Best rag to dry my car

I'm looking for the best thing to buy that will last me a long time that I can use to dry my car after I wash it. I use a microfiber cloth i bought for $6 but it's about out of use after 2nd time of drying it.

I need something that wont leave little fibers on my car and that will dry the entire car in 1 pass. Links and prices/names would be great!!!

I'll throw in a vote for the avalanche drying towel from the rag company. It's literally the size of a bath towel, very soft and plush, and vacuums water up easily.

It's priced at $18.95 which is cheap considering it's size and quality.

Was going to tell you free shipping on Friday, but looks like they are doing free shipping everyday now.

They raised their prices, I bought mine at $4.40 a piece, they are now $5.55. Actually they raised their prices a bit on everything, should have jumped in when they had the winter specials.

Also looks like they got rid of the satin edge ones I bought. I really like those and use them often for a quick detail or door jambs/trunk.

Let us know what you think.

Just put an order in for 5 orange 16x16". They are out of 14x14" and 16x16" blues. Why do people hate orange so much? To me( and I may be wrong as I've never seen one of these in person yet). But the lighter the color of the towel towel the easier it is to see dirt and debris.. But hey I would've loved to get there mixed pack of 16x16" but it's $6 extra from amazon... No thanks I'll stick with my orangies...

I bought a waffle weave microfiber towel from Mcguires. Works well I've had it for a couple of years now. I also have one of those plastic feel type dry towels and that works pretty well too.

A shammy? The things that get stiff when dry?

If so I would be careful using one those things aren't that soft...

Waffle Weave Guzzler... Will dry most regular-sized vehicles with just one swipe.

I blow my camaro off with the leaf lower first. It gets the majority of the water off especially out of the cracks so no drips later.
