Best thing to dry my car with?

Luke

Ive been using a waffle weave mocrofibre towel on all my cars but instead of wiping I dab it off. Takes longer but havent had any scratches. Make sure you clean whatever you use after too.

I use a leaf blower. I chopped the tube down to where it funnels the wind at the tip and drilled two holes through it and mounted it onto the leafblower. Now its only 6" long instead of a few feet

Most tap water I know of, and ESPECIALLY my well water ,will leave spots if allowed to air dry. And those spots don't come out! I found that out the hard way many years ago on another car. So I always use microfiber cloths to dry off my car.

Those of you using leaf blowers only: really? No haze remains?

They have wallmounted units that will take out all the stuff in the water that leaves water spots...

Example:
CR Spotless Wall Mount Water De-ionizer System - 300 Gallons | Detailed Image

they come smaller too

I keep the car sprayed down as I am washing it to avoid any spots. The leaf blower makes quick work of getting 98% of the water off and then a microfiber to just hit a few drops left here and there. Never have any haze or dry water spots on the car.

I'm on a well, and my water is very hard, and full of iron. We dont even drink it. If left to dry, it leaves wicked water spots, that are near impossible to remove. I keep it wet, and dry 100% with the leaf blower, and it leaves it perfectly clean, and clear. no towel required.
Matter of fact, I just came in from doing it!! lol

with both of you above^^ the leaf blower works and I have one. I also have the blaster sidekick it gets all the cracks and gaps in head lights, side markers and tail lights ect. I find both methods work and get approx 95-99% of the water off it. Then I just go once around with a micro fiber to dab anything that's left or creeping.


IMO though that blaster side kick was the best addition to my detailing kit. It can also be used like the leaf blower to do the whole car, I have done this the past 2 times and it worked great! Changed the head (comes with two) to make it more of a fan rather then the pointed nozzle. Great product you guys should check it out, definitely a step above the leaf blower! This blows warm, dry filtered air, where a leaf blower is not warm or filtered.....

I saw some guys mention the shop vac earlier? I got one of those...clean it out,so its not blowing dust and debris..and then it should be perfectly safe right?
