Drying a car

[Stang_Crazy]

This is only my opinion but I would never use the Absorber on my stang. I use it on my daily driver and I don't like how it 'grips' the paint. If there are any contaminents in or on your paint, the Absorber will just drag them across it. Also, it doesn't have any nap so there is no where for contaminents to go. They just get pushed around the surface. Don't get me wrong, it works great on my daily driver because I don't have to worry about scratches and I just want to get it washed and dried asap but I would never use it on my Mustang. With that being said, this is what I do to dry my car.

After I'm done washing, I always take the nozzle off the hose and let the water sheet off the car. You can continue 'feeding' the sheet at it moves down the car. This will get almost all the water off without even touching the paint. To get what's left, I use a 100% cotton bath towel and blot the paint. After blotting with the 100% cotton towel, I swipe over the paint with a microfiber towel. Using this method, I'm only rubbing the paint once per panel which results in no scratches or micro-marring plus the microfiber towel is alot softer than any cotton or terry towel. Check it out if you want more details. THIS PROCESS WORKS GREAT! No more scratches or swirls after you're done washing. http://www.autopia.org/forums/showth...?threadid=5120
