Water in door creases after washing
« on: 22 February 2011, 21:56 »

How do you guys get the water out of doors,windows mirrors etc.  I give the car a good wash, a good dry.

Take it out for a drive and there is water everywhere.  I've seen someone use a little airline to blow the water out but doubt this is what everyone does.


Tips and advice as always sis appreciated.

get yourself a blower jim, either a small garden blower or the pet blowers are pretty powerfull but the good ones are expensive or chemical guys do a blower i think, i personally dont use them and as you have said an airline is very handy to have/use.

Cleaning cloths don't get water out of the wing mirror housing and the gaps between the bumpers....
