnauba Paste Wax . The postage is the same for one product or multiple products so it pays to order a few things at once really .

i was just lookingo n there.. need to order a few bits n bobs, postage would be a little high just to order 1 towel lol

So you have to wash them alone in the machine then? (i'll have to get the mrs to show me how to work it lol)

i find that using rainwater is so much easier (got 100gallons round the back) no need to dry the car as the air can do that for you

I use a water magnet, but give the car a quick spritz with QD, it helps the water run off so there's less to dry and reduces chances of spotting
