Good morning, dry me
 
Good morning all, so I looked at past posts, for drying the z, I went out got a black decker leaf blower it has up to 130 mph.... But it don't seem that good takes forever and it's sun dried before I can get it all, should I use microfiber to dry it cause they seem to leave lent balls....I also don't want to just use a random crappy towel and I want to be able to dry it all over quick and also not need several...


What do you guys use?

Also the I seem to have a serious issue with bugs and odd spots of tar or something idk what it is little yellow stained spots,i got that turtle wax bug & tar, but it don't seem that effective.... Maybe I need to let it soak longer?

I use a cheap Walmart hairdryer. Works wonders on the car and especially the interior carpet and floor mats.

uhhhh.. :ugh2:

so da first thing you DONT want to do is start drying ur dew or rain wet car using a towel cause dere is grit and sand and small particles that will swirl ur finish when u drag dat towel.

instead of blowing it off, wash the car either using a hose or using waterless wash products and a nice detailing mf towel. not da crap dey sell at walmart, get the nice ones.

as noted on ur other post, u need to wash the MF towels PRIOR to use. use microfiber washing detergent and all. read all about it in da detailing section.

and go easy on the leaf blower. u dont need dat kind of power to get water out of nooks. i use a small metro blower.

I can't ever tell if you are being sarcastic :/

Watch some videos from Ammo NYC on YouTube. He uses his own product called Ammo Hydrate as a drying aid, but I use a quick detailer, which does the same thing IMO.

Yes, to gag and quiet an irritating forum member :rofl2:

omgwtfreally 04-29-2017 11:08 PM

So, update I got the cordless jet fan blower, 100mph, 18v lithium battery 280cfm whatever that is I also ordered a shamwoww

I keep my car with a good sealer and wax on her. Then when I wash my car I use water to dry the car (see JunkMan's videos) the sealer and wax are important for this step. Then follow it up with a electric leaf blower. Works great for me no hard water spots or swerl marks.

Just go to his channel on YouTube (Junkman2000). There are tons, and you clearly have a lot to learn.

Lint left behind by your towels is simply an indication that you are using the wrong towels. I assume you bought cheap Walmart or auto parts store towels ... stick with the Eagle Edgeless and Pfluffle towels from The Rag Company.

Kudos to the Junkman! Some may get mad at what i use.
It works great. Some have said it strips wax, but I have not seen this happen.

Nixin 04-30-2017 11:06 AM

I also use a synthetic chamois and I have not seen any wax stripping off of my Z. The water beads exactly as it should when a car is waxed.

Thanks, I'll look him up now, well I ordered shamwow....Are they good?

Where can I get the eagle ones?

omgwtfreally 04-30-2017 11:52 AM

Update, idk you guys who use already blower must use a 1000 mph one, the upgraded one I got it's strong but it takes way to long to get all the water off like an hour, I just do much as I can then do the rest with towel, hope that shamwow is great ima just return the leaf blower don't seem good at all

Good stuff, it's a quality product and most of the Formula 1 and Indy Car race teams use it. Plus, NASA has officially approved the shamwow for use on the International Space Station :ugh2:

And I think here's where we accept the fact that some people can't be helped and aren't worth the effort. The info he needed was in the very sentence he quoted, and reading all of it was too much work.

JARblue 05-01-2017 06:53 AM

So you're saying now it's time for :stirthepot: with a little side of :horse:?

I still lowkey reminisce about the early days of the Z forum. Back when we all knew eachother. Dumb questions were never asked. Ricers couldn't afford it. ah... the OG days.

It was a joke for you OG's but dead serious advice for the OP. I did forget to mention to him that if he sets the hairdryer to 220V it will dry his car much faster than on 110V ;)
