What are you guys drying your car with? Everything I have tried leaves either lint or water marks. Black cars are impossible.....

I see you have black as well. Zaino is my jesus.

 

It's good stuff....I have been using the squeegee I bought from target and it works like a champ....but I dont know the name of it and googled auto squeegee and got that link...

 

i use a synthetic chamois called The Absorber - it's under 10 bucks I think. works like a charm.

yes black is a PITA! - you should see mine today after the open track event yesterday lol

 

I use meguires crystal car wash and then follow up by removing most of the water using the silicone squeegee/water blade. then i wipe the rest of the car off with the absorber then ill use a meguires cleaner wax then follow up with meguires tech wax

 

The Absorbers are the BEST thing I've found next to an actual chamois...but I've found that you do NOT want to let them dry out. If they're a little damp, they work really well.

I tried that rubber squeegee on my mom's Corolla (I wasn't about to try it out on my own car in case it scratched it) and I found I STILL had to go back over the car with something to dry off residual water that had smearedon the car.

Oh, and for those who useterrycloth towels to dry your cars - DON'T. You'll use a TON of them to get the excess water off, even wringing it out several times. The Absorber (and even a regular chamois)work SOOOO much better.

 

And how is that working out?

 

+1111 on the Absorber, best chamois Ive ever used!!!!

 

When I used to run a detail shop, we would dry our black cars first with the Eagle One water blade and then we had these industrial size microfibers that we'd finish it off with. No lint, no stray watermarks!
