What's the preferred method for getting bodywork dry after rinsing?

Thanks for advice.

I use one of the big fluffy drying towels from Polished Bliss.

Microfibre drying towels all the way.

I have tried waffle weave towels but the pile isn't as thick and their ability to soak up water seems to vary but a couple of microfibre towels will work really well and a after safer.

I still use the Autoglym aqua dry cloth, does a very good job.

Might be agaist the grain for the serious detailers, but I use a Karcher window-vac thing to suck most of the water off followed up with a wipe with aqua dry.Used on the large panel areas, it makes quick work of drying/leathering off and doesn't seem to mark the paint in any way.

I blow off the water then use a fluffy drying towel from cleanyourcar. Very effective. Also rinse the surface with an open ended hose to sheet off the water....makes drying so much easier.

Uber towel (yellow one) or Purple monster are really good
