I use blue waffle towels. For the life of me I can't remember where I got them.

Sometimes you need to wash the microfiber first before any use to avoid leave lint. I personally use the Chemical Guys Woolly Mammoth to dry the top areas of my car. Its very soft and absorbs a ton of water. At first it left some lint but through use its gone. For the sides I use the Chemical Guys waffle weave Gray Matter which I can grab with one hand for ease of use.

i used CG's Cloud 9 Extra Large Microfiber Drying Towel with Silk Banding but ever since i started using my Ryobi 140 MPH 475 CFM Universal Axial Blower Attachment instead as it's less chances now of swirl or scratch marks.

You stick that on the end of a weed-whacker?? How far from the car do you end up? 10'? Wouldn't fit my Worx weed-whacker... I do have a leaf blower that I use if I'm not too lazy to get out the extension cord.

Well the weed whacker disconnects and you pop the leaf blower on! Saves me from having mutiple garden tools. I can attach an edger or even a trimmer! I stand a few feet away or i get up real close

Get you a good strong leaf blower or opt for a Master Blaster like Wayne Carini uses. I bought one a few years ago and it works like a charm. Then, all you need to do is come behind it with some plush MF towels and your detail spray for final inspection.

If you must use drying towels, try Adam's Great White waffle weave version. Can be found here: www.detailersdomain.com
