who dries there car after washing it?

[Mr Sam]

id notcied a few people at shows etc drying thier cars after they got rained on or after a quick wash i LOL'd and thought how sad

 

 

anyway over the past few weeks ive started trying this out in an attempt to not leave water marks all over the car

 

 

 

so id washed the mk1 the other day and was very pleased, come home after work to find the old man had left the sprinkler on next to it roof windscreen and all down one side was covered in water marks

[bigdaz27]

i always leather mine of when ive washed it

[antz]

wash, then a go over with a obsorbant dish cloth (ha ha) followed by a polish everytime

[2.8i Cossie]

yeah wash then chamois (shock) then polish it!

[Retro-gone.]

wash it, hydroblade it then leather it

[Yeomans22]

i just take my capri down the bypass at about 70mph, but i've had my escort nearly 2 years and have never washed it

[hellblue]

When i lived in london you had to dry the car cos the water is so hard it would leave steaks & spots but down her i let it drip dry

[Copey]

wash it, hydroblade it then leather it

 

that then wax it...

[caprinerd]

same as hell blue when i lived in london but now in norfolk i still dry it off but we get a lot of dust because of the farm lands

[sab6024]

I used to take mine to the jet wash up the road, rag it down the A30 home then polish it

[Mk2Jo]

Always chamois the car off after washing it but not after it has rained because someone once told me that you won't get watermarks from rainwater ... can't say I've taken much notice as to whether that is true or not

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i dry my bonnet before i open it if its been raining because all the water runs through my vents and lands right on top of the air filter and carb

[pauline]

i dry the victor off for i dont like the water marks. Not dried it off after it rains has i would allways be doing it as it lives outside

[Chris!]

I dont wash my mk5 so dont have a problem with water marks

[BIGKEV]

I wash it then drive it and it gets caked in Oil

 

 

 

 

Again

 

No point in washing it lol

 

 

They call me Concours Kev lol

[Trevmk3]

if i had paint worthy of being polished and looking nice then i would dry it after washing it but i wouldnt bother keep drying it after rain as it would probably rain once i had dried it

[Takeshi]

I always dry it off after washing it. If your using wash and wax stuff then let it drip dry it can leave horrible water marks.

 

I dont bother drying it after its rained though, since the car will be probablly dirty anyway and drying it will just put swirls into your paintwork.
