What's the best way to dry our trucks? What do y'all do? A squeege, chamois towel, or MF drying towel ?

 

After rinsing without a spray nozzle, I use an electric leaf blower and MF towels.

 

I use the interstate about 85 MPH works good

 

haha they interstate is 20 miles away so that won't work

So seriously what works well ??

 

this is what I use, it works real good

It depends on what I am doing. If I am doing a full detail I dont dry it I go right to clay and dry the truck as I clay it. If I am just waxing I will blot dry with a MF and go straight to LSP.

 

A good chamois(why it's spelled that way I have no idea). I've done MF but that way takes up too many towels.

 

I am just taking about in between monthly washes or so...I used a squeegee on my last vehicle...i am scared to do that on my truck though it worked really well.

 

I would not recommend using a chamois and the experts agree:

As mentioned above, I do my final rinse without a spray nozzle so the majority of the water sheets off. Then I go around all nooks and crannies (plastic trim, door handles, window trim, mirrors, etc) with my air compressor to help reduce any runs. After that, most of the truck is dry. I then follow it up w/ a detail spray and MF towels.

MF towel from advance auto, I also have the nifty little yellow one from the clay bar kit.

 

Buy two of these and you're set. These things soak up water like crazy. I used to use regular MF towels but they don't work as well as waffle weaves, which are specifically designed for what you're asking.

thanks matt that looks pretty sweet gonna get some of those

 

SM Arnold Water Sprites (synthetic chamois) followed by a basic MF towel if needed. Waffle weaves do work great but once they get saturated that's it, water streaky mess.

BUT, if you're going to be buffing on your paint afterwards then water streaks shouldn't concern you.
