Wow! Great ideas guys! Just think, my car could have come out better all this time! lol. A lot of times I wouldn't like how it would come out so I would use a quick spray/detail wax by either EagleOne or Meguires and do the entire car = another 20 minutes.

Microfiber WaffleWeave is a must!

Flood rinse from the top down helps greatly reduce the water you'll have to dry off.

this question has been asked too many times to start a topic, not trying to be an *** but use the search button haha

and most people will either use

1. waffle weave towel or some type of microfiber drying towel
2. The Absorber from walmart and any other place
3. california T blade along with something like the absorber (blade MIGHT cause swirls if there's dirt)

I use an Arnold's Water Sprite. It's used a lot in professional circles. It's like an Absorber, but not. It's also like a natural chamois, but not. It's exactly in between both. It's hard to describe but it works fantastic.
