Best way to dry your car after a good wash
 

Usually i woyld just use an old bath towel but since my new Nismo is black i dont want to scratch it up.
so whats the answer...spotless water rinse additive, shammy (sp lol), even read about leaf blowers.

What do you guys use?

Electric leaf blower then catch any spots with waffle weave towel.:tiphat:

I use a leaf blower per Junkman's recommendation :twocents:

If you don't know Junkman, you have a lot of a videos to watch :tiphat: He's also got a Youtube channel under Junkman2000.

Speeding down the highway at 80+ for a few miles, then pull over wipe of any excess with a waffle weave towel while the popo hands you a nice bill :icon17:

That sure was an expensive car wash.

Leaf blower.

Blower first followed by Six 51x30 inch towels layed on the top and dab dried. Sides are dab dried panel by panel. Use chemical guys or other good quality qd after. Wheels are wrapped when washing. I do then separately.

Forgot to mention, old bath towels are only good for your motor or cans and tips. Maybe windows. I never use them to dry a car.

I like mine wet and mooiiisssttttttttt

Ditto on the leaf blower. I picked up a small one at Home Depot for about $20 bucks and it works like a champ. Although, if I had to do it again, I would get one with more max air volume (CFM) just to speed things up. On the plus side, it's only three pounds and isn't hard to maneuver.

If you are a baller, then the Air Force Master Blaster is the tool of choice. If your funds are not baller like, a $30 ELECTRIC leaf blower will work just fine.

The 8hp Airforce MasterBlaster is the only way to go if you really love your car. Warm dry filtered air. LOL Seriously though, it's built like a tank(in the USA) and works like a champ. I tried the leaf blower thing, and the MasterBlaster is much easier to use IMO. Whichever you choose, forced air is the best way to dry your car.

Ok ok ok...I love my Z but for me to stand outside with a leaf blower after I wash my car is a bit much. I look at it as a material item and I can't/shouldn't hold it at such praise. I use a regular sham from the local autozone. Do I get swirls? I guess if you're looking hard enough but I still get compliments on my car. And I still take them as though it's something I made, unlike my physical characteristics. Ever have someone say new nose or nice hands lik they compliment a car?

Well, your thread title asked for the BEST way to dry your car. With your car being black, standing outside with a leaf blower should be the least you should do. You say there are a few swirls now. Well guess how they got there? Swirls are like roaches. If you see a few, you have a lot and it's just a matter of time before you will be looking at swirl city. On black, swirl city is NOT a place you ever want to visit. ;)

Just bought the Air Force Metro Blaster...Was $179 shipped. Love it!

Where did you get it for that price? Link?

Not only that. He uses old bath towels.
