Re: Drying aid
You probably don't need one in that situation.
I have all of our cars done with some type of Optimum LSP, and I use one of their options as a drying aide, not to add a bulk of protection, but to aide in the removal of liquid. I usually use their Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer.

Optimum IDGE is a great underrated product IMO.

For me, I blow dry 95% of the water from a car, then follow up with a towel and drying aid. While there are technical reasons to use a drying aid, lubrication and added protection, I just like the process of going over the car with a towel and a really nice product, probably one of my favorite detailing steps.
What your saying maybe true about your drying towels staying absorbent, but I don't feel like washing my drying towels after every wash.

Re: Drying aid
Drying a wet vehicle with just a GOOD towel and with minimal pressure doesn't scratch. At least not on any of the vehicles I've owned. Maybe people have certain cars with really soft paint where there is a higher risk?
2 years since I've polished the paint. Zero marring. And that is with both rinesless washes AND bucket soap washes.
