    Drying after Wash

    Anybody got any tips or tricks on drying? I once used my leaf blower. I hate water spots.

    A drying towel or something like the metro is great for drying.

    Try doing a search...you will come up with 1,000 posts on it.

    I don't dry my Jeep with towels,I just use my wet/dry vacuum as a blower.
    Wash day tomorrow? Nothing clean, right?

    I use a 3hp wet/dry vac to dry mine and get no water spots.

    Re: Drying after Wash

    I use a wet dry vac and a absorber towel, I actually suck the water up instead of blowing it off

    Re: Drying after Wash

    I use the flooding method (letting the hose water flow over your car) to get a lot of the water off my car. Next I spray on some drying aid like Griot's Spray on Wax or Aquawax and finish drying with a microfiber drying towel.

    Re: Drying after Wash

    Several have mentioned microfiber drying towels. My paint is fresh and I am waiting out the 90 day curing process. So the mf towels won't put swirls in the paint?
