| Re: **POLL**What do you use to dry your car after washing? **POLL** Currently use a chamois, but after reading a few recent threads microfibre seems to be the way to go. I have a couple of microfibre sports towels from Aldi, might give one of them a go. |

| Re: **POLL**What do you use to dry your car after washing? **POLL** I used to use a synthetic chamois, but I've been using Meguiar's "Water Magnet drying towel" for the last few washes, with great results. I also have a couple of cheapy micro fibre towels from halfords which I use for the windows.
