Electric leaf blower, then waffle weave towel in the door jambs & such.

MasterBlaster. I also use it for the dogs (three Golden Retrievers and we live on a lake).

I have a cheapo leaf blower and a nicer Toro with some real juice. The Toro especially works well. The MasterBlaster is better, but not as cost-effective as a leaf blower.

Master Blaster...still have to run a 20 amp circuit for full awesomeness, though.

What I do is drench a Stay Fresh microfiber towel. I ring it out really hard!

Fold it and spray there Quick detailer while I dry.

Looks flawless every time!

I use a blower on every crevice. Lay four 24x23 and two 24x24 mf towels. I lay and then run my hands across.

Tazicon 07-13-2014 02:40 AM

I use my air compressor. touch up with microfiber towel

I normally drove it around for a while or to a friends house never really had waterspots or such, however the leefblowers sound like a good idea!

150 mph down the interstate! No water spots

Gadgetech 07-13-2014 09:19 PM

Waffle weave towel. I have a master blaster but really only use it on the bike. Guess I'll give it a shot on the car.

Ooh, yeah...forgot to mention...kicking in that second motor does want a 20 amp circuit.

Shop vac blower with long tube everywhere then finish up with microfiber and Adam's detail spray.

Davey 07-14-2014 06:33 AM

I use deionized water to rinse, so I just drive it. If I happen to get a little water spot from some non-deionized water trapped somewhere I just take care of it with a little quick detailer.

boarderbob 07-14-2014 08:55 AM

I use a QD or spray wax with a microfiber towel. I use a blower for the crevices.

kenchan 07-14-2014 10:04 AM

tap rinse stream (flood mode on firemen nozzle), blower, then blot dry the rest using waffle weave.


then i usually QD the panels afterwards.

kenchan 07-14-2014 10:05 AM

.. oh, and run a dehumidifier in the garage with a fan circulating the air for 5-6hrs.

yah, my car sits in the garage during the week so i need to rid the water out of the nooks and bottom of the car. this does the trick. :D

also good for sealing/waxing on a humid day. shut garage door, run the dehumidifier for like an hour, then start your process.
