Great see you there around 6:30. You'll be easy to spot... I'll just look for the car with the biggest crowd surrounding it :p

Ok, I'll be there! hopefully I can get home, wash my car (it's FILTHY from the rain) and then get over there, shouldn't be a problem. But I also have a garage door opener I want to install.

I'll do it when I get back.

See u at 6:30ish

No toys, unless you count the wax and towels toys, it was $70 for the gunk to make that car shine!
Zaino?

BTW, where did you get your towels, were they any good, and were they pre-cut to good sizes?

I've had troubles finding good absorbent towels for drying the car off. I generally buy 100% cotton, made in the USA/Canada bath towels, and then rip them into 3's. The only problem being that they fray like a **** and get lint on my car.

I've had decent luck with the Simoniz 100% cotton ones for detailing but they're small and are no good for drying off the car.

Thanks,
Elmer.

Elmer,

Have you tried microfiber towels? They suck up water really well, with no streaks or lint and won't scratch the paint.

I use some artificial drying sheet, "The Absorber" I think, and then use a microfiber towel for all the little bits.

And they come in fairly nice sizes, like 15" by 15".

Yes nice meeting you both, an Fritzman too.

I picked up the terry cloth towels at canadian tire for waxing. I use a shammy for drying, I have a real one and an artificial one, both seem to work equally well.

I think I should have bought the microfiber towels though the terry cloth (although that is what the bottle of wax said to use), leaves some lint behind. But they were new, they should be better after a wash.
