Should I ditch the old chamois? Maybe buy a Sham-Wow? I've seen write-ups that claim a chamois can scratch the finish by grinding dirt into the paint. I think a towel will hold a lot more water than a chamois because I can dry the whole car with a towel but have to wring out the chamois after drying half the hood.
What do you say?

cotter, anything will scratch. The key is to throughly pressure wash the car with soap, and then a clean rinse, and always use a cleaned chamois. I find that a water blade and a synthetic chamios work the best, but I haven't tried the blower solution yet either.
I've got a 45cc backpack leaf blower that can probably blow right through the convertible's top. It never occurred to me to dry the car with it, but I might try it on the station wagon once.
I have used compressed air to dry the engine after washing under the hood.
I suppose this means I can't wash the car on an ozone action day ;-)

I detail cars at a dealership. We use a water blade first to get most of the water off. Then go back over with a clean chamois. Microfiber are good for cleaning off wax and such, but not so good with water.
Microfiber vs Chamois
