I thought I'd try something different and bought some microfiber towels made for drying and I they did a terrible job, they couldn't even get past one body panel without being completely saturated.

What does everyone use for drying their cars?

Gets the water out of the mirror housings, around the handles, etc, and works quick.

I still like old cotton bath towels, washed after each use.

I use a waterless wash, no need to dry it off afterwerds

First I squeegee the water off the car. Then I use a leaf blower. It blasts the water out of all crevices. Finally I use microfiber towels.

Nothing worse than getting the car super clean and thinking its completely dry. Then poof!: a day later, water beads out from underneath the side mirrors, front grille, and under the tail lights.

I'm thinking of getting a small leaf blower. However, I'm afraid the wife will put me to work though.

I would be exceptionally careful about this. One decent speck of dirt on the squeegee and you'll have scratches everywhere.


leaf blower/reverse vacuum is the best method I think. Towels are good, but could lead to scratches as well.

I've been using this for about a year now with excellent results. Use with a microfiber towel.

My gawd man, squeegees are dangerous!

I use waffle towels to take water off quickly and effectively, then microfiber for the small stuff. I worry Im going to blow more dust on my car with forced air.

I use a leaf blower to dry my car and unless I tried to intentionally blow dirt on it or was washing it in the desert I dont see how that would happen. YMMV.

I use the guy at the car wash to dry it.

You do know you ring them out right? lol


I just use costco microfibers one panel at a time starting with top surfaces (to avoid water spots). One for body, one for jambs, one for wheels, one for engine compartment. Works great!

Squeegee and old cotton bath towels for me as well. I was always scared to use the squeegee but no problems with it. Clean car and clean squeegee, no scratches!

I understand they need to be wrung out, but they saturate so fast that you'd be wringing them out constantly.

What I ended up doing is patting the car down with cotton bath towels to remove the majority of water. Then I come back with the microfiber to dry up the remaining water. This seems to work the best for me.

I haven't tried the leaf blower yet, was afraid my neighbors would call the men in white coats if they saw me doing that

Thanks! I just ordered one today. They had that 1-day sale and I purchased it for $44.00.
