yeah , now that would be cool !

Why not get good quality ones and reuse them? Most "microfiber" you buy in stores are of poor quality.

No matter what always worried about trapped dirt in the rags. I’ve refused and cleaned and I get scratches after so I buy a new bag.

I order them online or at auto store. I don’t buy the crap ones. I spend the money on the better quality micro fiber.

How much would you say you throw away, dollar wise? My ~50 bucks in towels, washed after each use (tumble dried) are going on a year, and are as soft as day one.

Who cares about the cost of rags?

A custom detail cost $100+

Rags are cheap. If you live close enough I’ll leave them out for you.

Been using micro fiber towels made for drying off cars.
Was thinking about a blow-dryer, but then I picked up "the Absorber"
I have no idea how long it's been around, but I am impressed.
When you ring it out, it's just as dry as when you started
Yes, still have to sweat, but makes it allot easier for drying.

Well first I use a spot free rinse comprised of babies tears filtered through a unicorn's vagina......no, actually I use my leaf blower

I also use (groits) waterless wash, just spray and wipe. I can get the whole car done in 20min

Cheap rags are cheap, sure. Keep using those.

I wouldn't accept the dime-store handouts, anyway. I do appreciate your gracious offer.

Get r done, no drip dry for this girl!

It’s got the mystery 130 mph whistle! Sounds mean, we don’t get to hear many manuals rip it well.

 

[16GoManGoHC2]

I found The 130 whistle happens with windows up and vent set to outside air and cabin pressure gets too high and literally blows the windows out, on recirculate it doesn’t happen. Having sunroof on vent helps it to not happen also.

 

[YMMV]

I use either a battery powered leaf blower or McKees Turbo car dryer. I wipe as little as possible as that is one of the biggest causes of swirl marks. Well that and car washes.

When I do need to use a microfiber, I use GYEON Large Silk Dryer or Griots PFM.

 

[hellno]

What’s wrong with swirl marks, I thought everyone liked to swirl

That was my CO in the pilots seat of that AH-1S.
He got the best pics I took that day!

flying in a helicopter is cool feels like your just suspended in air
