    Best Drying Tool?

    Hey, I'm still new to this website and I don't have many items yet nor tried many, but I plan on it. I'm still using cloth towels to dry my vehicles at home. What would you suggest to be the best drying tool?

    The Guzzler Waffle weave. I sugget the Ultimate first then follow then follow with the regular or supreme with your QD. Best I have found so far and that thing is thirsty. Also either use a leaf blower or flood your paint first and that will help remove excess water.

    I use an air gun on an air compressor and micro fiber towels. The air gun works great to blow the water out of the places you can not get to with a towel. You are able to blow a lot of water off the car before even touching it with a MF towel especially if your car is waxed/sealed.

    There was some talk recently on the forum about people using leaf blowers to dry their cars. I have never tried that yet but I would love to hear some more people's opinions on it.

    Blower followed by the Guzzler. You can't go wrong with that combination, and your cloth towels are probably doing more harm than good.

    Death Valley, "it's a DRY heat"

    Actually my shop vac blows, yea yea yea, its supposed to. I originally bought it to blow dustbunnies out of my garage. With the nozzle attachment its something I already have available

    I'm waiting for the UPS guy to deliver my guzzlers today so I can wash my car and give them a test. The Santa Ana wind has been howling here for days and my car is covered in dustbunny something

    Guzzler hands down....

    I have two. Don't know how I lived without them. They are perfect for rinseless washing too. Clean up very well.

    I use a leaf blower and remove whats left with a microfiber towel.Its the least invasive method.I have to admit though,drying with microfiber is a lot faster.If you don't have a leaf blower or rather use microfiber then you can blot dry which is a bit better than rub a dubbing .Hope this helps
    You can do it,we can help!
