If that catches on too much, a Dyson leaf blower will be an accessory for their EV.
You heard it here first folks, Dyson will make an electric car dryer.

You want car detailing information?
AutoDetailing: The Detailer's Domain
I warn you though this is a deep pit to dive into and an expensive one too.

I bought a new Discovery Sport a few years ago and had a pro detailer apply ceramic coating to it - he used G Techniq products - Gtechniq Ceramic Paint Protection, Automotive Ceramic Coating, Marine Ceramic Coatings - it was excellent (GT Crystal serum if I recall rightly). Kept the car looking great and really easy to maintain using the foam lance, mitt and 2 bucket method. I plan to have him do the same when my M3 arrives.

Well yes and no this is Elon. he definitely said it but he hasn't actually done it, yet.
Mind you he did build a flame thrower you could give that a go maybe?
I thought there already was one, my wife uses it on her hair. Drys the car in minutes!If that catches on too much, a Dyson leaf blower will be an accessory for their EV.

@james_power Presumably its not similar to Autoglym Aquawax, Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Wax, Car Plan Demon Shine etc? The latter caught my eye in Halfords today, simply because it was same colour as the video, but I am sure they will stock the other two.
Wash waxes tested
I live in farming country so the last 3 miles is single track and used for moving sheep, tractors and kit and an assortment of roadkill from less sympathetic drivers. Waterless cleaners are a non-starter for me. The easiest way to avoid waterspots (and my water is from a borehole so quite hard) is simply dry with a traditional wet chamois you wring out as you go - works every time. Sadly synthetic chamois doesn't work well enough so I keep my leather hidden from my vegan wife...
a Leather cahmois makes me chringe, easiest way to rub swirls into your paintwork.
Always use a woolen mit to wash with the 2 bucket rule and microfiber clothes to dry. They keep any small specs of dirt away from your paint.

Perhaps you lean on yours and rub in heavy circles? Chamois for drying, not cleaning thick mud off it and there's not a mark on my car. As for microfibre..fine for polishing but useless (in my opinion) for drying. Each to his/her own.
You just use a bunch of clean microfibre cloths for drying. I use about 10 for drying our Model X with its vast amount of sheet metal. As you say each to their own, but I don't think you will find any professional detailers using a chamois these days. They do cause minor scratches and swirls, especially if the car is not totally spotlessly clean. Microfibre cloths are a lot more forgiving.
