Eric,

The best way to dry your car is with WATER. Yes WATER.

After your done washing it, spray the whole car with water. Remove the spray nozzel, turn the water to medium. Start at the roof and run the water back and forth, top to bottom. This will create a sheeting action that will remove 99% of the water. Blot up the rest with a 100% cotton towel. No scratches, streaks, or water spots. I have been drying cars like this for 34 years.

Adjust the pressure to your needs, the car must have wax to work best.

John
