Aloha all...

Just curious on how you guys/gals dry your vehicle after a wash.  Any reason why you prefer one way or another?

With Aloha,

I usually just use a chamois.  takes a little while to get most of the water off, but it looks real good after.

try the Mr. Clean car wash kit.  that works good, and I never have water spots.  I also park in a garage most of the time too.
