    What do you dry your car with?

    I've been using a "Super Shammy" from Wally Mart for years to dry the car off with after a good wash...Just wondering if there is anything better out there to try.
    What does everyone use?
    Take care,
    Christopher

    I use two things. First, I use a California Water Blade to get the majority of the water off. Then I use an Absorber for the rest. The Absorber is a synthetic shammy, but it is the only one I have ever used that does what it advertises. You could just use that and you would be in good shape.

    Leaf blower for the brunt of the water....followed with a micro-fiber towel....finished with a chamois for the pesky cracks and crevises.
