Fellow C4 owners,i have just used the best towel i have ever tried after washing. Got it from AUTOSPORT AUTOMOTIVE OUTFITTERS. It's called Big Blue Waffle Weave Towel. Dried the whole car,didn't wring it out one time! I't did an awesome job. Highly recommend.A 24"x 35" towel is $19.95,two or more they are $17.95.

You should try ours at PAC, Here's a link: http://www.properautocare.com/mitobigbliii.html

I'll take that tip! :thumbsup:

Drying - There are two different micro fibre towelling weaves that make good drying towels: terry cloth and Piqué or waffle weave. [Piqué isn't more absorbent than terry but the ridges act as hundreds of little squeegees which push the water up into the cups giving the fabric time to absorb.] Leo Cerruti

On the final rinse of the washing process remove the nozzle from the hose and ‘sheet’ the water, this greatly helps in the drying process. Using a waffle weave micro fibre towel, soak up as much water as you can, wringing out often to keep the absorption efficiency up and wringing out also those harmful minerals in the process. When the only thing left on the surface are tiny micro beads of water (really noticeable on a black car), which I easily wipe off with a pass or two of the highly absorbent waffle towel and leave the surface bone dry. This drying technique is excellent for black cars (especially for ‘soft’ single stage paint that show every surface mark) but look so good when they are properly detailed.

This process never includes scrubbing, rubbing or applying any pressure whatsoever. The only time that pressure needs to be applied to a paint surface is when you are polishing

That looks really interesting!:thumbsup:

If you're the type who just prefers the old cotton towel method, get 100% cotton towels that are made in the U.S.A. They can be manufactured elsewhere but make sure it's U.S. cotton at least. Out of all the countries that export cotton, the U.S. has the strictest rules/ guidelines/ etc. that they have to follow when making the cotton. I use them on my car and when put next to a 100% cotton towel made elsewhere you can definitely tell the U.S. one is softer. Also when drying do as much blotting as possible as opposed to rubbing to avoid scratching or marring the car's finish. My towels are white and were hard to find, but I don't know if it was just cuz I wanted white or if any color is hard to find made in the U.S.A. But just wanted to pass along what I've learned the last few months.

I use a leave blower, no more towels :cheers:

I tried using a leaf blower a few times, I prefer to use micro fiber towel.

DF Towels 100% micro fibre cotton, made in USA

Is cotton and micro fiber cotton the same stuff? I was just curious. I know the micro fiber towels are the ones that work well at trapping dust and stuff but didn't know if micro fiber cotton was the same as regular cotton just with a fancy name?
