What's your budget? The new Dodo Juice fluffy white one is brilliant.  A true one pass drying cloth.  My one criticism is the size - good for panels - a pain to wring out! The Poorboys waffle is also very good.  The problem with cheap ones (including the Megs drying magnet) is that they go stiff or are uselss at drying.

theres a big swear word in the title of this thread :huh:........leather? :angry: then you redeemed yourself and put drying towel :wink:

i use the big yellow jobbys from monza and they do job perfect :wink: and ive got the Autoglym hi-tech drying towel which is excellent for finishing off with, i also use 50/100ml of demon shine diluted in a 500ml spray bottle and spritz it on the wet car before drying as it eliminates streaking completely :grin:
