| | | Washing / Drying
So I want to take advantage of the 15% off sale and buy a few things. One of the things that I'm still not very AG about is the actual washing and drying of my vehicles.
What should I buy to wash the vehicle? The Cobra Bone? The Edge ShMITT?
How about drying the vehicle? Right now I use the Absorber with good results, but I seem to hear everyone banging on about the Guzzler.  |

| I'm partial to natural sheepskin mitts for the "touchy feely" part of it. Quote: |

| | | There are many good product choices, so I'll just chime in on my wash process:
Foam gun pre-wash, 2-bucket method using a natural sea sponge, dry with a Sonus WW towel. Right now I'm using Meg's GC shampoo. Pretty good for an OTC wash.
I'm happy with this method. The foam gun is great. After using a sea sponge I doubt I'll go back to anything else. the WW drying towel works great provided I rinse the vehicle properly beforehand (no nozzle so the water sheets off).
Hope this helps. |

| | | I take that the Sonus WW is the same as the Cobra WW?
Also, it sounds like the WW will only work properly is you have a properly waxed vehicle. Right? |

| | | get yourself a guzzler and a good sheepskin mitt or the Scmitt. (I got mine this morning)
If you dont like the Guzzler, I will trade you for a new , never used, P21S drying towel. Think Absorber ... and I will pay shipping !! |

| | | Like above, I use an electric blower and I know Scott (Killr) does as well. After letting the water flow out of the hose and sheet itself off the vehicle. I use my electric blower to blow damn near any wayter left off it, and also get it out of nooks and crannies like seals around the windows where water loves to drip after drying lol. Then I just go around witha little QD'er and micros and that's it.

| | | I also use an electric blower. My drying process is:
-After washing, run free flowing hose water over entire car to sheet off large quantities of water.
-Use electric blower to remove majority of left-over water AND force water out of all cracks, crevices, & badges.
-Use Meg's Water Magnet (it's probably similar to the Cobra Guzzler) to dry any remaining water dropletts.
