Should I dry my car?

Should I dry my car after i wash it?, i have never done this, is it necessary? does it make it look alot better?

If so, whats the best way to do it?

thanks.

if you dry it you should use a shammy (chamois leather cloth).

personally i dont bother, i just go for a drive around the block. its quicker and easier and makes your polish last longer.

Depends what weather your in

If its sunny and bodywork is getting hot - u'd be daft not to, as it will dry streaky

But in winter i bet you can get away with blow drying it by driving around

But i used leathering cloths and hated them - used a microfibre and its like wow! Easy drying with less streaking

Every man to there own

proper drying towel and pat it dry which reduces the risk of scratching the paint

Waffle weave cloth, fab

Chamis leave tiny scratches

Yes use a Poorboys waffle weave and pat dry to try and stop the dreaded spider web affect on the paint

Microfibre is the same principle
Pat dry. Once its damp - its tamps 2 rounds on a small area and a good wringing out

If i am going to wax my car, is there anypoint drying it over waiting till its dry? because the waxing will remove any streaks anyway surely? Also when i got the car from the dealers the side windows had something really cool on them that acted like wax to repel the water? looked really cool and i want to do it again, anyone know what it was?

if your going to wax your car the wax wont remove water marks however polish will

I always dry my car - at the min i'm using Eurow towels. They're awesome!

I use a Meguiars Water Magnet to dry mine and follow that with one of their Microfibre cloths. Brilliant.

i dry mine a bit then clean off the water marks left with detailer

with nice soft scottish water on a pre waxed car you shouldnt get many water marks

Ive got loads of that stuff. not sure where you can get it tho. mainly use it on bike visors
