Just curious Waffle or Microfiber you like to use? I use both and have not seen any scratch issues using waffle towels. I do admit I only use microfiber drying towels on nicer cars not really everyday driving. Now on my Wife's Wrangler does get driven everyday it gets waffle towels on it and if am out of them i will go to microfibers.

Blow dry and remove remaining water with microfiber towel.

Blow dry and remove remaining water with microfiber towel.

Agree, I also use a drying agent (spray wax) as a lubricant and for added protection.

Waffle, but starting this season, blow dry then waffle for remaining water.

Whatever type a PFM is :) That is the right choice to dry you car.

I did forget to add I use my little sidekick blower for all the gaps on car panels first then dry the rest. I do have two PFM microfiber drying towels, they are nice!

I never tried that before. When I wash my Wife's jeep this weekend I will try that, as I generally use spray wax once its dry as a wax booster.

Kills two birds with one stone. Spray wax on a damp or wet car does not diminish the effectiveness of the wax. The wax is nanometers thick, the water particles are millimeters thick.

Is that the Rag Co. thing?Yes it is, but I use a different drying towel from The Rag Company...I use their Double Twistress, which is similar to the Griot's PFM drying towel only a bit smaller, with fewer GSM (1,120 for the PFM, 850 for the Double Twistress) and a lot less expensive ($39 for PFM, $13 for TRC). I blow dry and then finalize with the Double Twistress as needed.

If it is not air then this when doing a traditional bucket wash

The pluffles work well with a rinseless wash.
