    Re: Looking for a quality drying towel

    None touching the car is bad.metro blower then spray wax with short nap to dry up the spots.

    That probably works for normal size mirrors but towing mirrors would require a really large rubber band. Plus the mirrors stick out from the body enough that water from behind the mirror drips to the ground.

    Can't you wrap the towels around the interface closest to the paint. Or a side kick is the best choice.

    All you need is the Sidekick. If you don’t have 1 you’re missing out big time. Unless you’re the type who never does a full bucket wash.. But I’m sure even then it can be useful for certain things.

    Why is the Sidekick better?

    It’s cheaper.
    It’s no slouch.
    It’s a whole lot more portable.
    It’s light weight.
    It’s quik in, quik out & you’re done.
    It’s just for those stubborn areas that you’ll never ever be able to hit such as inside side mirrors, wheels, lug nuts, grills, plastic trim [and I mean behind the trim], window moldings, license plates, lights, windshield wipers, emblems... If you get your car wet and don’t have 1 of these you’re cheating yourself.

    The Master Blaster is a bit on the crazy side expensive for what it is.
    I personally wouldn’t want to completely blow dry my car unless it was 1 of those industrial tunnel blowers they’ve got at the car wash, and even then they still follow it up with a wipedown.. But walking around with a hose trying to fully dry a car? What am I afraid to touch it? Lol.

    My "issue" is just a personal one. I would really hate having to get an extension cord out every time I wash. Even with a 20' cord I couldn't get around either of our vehicles and thats IF they were in the garage. Im looking forward to trying out the 20v blower to see if it'll make me change my drying methods from a flood rinse and towel dry to flood rinse, blower and then touch up with a towel.

    Nope, its too vertical of a panel.

    The magnets and a towel work great and its fast. I've been thinking about sewing mini pockets that hold magnets so I can wash the towels...

    Pretty much feel the same way. If they ever came out with a cordless, would be all over it...

    I’m so used to having to get out my 50’ extention cord when I wash.. I don’t do it in the garage so I need it for the vacuum and the Sidekick.
