Best wash mitt and drying towel

[Jaguar steve]

Plauged with swirls when using using a microfibre mitt and drying off with a combination of Autoglym drying blade and traditional chammy leather. Was thinking about the Meguiars lambswool mitt and microfibre drying towel but any suggestions for something better or more gentle before before I hit the pay now button?

As good a choice as any imho. I'm not averse to a chamois leather, and chop and change between that and Autobrite's deluxe fluffy drying towels depending on mood / which is nearest. I've not noticed any particular increase in swirls from chamois use - be gentle with the chamois as you would a drying towel and they're as safe as each other. Drying towels may be a tad quicker to use, but there's something a little bit special about a quality chamois.

£3 drying towel from Asda.

Excellent product. You don't need to pay £daft.

I use a Dooka Wash Pad and a big blue MF towel.

Before the Dooka I used wash mitts which I purchased from Envy Valeting.

I think the blade may be better in a skip.

The blades are good a lot of people are not a fan though, chamois's are the best for drying your car IMO

Mitt/blade/chammy leather has been fine on two other cars washed/dried in exactly the same way. No swirls at all on those. I guess the lacquer is very soft on the problem care so need to find an alternative before I loose another day of my life swirlbusting, polishing and rewaxing.

Have you tried using a different sealant?

Personally I think the Megs wash mitt is fine... or Dodo J microfibre wash sponge..

As for towel I wouldnt use anything but this:
