What do you guys use to dry your cars?

I got this towel from when I used to work for Honda doing alarm activation. Its like those shammy thats on the market everywhere but it works extremely well. Soaks up water beautifully unlike the leather stuff that walmart , target, Super Autobacs sells. I don't know where Honda got this cloth from but it feels a little rubbery yellow in color also but not leather and sticky like the ones sold everywhere else.

What do you guys use? I'm been trying to find this towel again to buy more. Help guys...

lol, I knew your sn looked familiar. Yeah I'll be selling them along with my rims. It all depends on when TEIN will come out with their SS coilovers. Hopefully they'll be out by the end of this summer.

I used microfiber towels before, but they got soaked way too easily. And if any heavy dust or sand falls on your car between when you wash it to when you try it, you may make some pretty large swirls/scratch marks. I switched to using a leaf blower (after making sure there was no more dust coming out), and it works great.

Any sand/gravel go into that leaf blower, it'll hit your car at +100mph. Not sure I like that.


Anyway, I like most is an old T-shirt. An old towel will do too.

Recently I use Window Vista..... it's a T-shirt with Vista logo. I finally found a good use for Win-Vista.

I use either a chamoise or a hydro-wipe which is like the absorber. I like it better than the real chamoise.
I also put it in the washer every so often and it comes out factory fresh. I like it and it works much better
than towels.
