What do you use to dry it with? Leather Chamoi? Or do you guys use towels? I want something that soaks up water pretty well, and won't leave watermarks after- any ideas? Thanks:D

Go to either Walmart or an auto part store, spend $9.00 and buy an ABSORBER. Best $9 you will ever spend it works the best out of anything that Ive used, and it wont scratch ur paint!!!

Another vote for the Absorber. I'm due for a new one, been using mine for over a year, but I love mine.

leaf blower... won't scratch your paint, because you don't touch your car :D

I swear by the 'California Water Blade'... especially for our big flat body panels.

I just got a shop vac with the blower attachment, and so far I was less than impressed. Perhaps it's because I was drying a dark colored car, so you could still see little micro-droplets, but I'll be anxious to see how the leaf blower works on my white EP now.

Im sorry, but i have 2 absorbers and for some reason, they only work well an cars that are not waxed. every section i wipe down, i have to wring it out 3-4 times and it still leaves streak marks. If you dont wax your car, i would recomend the absorber. If you keep your car waxed than i would go with the big blue drying towel. You can get it at proautocare.com This towel works well with my polished, waxed, black SI and it doesnt streak, and i dont have to wring it out at all. This is the best drying towel out there.

when u use the leather chamois do you have to wet it a little before you dry your car? because it looks pretty rough, im afraid of scratching the car

I have an air compressor so I use an air blower to blow off the bulk and then I use my Absorber to ensure I get the rest nice and dry!

Buy the Absorber. Last drying towel you will ever buy.

The thing with the california water blade is that if you're unfortunate and get a large particle of dirt trapped in the blade it'll scratch your paint too.
I stick with waffle weave microfiber towels. 2 large ones is usually enough to dry a car.
