[Free Video] How To Dry Your Car With Water

I know that it sounds weird to say "Dry Your Car With Water" but that's what you're doing. You see, water wants to stay together. Each water droplet is looking for another water droplet to join...and they like to stay together. So rather than fighting the water use its properties to your advantage.

Here's all you do: after you've finished washing your car and have done the final rinse take the nozzle off the end of your hose, slow the flow to a steady flow, hold the end of the hose 3 or so inches from the edge of the car and slowly walk around the car. Of course you're going to want to begin at the top and work your way around the car.

Although a waxed surface makes the drying more rapid it also works on an un-waxed surface

Enjoy the video below. It should save you the $20.00 for a drying blade or the $30.00 on the Mr. Clean system. It works best if you've been maintaining the surface protection

Did not get to the video... taking too long to load.

However, yes that is true and it is a good "tip".

For me though I find it takes way to long and still leaves a fair amount of water that must be removed. DI water for me - just let it evaporate.

No arguement from me on that! I see so many people out there scratching their paint with a drying blade and towels who don't have De-Ionized Water.

Thanks for the feedback on the load time as well.
