100% cotton terrycloth towels. Be sure there's no synthetic fibers like polyester, as they will leave fine scratches over time. If you really become fanatical about it, get a silicone sqeegee and a cordless leaf blower.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I thought that the microfiber ones are better. That's what I've read on Griot's Garage and a detailing handbook.

For drying, microfiber is not as absorbant as terrycloth. It works, but it's just more time consuming.

s2000kid · 08-22-2008, 03:56 PM

::cough:: ::cough:: how bout uploading some pictures?

Yeah, I got one of those waffle type Meguiars ones and it takes some of the water off and I keep a second big microfiber one over my shoulder and follow up with that. Kind of a pain to double wipe. (insert joke here)

Welcome aboard Kid.

When you're in the "replying to thread box", right above the area where you type are the controls for you script. click on the paper clip. That will open another small window with the options to upload photos from your pc.
Remember that the upload sizes are limited, so it pays to take your photos and resize them before trying to upload them to the site.
Or, like Batguano says...upload them to a photobucket account, (photobucket.com) and you'll have better options for inserting them into your posts.

hope that helps buddy.
Again, welcome aboard.
