Thanks again
If you don’t use forced air - something like a leaf blower is ideal, use the following towels:

The Rag Company - Double Twistress

Luxury Microfiber - Sucker Jr.

Care & Feeding:

Wash: microfiber restore as your cleaner - nothing else and don’t mix with any other types of laundry items

Dry: never use anything above low on the dryer - no drier sheets.

agree, been using my Stihl for years....air good enough to breath, good enough to dry my car.

FWIW I like synthetic chamois over leather chamois.
Waffle pattern over smooth, I have no insights.

But, a leaf blower or Master Blaster is much better option for drying.
Followed by high quality microfiber towels for the detailed/ final drying.

Less touching (wiping) and dragging over the paint the better; I could say.
Especially with black painted cars

Good luck in your projects.

I guarantee you won't find a nicer drying towel than our Ultra Plush

I have that towel and it works very well. Having said that, I still always use a Master Blaster to dry my cars.
