Holy S>>t This post has been around for almost a year, and I still use only the leaf blower.
What do you all use to dry your '03?

Mr. Clean baby....autodry
:coolman: :coolman: Absorber to take the heavy drops off, then finish with chamois. I have two pieces of chamois: one for the main outer surface, the other for inside the doors, trunk lid, etc.
Another thread returns from the dead. Search is awesome!
A couple of things not yet mentioned... I use an electric leaf blower. Walmart or similar stores sell these for $20-$25 dollars for bargain models. They may not be as good at blowing leaves as gas blowers but they have more than enough power for drying cars. Not a big investment to try one. They are also GREAT for dusting and sweeping your garage. They do a much better job than a broom.
For whatever reason, drying with a leaf blower leaves a freshly polished type of appearance. I have had people think I just waxed the car after I washed and blow dried it. The leaf blower does a great job drying cracks, the wheels, THE ENGINE! If you wash your engine, try a leaf blower and say goodbye to spots.
This has been a public service message from the "Electric Leaf Blowers council..."

I use a microfiber towel sold through Griots. :thumbsup:
I use 100% cotton towels as recommended by Zaino.
What is an absorber?

I use a high-powered air blower. Cost $30.
I use the electric leaf blower method, and towel dry the "stubborn" areas.
I haven't read this thread in a while, but I tried the california water blad, Bad idea. The rubber squeegie (sp?) comes off and streaks the paints. I also think it scratches the paint if there is any little contaminant on the surface. I now stick to 100% cotton towels.
I use The Absorber, followed by microfiber towels to finish up. No scratches thus far.

Truth is I do not wash my`94 or `03 Cobras. They are not daily drivers, never have been in rain or snow. I use a spray product "Mothers Showtime" and a micro fiber towel for dust.
On my Black Explorer (daily driver) I use a blade to remove the excess water and microfiber towels that I bought from Griots Garage. I`d never use a cotton towel,...... microfiber is the only way to go for drying and removing wax!

Yup. I now use the Blade for squeegeeing down my shower afterwards to cut down on soap scum.
The Mr. Clean autodry really renders the other products obsolete.
Absorber with a leaf blower chaser.
Mr. Clean Autodry...followed by the Absorber...if needed.
As I posted earlier in this thread (and since it was dug up again). :beer:

Mr. Cean Autodry here, skeptical at first, but it really works well, even on my black convertible!!! No spots anywhere, not even on the glass.
