I’d say if you offer someone $100 for their dryer, that’s a good offer.

As far as what you’re looking for, either a squeegee or a chamois would be ideal.

+1 on the waterblade. I use it all the time. Peop Boys and Autozon have them for about $15 I think.

FTW

Best combo ever hands down. Blade gets the majority while micros get the drips and drops left behind

The water blade is a good thing, but if there is any debris on the car, it can and will scratch. If you are going to use that fine, but use it in conjunction with the Waffle Weave MF towels. you can get them from [pakshak.com](http://pakshak.com) [dftowel.com](http://dftowel.com) or more locally from my friend scott over at [http://www.specialtymotoring.com/](http://www.specialtymotoring.com/)

Edit: oh and to wax the Elise, since it is red i really recomend either p21s (s100) or souverign they are both truly exquisite waxes on that color. Just make sure you hit it with a light polish first

If you have debris on your car after washing it, you need to a do a better job.

I’m careful to never lay the blade on the floor and I always rinse it and run my fingers over the edge to make sure nothing is on it.

not true… you know of me and my detailing and how meticulous i am if not look at [www.ddetail.com/gallery](http://www.ddetail.com/gallery) most of those have mine and coreys kiss on them. Debris can be in the air as you are washing between washing and drying, things can get caught in the mitt and re-deposited on the vehice etc… The two bucket method helps with this, but you an never be too careful. I know that alot of people that use the water blade wrap it in a towel when they are done so that it wont pick up anything stray.

Oh newman, the blade makes a funny noise. Dont worry about it, it is fine
