meguiars drying towel

[gsdan]

I just used the Meguiars drying towel for the first time , and it took longer to dry the car than it did to wash . I have a very dark blue car , and I'm sure there will be water marks on the paint . I ran out of daylight . Any other recommendations for drying ? I'm also looking for a low gloss/flat tire black product . Thanks

Welcome to MOL.

The towel you used is the water magnet? Just making sure.

Do you have a coat of wax on the paint so most of the water is repelled off the surface with a sheet rinse?

Re: meguiars drying towel

Yes , water magnet , yes on the coat of wax . It does have water spots so I guess I'll go over the whole car with the detailer . Very disappointed in the towel

Run the water run gently (nozzle off) from the roof down, and if your wax is good, most of the water sheets off as The Guz suggests. I also use an electric leaf blower to get the rest. Whatever is left you can pretty much blot off with a Kleenx.

Re: meguiars drying towel

Sorry to hear about your experience gsdan. Another suggestion we can think of in addition to the information other members provided (having a good coat of wax on the car, using the sheeting method) is to try using the towel again after washing & drying. It will work better after it's first wash.

Re: meguiars drying towel

I keep trying this towel and the results are still poor . Takes more time to dry than it does to do the interior and wash the car . Leaves a lot of water spots . Looking for something else. i have been using Meguiars products for over 40 years , and this is the first disappointment . It's actually a really good track record

Are you ringing it out any? What is your Method for using this? What kind of dark blue car?

I use one of these for my full size SUV and its barely damp once I am done. (granted I take a blower to most of the nooks and cranny's) But there are other cars that I have used these with without a blower and they don't get to wet.

Re: meguiars drying towel

Youre not pre soaking the towel like you would a chamois are you? If so, thats the problem. Make sure to start with a clean dry Water Magnet towel and you shouldnt have any issues.
