I'm sure there's a post on here somewhere but I just wanted to get an idea of what products people use to dry their cars after washing??

I currently use a zymol synthetic chamois but I'm far from impressed!

B&Q leaf blower - works a treat but the neighbours think I'm odd.

Ah, read a post from your good self earlier regarding your 'monthly' detail, fair play to ya....

Heh, yeah seems a little excessive until you see the results. I love cleaning the car myself, but I'm not at the level of Polished Bliss, and I can't justify having my own tub of Vintage.

However, if you have a good coat of wax on the car drying is fairly simple. Chamios are a little bit 'last year' so to speak. The generally approved way of drying is to pad the car dry with a waffle weave towel, such as the PoorBoys one.

Leaf blowers just ensure there's no chance of inflicting any swirl marks.

couldn't agree more use a leaf blower takes all the hard work out of drying the car it also blows water out of the cavities so easy to wax after washing. It also helps if you rinse the car with water that has gone through a polishing bottle.

I've got a compressor, cuts the time down on drying. Oh and get a water filter if you can even quiker:-)
