Everyone has their own preference when drying a vehicle. I prefer using a chamois for drying and I have heard microfiber towels are better. Are microfiber towels better for drying a vehicle? Whats do you prefer to use? :hmmm:
Whats your preference?

It's all in the prep!
Or you can just buy them like Dave does!
j/kI blow the car off with a leaf blower and then use a WW towel to finish up.

I have never used the rep point system or really even paid much attention to it.

I either:
Use the leaf blower then follow up with an mf, or
Use an Absorber then follow up with a leaf blower, or
Use a big MF then follow up with a small WW mf, or
etc, etc, etc.
How I dry the vehicle really depends on the totality of the circumstances at that particular time. I don't really have a set way to do it.

Yesterdays clean up I used the ceiling fan on high while I went to the Dairy Queen for a burger, the decided to give PBs Spray and Gloss a try along with 2 plush microfiber towels. This IS what Im going to use when just doing a wash and dry. Thanks to all who have mentioned using this product in this way and to Steve at Poorboys World for such a product.

My favorite MF towels for drying is a ww foam core towel. I got mine from SMP. I have given many of them away but for some reason they did not seem to catch on with anyone but me.

I like my wf with dual core. I have one from Mothers (made by Schroeder and Tremayne). It is a dual sided waffle weave with a foam core interior. AG now sells one like it.
I like it because it maintains its shape even when wet (the foam core adds stability) so it will not drag on the ground as easily. I had been using with a traditional wash and regular drying towels with ONR but I tried it again last two times on a whim and it works nicely. I think I am going to get another one.

COME AT ME BRO
I'm a microfiber man myself. I used to use chamois and Absorbers, but I think the MF towels are a step up on the evolutionary chain of the drying apparatus genus.
For smaller vehicles, I typically use microfiber towels (either WW or the large Microtex towels with terry/suede weave). For larger vehicles, those with larger expanses of horizontal surfaces I use a combination of an Absorber and a smaller MF (terry weave or waffle weave).
It has long been my experience that MF is inferior (for water absorbtion) to the synthetic chamois materials once saturated.
