I cringe when I see the synthetic and natural chamois, they will draf heavily on your paint inducing swirls.

Keep in mind, the less you touch the paint the less likely you are to mess it up.

I use a shop vac with the hose in the exhaust port. Then I use the slender crevice tool for a more powerful wind speed. What used to take an hour to dry now takes 15 minutes. I then use a micofiber to detail the rest.
