What do you guys & gals use to dry your Lex? I've always used big 100% cotton towels but I was kinda interested in those big microfiber towels from properautocare.com. I see some people use a leaf blower, thats a pretty good idea.

Leaf blower user here. Pretty much guarantees a scratch-free dry job on your car

PakShak waffle weave towel after sheeting water with firehouse nozzle set on low output.

Works great.

PakShak makes the best drying towel and mf in general (I've tried literally dozens of brands). You can order them at www.pakshak.com and use the Club Lexus discount for good savings.

PakShak waffle weave for me too. If I need to blow out the crevises i'll use my air compressor and then clean it up with the WW.

ditto.......Ranney @ PakShak is a great guy with great customer service and his MF towels are as good/better than ANY you can buy.

Waffle Weave is the ony way to go.

Leaf blower and then finalize with microfiber in any spots missed with a bit of QD.

Use both Pakshak and DF Concours Towels which I like equally as well (my local Zaino distributor carries 'em).

Leaf blower is also a great option. I think I saw Dave's GS at NOPI a couple of year's back and it looked great.

I use the cotton towels .. but I'm going to find the waffle weave..

I used to use a California Water Blade but the leaf blower idea sounds much easier.

22' x 30" Waffle Weave Micro-fiber towel. (Meguiar's Water Magnet)



One towel is enough to dry a car. Use two for a large SUV. No swirls and no spots. Holds three times more water than an ordinary cotton towel.

I use "The Absorber"...it's like a big soft sponge towel and works great.

Same here. They work great.

I also purchased the Absorber. Have used in on my previous vehicles and it works great. I have also purchased a couple of the waffle weave microfiber towels from properautocare.com and a smaller one for glass from pakshak and will give those a try.

Where did you purchase the absorber? Looks like a lot of you use microfiber waffle weave stuff. I guess I'll give that a try this spring. Soaks more water without scratching, can't go wrong.

I purchased the Absorber at a local grocery/drug store. I also purchased one when I bougth my old car in 1999 at Fred Meyer's in Washington (something like Walmart). My dad has also used on called HydraWipe and I can't tell the difference.
