What are you guys using to dry the vehicles off after washing. Picked up a WW towel from pepboys and wasn't impressed with it wanted to know what you will recommend for washes that are done outside. good quality that would last through my daily details and picks up water quickly.
 
Did you wet the WW prior to using it? If you tried using it dry then that is most likely the reason you weren't happy with it's performance. Of course, it could also be the quality of these particular ones, but I can't comment on that since I have never used them. Best thing I can suggest is to wet the towel down. Wring out as much water as possible and very quickly go over the car to soak up most of the water from the surface. Then wring it out again and go back over the car a second time. This has always worked extremely well for me. Also helps if you using the water sheeting method too.
 
I've been using lint free cotton terry cloth towels to dry cars to the last 15 years without a single marring problem. MF's are nice, but not mandatory.
 
I have a few synthetic chamois I use for most cars. If I'm being very cautious, I will use microfibers but mostly on the more expensive or high-impact cars. I always have tons of those laying around, though.
 
there alot of great waffle weave & microfiber drying towels out there, i currently use a viking x-large mf drying towel and a chemical guys waffle weave. both are excellent and i haven't had any problems with either of them and both have held up very well. when i buy some more waffle weave's (i favor the ultra-soft ones, they're soft as a baby blanket lol), i'm going to get them from patrick at exceldetail as he has the monterey waffle weaves for $10.99 as oppose to $14.95 i paid for the CG's ones, which look identical and probably are the same...

I forgot what they were called. There you go.

;)
 
Interesting. We use a Cal Water Blade to remove 85% of the water, and a leaf blower for the rest.



No towels.



No drips, either.
