Microfiber Towels

[dmd2005]

I second the rag company MF towels. I also ordered a BigBoi dryer from Esoteric to get all the water sitting in the crevices out.

Bigboi BlowR PRO Car Dryer

The worst thing is towel drying your car after washing and detailing and causing streaks and swirl with even an extra soft cloth. I think I’m OCD when it comes to detailing my cars and truck.

If you want to minimize scratches and swirls while drying your car, I highly recommend what I think is the best drying aid on the market: Ammo NYC Hydrate. The key is to dry your car with a clean MF towel that is damp and lubricated with a liquid drying aid.

Here is a video where Larry, a somewhat famous youtube detailer and owner of Ammo NYC, describes why he came up with Hydrate and how it works. You can skip to 2:50 on the video.

A cheap quick detailer will work just as well. Ammo stuff is overpriced IMO.

These are great for car detailing - affordable, edgeless, and 500 GSM https://www.amazon.com/RAG-COMPANY-Professional-Microfiber-Detailing/dp/B00GXRG64I

I have tried and compared detailers and spray waxes used as drying aids. They are certainly better than no drying aid at all, but I still think Ammo Hydrate outperforms them. Yes, it is expensive, but if you used correctly and at the correct amounts, one bottle lasts 6 months or longer.

Believe me, I'm all in favor of using cheaper products that perform just as well. For example, I recently posted about Turtle Wax Seal and Shine as well as Technicians Choice Ceramic Detail Spray. But Ammo Hydrate, IMO, is one expensive product that is unique and worth the extra cost.
