I'm guessing one of your cool neighbors gave you a thumbs up for doing that

works better and doesn't scratch because it's suppose to catch any surface dust or dirt that might have floated on the paint surface through the air.

so what do the pros say? use a chamois or go with the drying towel like what's shown above?
Nice suggestion, but i am looking waxing kit with cleaning fiber towels under $50. Would you please suggest me something good quality?

My daily driver is a black challenger. I was using regular microfiber towel to dry it after a wash, but it was taking quite long and would leave some streaks and water marks behind. I then picked up a really super soft and plush drying towel from walmart...its specifically meant for drying and all I can say is I wish had used this sooner! Dries super easily, quickly, without leaving any marks. You don't even need to ring it. Best ~$10 I ever spent!

Best drying towel I've used.....Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy




No matter what towel you use...do a pool rinse first, you'll have much less water to dry.
