Default What's your favorite drying towel?

I have the Griot's waffle towel with hand pockets and it's fine but I'd like to find one I love. Have you got one that's your favorite?

Leaf blower. Whatever residual water is left I get with a yellow microfiber I got from Costco... not sure of the brand.

Leaf blower. Followed by a blue Sonus waffle weave drying towel to grab the last 1%.

You guys using gas leaf blowers? If so, isn't that dirty exhaust air?

Don't use a gas blower, they can have dirty/oily exhaust!!!!!!!!!! Electric only...no dirty exhaust.

I use the Master Blaster (filtered and heated air) and PakShak microfiber towels. The PakShak towels are a lot softer than anything else I've tried.

In addition to detailing supplies, I order all my parts through them. They always beat any price I find anywhere else.

Thanks for the PakShak tip, never heard of them. My current favorite standard 16x16 microfibers come from Poorboy's World.

On topic, during a hose and bucket wash, I use the Sheeting Method a.k.a. Pooling Method then The Absorber for blotting but never wiping (no nap) and finish off with one of my waffle weave towels from Detailed Image or Meguires.
