    What is your drying method? What method do you prefer? And do you have some drying tips to share to the community?

    For me, I still use the traditional chamois though I am planning to use microfiber drying towel if I ever find one.

    chamois cant buff,

    I prefer regular mf towels now. I use about 5-10. using these quickly dries and buffs the car.

    I used to use waffle weaves but they arent plush like regular thick mf towels. It can dry too quickly imo, its a disadvantage for me. It could be an advantage for some.

    if you dry, surface is just dry. if you used a car shampoo with wax, buffing helps that wax thin out and maximize the protection and shine.

    its a really small amount.. if the cars paint and coat are ok.. its enough wax to make the car look ok.

    hello, I always use the products of the brand Mafra. They have several good products to dry your car!
    They are leaders in Italy and their products are very good. If you want, you can try it

    i use chamois and mf towels...

    best kung may blower ka. you can dry areas na hindi maabot ng towels especially sa mga crevices like back of door handles, around the lights, windows at mga singit2x.

    refer to similar link below,

    Best Drying Material: Waffle Weave, Micro Fibre or Rubber Chamois

    Because I'm lazy, I just watch it dry spotless using AutoDry Kit from Mr.clean. Ordinary car soap or shampoo will not work with this kit.

    Here's a link of owners manual. . http://www.r32argent.ca/Miscellaneou...y%20manual.pdf

    No, it will work on tap water and problema lang mabilis iitim yung filter pag tap. Hirap pa naman bumili ng Filter nyan dito sa pinas. 3-4 Wash lang yung filter pag sa SUV mo gagamitin.

    I use this to blow off excess water in crevices:



    A bit heavy though. Minsan pag tinatamad di na nagagamit.

    I've been using the water drying method.

    Basta last rinse huwag ka gumamit ng sprayer. Walang kahirap hirap hinde pa masyado basa yun MF towel.
