Drying your car....

Well I did some research that I heard about on the G35 forums....

The product is Big Blue II Drying Towels. From what I have read, it is suppose to be one of the best drying towels out there.

So I bought 2...I will keep you guys posted on how well they wrok.

I've been using The Absorber for so long that I didn't realize how many new and better products there are for drying. I'm looking into waffle weave towels, but let me know how to the Big Blue holds up

Subscribed (for awesome new drying product reviews, since I live in a place where the water is super hard).

Hahaa -- ya, actually I read on multiple forums that this is the best drying towel.....
My G35 is black and is a PITA to wash n dry....

These towels were $29.99 for 2 or $19.99 for 1.... I just opted for 2 since it was $10 more.... I should recieve em by next week...along with my 303 Areospace Protectant....

I use the "California Water Blade", and then the Absorber to do a final go-over.

i've been using a chamois for years. YEARS. and i sometimes get those watermarks. really evident on black.

i've heard that the water blade is great though, i'll try that along with that new towel.
