leaf blowers are great, but i'd also recommend some quality microfiber waffle weave towels

Actually used a wiperblade/arm for years detailing cars then the residual with a chamois.

What does it matter how many times you have to wring it out?(unless you only have one hand,put the phone down!)

Microfiber is good for wax i've found.

Default On the motorcycle....

Been using the leaf blower for years on the bike gonna start on Thomas (my aspen yes I name my vehicles) since it has so much chrome. See pic 😀 I always said if you can park it and walk away without looking back at it you bought the wrong one.

I just wash the car and then get in and drive it for about ten minutes and it is dry.
It's like the leaf blower option, but more fun.

Chamois is just a water absorbent and it scratch your paint. It does not have the ability to catch the dirt that microfiber has. Ditch the chamois and buy a dedicated mf towel for drying, interior, buffing and polishing and for glass.

Agree with the microfiber towel. Chamois is nice and soft but any grit on the surface will scratch your paint. Use a good microfiber towel! They are designed to trap dirt and grit. Far better!
