or

sonus der wunder ultimate drying towels...

As for water in hard to get places i have a can of compressed air which i blow in crevices which i get from maplins...

or

try using r.o water ......

Before changing to r.o water either by a system setup or aquagleam filter go to your local fish shop and buy a 25 litre drum for about £3 and when your wash is complete pour the water into a watering can and wash off car with it then dry......

The water will still run out of crevices but will dry leaving NO marks due to its physical properties and zero contaminants.... :wink:

sandy either of these 2 towels will dry your car in one hit and i always pat dry personally whilst using a qd spray like megs last touch!!

I use a free flowing hosepipe to sheet the water off and a Water Magnet, and for under the mirrors etc I just BLOW, its really works, I can usually do one side before I start to feel dizzy and sick :lol: , havent passed out yet either :)
