Drying tools
Hey guys, I see a lot of people talking about using a good quality waffle weave towel for drying their trucks. I was wondering what you guys think of those rubber drying squeegees. I don't recall exactly what they are called, but saw them in the local Freddies. Anybody use these? Are they worth it at all or should I just stick with a good towel.

The auto dryer's work pretty well, but if you really want to do it right I recommend using the auto dryer first, and then using a good waffle weave microfiber drying towel. I prefer to just use a good quality waffle weave microfiber drying towel by itself. That's just my preference though. Try it both ways and see which one you prefer.

Like fb, I prefer a very nice waffle-weave microfiber towel. I have experimented with the 'Water Blade' products and have found them to be okay. The main problem that I had with the 'blade' was that it had a tendency to grab the paint and thus, slip out of my hand.
I put two or three scratches on my old truck with the CWB...
Best of all, I like using my leaf blower... no touching = no scratching etc...

RockPick,
Do you get the weird looks from your neighbors that I do when I whip out the leaf blower? And I thought I was the only one.
I actually have another drying method I use occasionally. I drive the truck about a mile down the road and then turn around and come back. I then pull out the old microfiber towels and finish the job. This method gets far fewer snickers.

I do the same thing on the drive to dry occasionally. My biggest worry with that method is that I'll kick up a grain of sand and have it lodge in my towel when I'm drying it after driving. Sure, the same potential exists after just washing it but, I think it's less.
Both methods work... one is border-line silly, the other is border-line dangerous.... but, like I said, I do both.
