What is the best kind of cloth to dry our Mustangs with after washing ? For years now I have been driving pickups and SUV's and have not worried to much about it, just used a clean bath towel with no noticeable scratching etc.

But now with the Mustang I want to be real careful, so what is the best way to dry it off ???

 

Good micro fiber.

 

A GOOD SOFT CHAMOIS(PRONOUNCED SHAMMY) THERE IS A COMPANY THAT MAKES THEM CALLED WATER SPRITE AND THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE EVER USED SINCE I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS THE SAME THAT THEIR DETAIL GUYS USE AND IT SHOWS GREAT SHOWCAR LIKE RESULTS!!

BUT ANY CHAMOIS WILL DO, AS LONG AS IT FEELS SOFT TO YOUR HAND, IM SURE YOUR CAR WILL ENJOY IT TOO!!!

HAVE FUN!

 

I use a Toro Super Blower! I have 4 coats of Zaino and the water just blows right off.

 

I would suggest you post this in the DETAILING SECTION/TOPICS, that is where this needs to be, and [sm=icon_cheers.gif][sm=signs003.gif]

I have been washing cars for forty years and have always used a chamois, but this idea sounds great! A blower would atleastget off most of the water before using the chamois. I'm trying the blower idea at my next wash. Why didn't I ever think of that? Just dumb, I guess. Thanks, TacoBill!

Waffle weave FTW! Blows away chamois, and more durable and wash machine friendly.

My paint is full of spider webs right from day of delivery, I use a Chamois anyway, as to not make more webs?? Tried web remover did not work.........Dealer uses a Chamois but still makes webs![sm=signs003.gif]

 

I've used Chamois for over 20 years and I have found that it does dry your car quick, but it can pick up dirt and hold it in the skin. Thus creating unwanted marks and spider webs.
Since I bought the new Mustang, I have yet to wash it.....I never drive in the rain, so it doesn't get that dirty. I do use Meguiars Detailer on it very often with a Microfiber towel.....still looks as good as the day I bought it back in Dec. I have let it rain on the car while parked in the drive way then I wiped it down with a Microfiber towel. Microfiber doesn't dry it as well as a Chamois would BUT, I would rather be patient and keep wringing the towel out than risk getting spider webs or worse on my cars finish. Just remember, you can wash a Microfiber towel.

I think TacoBill's solution to use a Blower on it is a very good idea!
