First car wash

Billy02987 · 07-29-2009, 12:40 AM

What's up guys, I live in sunny south Florida except it hasn't been sunny at all since I picked my Z up on saturday. With that being said im getting ready to do my first wash later in the week. I got all my soap and waxes that I prefer but my main question is what would be the best and safest way to dry the car? I only ask because I had a 350 before this and it had more swirl marks then a cinnabun. I used a normal cotton towel to dry it, but at the same time I didn't have a garage for my car so it sat outside from 2005 till last week. So I was never really sure if it was the way I was drying it or if it was because it endured the outdoors constantly. Ive also tried microfiber cloths and shammy's, so anybody got any advice?
