Anybody ever use the Rapid Dry Towel? Seen a bunch of ads online. Just curious.

No just use a micro fibre cloth and fab the car dry rather than wipe to avoid creating swirls

I've been using a cordless blower for 90% of it. Just like to know what's out there.

I still think the "no touch" approach is best. Leaf blower for me.

Yeh that sounds like a better option

Blower gets me 90% there and the rest is done with bead maker and a MF towel.

I have a master blaster with a 30 foot hose and rubber end then I just use the mf towels for drips

Hello, I bought this recently and the truth is that it works very well, it absorbs a lot of water and is very soft.

Yep. I have a big one, a medium one, and 3 pack of small square ones. And I will probably buy a couple more.

As other have said use a blower, I have an EGO and follow that up with a drying aid and the following towels (Rag Company);
The Gauntlet Drying Towel for a first pass.
The Premium FTW towel to finish.

I have an Ego and several Gauntlet towels. Haven’t tried the FTW towel. Was planning to try the Creature Edgeless towel for drying aid/detail spray.

I use the Rag Company's Liquid8r and love it. I think it's the medium size and is perfect for our cars!
