How do you dry your washed car?

CoastieN70 · Oct 4, 2020

Really! Why? Are you in drought conditions like California always is?

Jshaffer3819 · Oct 4, 2020

No drought, it’s an environmental thing. They don’t want the soap seeping into the groundwater. The soap is biodegradable so I don’t understand the reason but try to comply since I’m a guest.

Yea pretty odd. I still do it but use a two step foam process with a pressure washer. Pretty sure I’m moving into the McKee rinseless products for ceramic coats. Seems fast and convenient with less drying time.

Waffle towel and detail spray

Squeegee and a drying aid such as Ethos D3fy or Turtle Wax 3-in-1 with a large microfiber towel.

I have also been using this turtle wax spray wax and dry for years. It is a brilliant product. Nothing sticks to the paint like the tar spots etc. provided you use this everytime you wash the car.

take it down the highway at 120 mph for a few seconds.

Leave blower at max speed and then Water Magnet towel from Meguiars. Perfect.

Blow dry with the “master blaster”. Got it from Autogeek about 4 yrs ago. It’s not cheap but saves a bunch of time in drying plus not touching the paint anymore than I have to.

Just a 60 mph speed run. I live in South Florida... One 3 minute speed run and a light wipe down and she is good to go. I also use Poor Boys wheel cleaner so the wheels and Calibers come back spotless.

Exactly what I use. Little green two stroke. Have used for years. What's left over wipe off with a microfiber.

Jshaffer3819 · Jan 3, 2021

Same here. Back pack blower then some P&S Beadmaker for the extra shine!

My wife got me one of these for Christmas, I love it! Use on cars and works especially well to get what out of all the nooks and Krannies.

I picked up one if these as an open box offer for about $40 as I remember. The originals had an issue with the hose coming out of the blower and these got a bad reputation. Fixing the problem was literally installing one blind screw and the hose will not fall out. It's been going strong for 6 or 7 years. I don't think they even sell them anymore.

Right now, I use my Milwaukee leaf blower. I’m hoping to get one of these when a decent sale comes up.

A rip around a couple block's then Turtle Wax Wax and Dry. I've tried a blower a couple times and don't think it does much for the time involved.

A bit pricey but man, I can dry the whole care and get all the nooks and grannies in less than a 3rd of the time with a shammy. Not only is it much faster but no streaks or very few water spots and I can drive away with no hidden residual drips from the mirrors, lug nuts, back glass, etc.

I love it!!!!!
