I need to purchase some new products to dry my car. In the past I have used 100% cotton towels and have tried microfiber towels.

1. What is your opinion of cotton versus microfiber towels ?

2. What do you think of those Absorber type towels ?

I would like to heard the pros and cons of each if you can.

Electric leaf blower and high-quality microfiber waffle weave towels.

I do exactly the same thing as ZaneO. I use my electric leaf blower to get most of the water off, and then follow up with a microfiber waffle weave drying towel that I purchased from Autogeek. Simply fantastic.

Same as everyone above but I also spritz while wet with your favorite detail spray to provide additional lubricity and gently wipe with quality waffle weave towels.

I use the master blaster. The less you touch the paint the better off you are. its pricey but theres nothing like it.

Cobra Deluxe Jr 600 micro fiber towels

I have only used SM Arnold Water Sprite synthetic chamois for over 20 years....IMO nothing beats it for absorbancy, durability and performance. This followed by a thorough blowing with an electric blower than a complete wipe down with Meguiars M156 for awesome results!

I agree. The thing is awesome.

Being cognizant of what are the most frequent causes of surface marring is important and then taking steps to reducing or eliminate those causes. A majority of swirls and scratches (70 % +) come from using improper washing and drying products and techniques. Preventing swirls will best be achieved by washing and drying with extreme care. This is the step where the majority of swirls are added so good technique and quality products (micro fibre waffle weaves drying towels) are a must.

Sheet the water by using a gentle flow of water direct from the hose (without a water nozzle) starting from the top downwards, and then use a water blade on the glass surfaces. Remove the water from the paint surfaces with a blower, again from the top downwards and then finish off with a waffle weave towel and a drying / lubrication aid (Dodo Juice -Time to Dry) diluted 1:1 with distilled water

so a synthetic chamois is not good?

Master Blaster best thing I bought. I use Micro Fiber oneverthing else after drying.

Snake.Oiler

Ditto.

Quite an investment, but I love how it dries my vette. One of my best purchased ever.
