Default yes, i admit it...

i cant wash a car for my life.

but ive never had to really worry about making it 100% pefect, since i owned a green and a light blue car, which hid dirt and streaks pretty well.

anyway, i washed the car today, and used a shammy to dry it, and with this car being black, i noticed how horribly it left streaks all over the car. so im looking for good suggestions on drying a car to not end up with streaks.

i might just go back to using a power washer (at one of those quarter washes) and driving it dry. that seemed to leave it real clean.

use big micro fiber towel. if it still leaves streaks go back around the whole car with a detail spray. black sucks but it looks the best when clean. my opinion. something like this.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Prest...spagenameZWDVW

+1 about the large drying towels http://www.obsessivedetail.com/microfibers.html
Get some Optimum Instant Detailer (OID). This stuff will make sandpaper slick. It also has a really nice gloss to it. I tried out a 32oz bottle and turned around and ordered a gallon (Makes 4 gallons, 32oz makes a gallon btw).
http://www.obsessivedetail.com/Optimum.html 2nd product down on the left.

Please dont use the brush at the coin-op. It will swirl up that paint.
