Re: Car Drying Method
Right now I use a waffle weave for drying. One of these days I'm going to put the hose on the blower port of my wet/dry vac and give that a go.ScottComment

Re: Car Drying Method
After my final rinse I take the nozzle off the hose and just let a gentle stream of water run over the entire car. This collects up all those pretty little beads of water and sheets 80-90% of the water off the car. After that I take a couple of Water Magnets to what's left.
This process works great on a well waxed car, and even better on one treated with Ultimate Quik Detailer. I can't wait to see how NXT 2.0 or M21 2.0 helps this process.Michael Stoops

Re: Car Drying Method
After I sheet the water off, I use absorber, then a Marine water magnet. On the glass I use the regular water magnet after the absorber.quality creates its own demandComment

Re: Car Drying Method
Sheeting method then Water Magnet. Sometimes if its too hot to sheet, I'll use the blower on the vacuum to get all the little cracks and crevices cleaned out.

Re: Car Drying Method
I actually use the "Water Sprite" but it's like the absorber. I use waffle weave MF towels too. I guess it depends on the car and weather or not I will be polishing it after.Comment

Re: Car Drying Method
After sheeting the water over the car,
I take my modified electric leaf blower to blow off the excess H20 and then do a quick walk around hitting the nooks and crannies.
Next comes the absorber, then MF waffle weeve and finally the plush microfiber to do a final buff.

Re: Car Drying Method
I go for a drive around the block. 5 mins and nothing touches the surface.
Edit: Probably should add that the car is white and never gets water spots.Daily Driver - 1990 Mustang LX - 5.0L
