Good morning, dry me
Good morning all, so I looked at past posts, for drying the z, I went out got a black decker leaf blower it has up to 130 mph.... But it don't seem that good takes forever and it's sun dried before I can get it all, should I use microfiber to dry it cause they seem to leave lent balls....I also don't want to just use a random crappy towel and I want to be able to dry it all over quick and also not need several...
What do you guys use? Also the I seem to have a serious issue with bugs and odd spots of tar or something idk what it is little yellow stained spots,i got that turtle wax bug & tar, but it don't seem that effective.... Maybe I need to let it soak longer? |

so da first thing you DONT want to do is start drying ur dew or rain wet car using a towel cause dere is grit and sand and small particles that will swirl ur finish when u drag dat towel.
instead of blowing it off, wash the car either using a hose or using waterless wash products and a nice detailing mf towel. not da crap dey sell at walmart, get the nice ones. as noted on ur other post, u need to wash the MF towels PRIOR to use. use microfiber washing detergent and all. read all about it in da detailing section. and go easy on the leaf blower. u dont need dat kind of power to get water out of nooks. i use a small metro blower. |

Watch some videos from Ammo NYC on YouTube. He uses his own product called Ammo Hydrate as a drying aid, but I use a quick detailer, which does the same thing IMO.

I keep my car with a good sealer and wax on her. Then when I wash my car I use water to dry the car (see JunkMan's videos) the sealer and wax are important for this step. Then follow it up with a electric leaf blower. Works great for me no hard water spots or swerl marks.

Just go to his channel on YouTube (Junkman2000). There are tons, and you clearly have a lot to learn.
Lint left behind by your towels is simply an indication that you are using the wrong towels. I assume you bought cheap Walmart or auto parts store towels ... stick with the Eagle Edgeless and Pfluffle towels from The Rag Company.

Kudos to the Junkman! Some may get mad at what i use.
It works great. Some have said it strips wax, but I have not seen this happen.
