Been using waffle drying towels for years, they are worn out, no longer soaking up - what's the best drying towel to buy these days?

I quit using towels to dry a couple years ago and switched to air.

I do air first, then a towel. SO.....back to the original question - what's the best drying towel?

"Best" is subjective, and is generally a personal preference choice. Personally, I use a leaf blower, and thusly have no need for a drying towel. I go straight to applying a topper or "drying aid" and smaller standard towels. However, in the rare case when I do not have access to one of my leaf blowers, I have had good luck with The Rag Company's "LIQUID8R". It is an 1100 GSM towel. I have a couple in the 25x36 size. I can dry a complete small to medium-sized vehicle with one towel.

I use Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 350 to dry, after air blowing.

Have a couple of air blowers, use in conjunction with twisted loop drying towels. Used Griots PFM’s for a while but now prefer Gyeon Silk Dryers.

I don't know this poster that I quoted above buy based on his responses to questions in here I think we have pretty much the exact ideology when it comes to car care and ultimately detail in a very similar manor. When in doubt the LESS you physically touch the car the better chance your paint has to not get scratched. When cleaning always use a lubricant and when drying use a blower first to get most of the water off and out of the cracks and then when you do dry use a drying add to not only help prevent scratches but also to add a little bit of protection and gloss. All of that said I use (almost exclusively) product from "The Rag Company" as you are guaranteed quality products.

The Liquid8r from the Rag Company works great

I thinkn Fyr said it, but I will repeat( as old guys do ). The best drying towel is a car blower- I hear people use them for leaves too, so easy sell to the wife.
Blow as much water as you can-spend the time around bottom window seal and side view mirrors as these are drip points. I don’t wipe but blot or hold a damp microfiber which will naturally draw water to it. Two reasons for this technique. 1- is less wipe + less opportunity to induce marring and second is- unless damp, you add static which will attract dust,
This is another reason why coatings are nice as they are by nature more hydrophobic than waxes are

I use a leaf blower first, and then use this for touch up drying. It's BIG.

I use my EGO leaf blower and finish up with an Adam's drying towel.
