Cleaning drying etc.

[Dan!]

My detailer uses very fluffy yellow "towels".
I have a couple that he sent me, apparently the secret is to lay them on the body and smooth down then peel off rather than rubbing. It's the rubbing that gives the swirls if there's any grit left after washing.

Please note, I am not an expert on these matters, only passing on what I've been told. I start with the smoothing off method and then rapidly decline into general rubbing to get the car dry. However, I'd recommend the fluffy towels.

Do not use a Aqua Blade as these things do scratch the paint!

Costco do a packet of I think 20 microfibre towels (yellow ones) for about 80p each. I've had mine for a couple of years and they're still going strong. They're approx 300mm x 300mml so ideal for interior, waxing wheels, buffing etc.

Cheers
