Squeegee works just fine on the curvy 911, there isn't much water to wipe off after the squeegee. I used microfiber towel to dry after. It works for me.

 

Agree. I use a California water blade on 95% of the car. Works great. Microfiber towel afterwards. Then I go for a quick drive hitting at least 50mph then I wipe down the mirror water from the side of the car with retailer

Oh come on.....! How about a masseuse!

 

Leaf blower. Hardly need my microfiber towel afterwards. The car is virtually dry after the leaf blower. And no worries about scratches or swirls.

Use ear protection with the leaf blower and noise is not a problem.

 

Another leaf blower user here. Followed by microfiber.

 

Back back blower... Ok, a really fancy super powered leaf blower. Drying is so easy when you have like 10 coats of menzerna stacked on your clear coat. I echo other here... waffle weave drying microfiber towels.

Please consider keeping bath towels in the bathroom. those fibers can get so stiff.

 

1. I use De-ionized water
2. Handheld electric leaf blower (ear plugs are a good idea)
3. Followed by waffle type drying towel dedicated to this car only (never use fabric softener). Throw out towel when it begins to show signs of wear. Wash your car detailing towels separately from your clothes.

Get yourself a good quality drying towel. Yes, they are relatively expensive but you have a Porsche and you knew they are not cheap cars to maintain when you bought it.

 

Good waffle type, like Cobra, autogeek.net is an excellent source for quality products.

 

All Great ideas, I have my 17 yr old son wash and dry. I read the paper/iPad........
I taught him Well.
Lol.... Most of the time we wash it together, and we wash his 96 civic....Leaf Blower....micro fiber towels....

 

I use an inexpensive leaf blower. The gas powered 2stroke will exhaust oil particulates from the exhaust onto the car.

I found that the micro fiber waffle weave drying towels from the housewares department at Wal mart were extremely effective.

For washing, a grout sponge from Home Depot works great as it does not have large pours so it is easy to rinse off any visible debris.

 

I use a leaf blower. For any run offs I dab with a soft cotton towel.

 

I've got the garage mount Spotless CR and even w/ fresh resin I wouldn't leave my black/black 997 to be 'sun dried'. Water spots on black are no fun. I use the 'waffle' fiber towels (blue) and crank up my garage compressor to blow out channels, seams, wheels, etc. I do a short drive around the 'hood' and then wipe up the water trails.

 

+1 The silicone blade doesn't scratch the paint and if you use the grey waffle weave microfiber towel, you'll only need 1. Best of all it's fast.
The wheels of course are a different story!

 

i use my trusty stihl leaf blower ...
