DI Waffle Weave Drying Towels?
Let me preface my question by saying that I'm extremely satisfied with DI (I think I probably spent near a grand there over the past month).
I just received several waffle weave drying towels from Detailed Image. They seem to be about one quarter of the thickness of the waffle weave drying towels from Auto Geek. Do they work well? Should I send them back and buy towels from Auto Geek? Has anyone tried them? Thanks |

Haven't tried them in direct comparison to the Autogeek ones, but they work fine for me. With the sheeting method, you really shouldn't need an insanely thick towel to dry the car. One waffle weave from DI dries my entire car (sometimes I'll use two, but one does the job).

I would use the sheeting method to rinse off the car and you won't even need a Waffle Weave towel. Use a leaf blower if you have one

Which Autogeek ones do you have? I have their green cobras, and they are the same thickness as the DI ones. Did you get the ones that have a sponge sewn into it?
Anyway, I like my DI one better, the AG one was shedding. They sent me a new set, but I haven't moved it back to the primary towel because there is no reason right now.

Sheeting method?
I use several to dry the car but, I have about 6 of them now...so, newest on top...and older for lower half of the car.

This combination has helped speed up my drying process while minimizing adding imperfections and water spots to the paint. Hope that helps, George |

I do the exact same thing...wash, dry, QD! Works great. The drying always takes awhile so, I'll check out this sheeting method. Anything to expedite the drying!

What QD do you typically use, George? Just wondering, sounds like you need to buy it by the gallon

Thanks again for posting the instructions, George. Also, your organization is a pleasure to do business with. I pay for standard shipping and get the package in 2 days. Unbelievable!

[QUOTE=Detailed Image;5263208]Using a QD after a wash is slightly different than if you QD'd a car to remove a light dusting. You really only need a spritz or two per panel if you are using it as a drying aid. Right now I've been using Chemical Guys Speed Wipe and have had good luck with it. I just got in Dodo Juice Time to Dry which is designed specifically for this process but haven't had a chance to put it to use yet.
George I would be curious to now about the Dodo Juice Time To Dry Detailer. Let us know once you use it your thoughts! Thanks!
