can you wash a drying towel and should you every once and awhile?

 

What type of drying towel?

 

i dont remeber what kind exactly but its a microfiber.

 

your washing and searching the site at the same time?

 

girlfriends are magical

I literally use a drying towel. got it from pepboys. works nice... squeeze out the water and repeate.. also able to throw int he washign machine.. it rocks

 

Wash with Dawn original blue dish washing soap and vinegar. Do not put any other detergents in or fabric softeners. You can machine wash and air-dry.

 

MicroFiber Waffle Weave Drying Towel

This is what I use.

 

i needa get me one of those. i use 3 microfiber towels when drying the car.
one to soak up most of the water, one to pat the extra droplets, one to wipe. 2 more towels for the wheels...

you should always wash the towels. who knows what may accidentally get in there while your not using it. even when you're using it, your car isn't exactly spotless.

 

jedi do you use 2 or 3 of them or will one take care of the whole car?

 

Meguiars magnet drying towl.. one does my whole car. Wash every other car wash.

 

I find that 2 are needed. I use the first one to soak up the majority of the water and the 2nd to actually dry.

 

California squeege works great!

 

You have to very careful with that tool.

 

yea, if all the loose contaminants aren't completely off the car, it could catch at the edge of the squeegee and scratch. with a towel it's easier because the contaminants end up in the towel's weave and not be right up front ready to scrape your paint.

i have to admit though, it'd be lot faster to clean with the squeegee.

 

True.. I admit I have used on before on my previous car.. only because I didn't really care for it. It dries the car sooo much faster.

 

First blow the water off with an air blower. Gets the water out of all the places like the front grill, side vents, and around the mirrors. Then use the towels to get whats left. I use 2 large micro fiber ones from Walmart. Love those towels. Great for dry dusting the inside too. I wash towels only with them selves and air dry after each use.

Hey anyone tried new clean diapers for drying? I read about it somewhere and that it is great for absorbing water.

 

cheaper to buy microfiber towels. (plus your neighbors won't look at you so funny)

 

so what kinda drying towels do you guys use??? whats better chamios or microfiber or leather chamios??? i notice that "the Absorber" dries up after a couple of uses and isnt the same as when bought new....any suggestions??

 

I machine wash my [man-made material] chamois cloth every once in awhile. I take it out after the full spin cycle and put it back in its plastic tube damp. Works great.

I also machine wash and air dry my microfiber towels often. They were high quality to start with and have therefore held up very nicely.

 

microfiber towels from autopia auto care or fiber-works are the ONLY things that touch my car's paint.

I like the large waffle weave towels for drying.

I'm not a big chamois fan

 

4 huge bath towels, 100% cotton, that's made in USA. Throw in the machine with extra rinse after each wipe down. Megs car wash soap, no softener.

Microfiber and Megs quick detailer to finish her off.

 

^ Anything 100% supple cotton is best. Mircofiber is known to cause fine scratches. Chamois cant trap any particles not washed off.

 

I use those "miracle cloths" they sell at car shows. They work great (really).
