    For me, I still use the traditional chamois though I am planning to use microfiber drying towel if I ever find one.
    I use a powerful 600W leaf blower and a plush MF towel I bought from Lazada. First, I pat dry the whole car with the towel to absorb as much water as possible. Then, I use the blower while patting it dry with the towel (folded into a square). This way, it dries a lot faster rather than using the blower alone.

    I never wipe as I know it will cause the dreaded swirls! Lol! The advantage of the leaf blower is that it can push out all the trapped water from the car's tight corners and gaps. The disadvantage is that is too high pitched noisy. I have to use a protective ear muff to muzzle the noise.

    Where I bought the product:

    Leaf Blower:

    Lotus LPB6 6W Air Blower (Black) | Lazada PH

    Plush MF towel:

    AutoShine Car Care Wax Polishing Detailing Towels Car Washing Drying Towel Super Thick Plush Microfiber Car Cleaning Cloth Grey - intl | Lazada PH

    Basically we use the same method, different brand/make material.

    Bosch blower/vacuum, I bought in Oman when I'm still working there.

    Microtex Elite Large drying towel (60cm X 90 cm) bought from True Value

    I think it's difficult to achieve the water drying method. Some parts are left with water droplets so I still have to use towel or perhaps I just don't know the technique.

    I used to water dry my car. But, I got lazy and I just went straight ahead with the pat drying/leaf blower method. lol

    I washed my car yesterday and used this Microtex Elite which I bought also from True Value. Absorbs well when pat drying and covers a much bigger area than my previous towels.

    Thanks for the tip.
