Removing water.

[Scott-R]

Sounds funny but what are people using to get the water off after a wash?

Shammy?
The Padel or squidgy.

I seen a guy spraying chemical on his car after a wash and the water literally disappeared.. What would this be and any ideas of a good place to get some?

Not sure of the spray you mention. I use the large drying towels from ASDA  Very good quality for £2ea

Drying towel works for me. I use Meguiars water magnet. I lay the towel on the flat panels, roof and bonnet to avoid any marring as this is where you'll see it most. If I'm waxing/ sealing I use a blower to get most of the surface water off too.

The spray might be something like demon shine?

Quick drying aids - They are out there. Some swear by them other do not. It basically acts a quick detailer while removing the water with a drying towel, or something like that!

Sheet as much water off as you can using an open ended hose. Then use the biggest, fluffiest drying towel you can find. Let the towel soak the water as much as it can, rather than rubbing it dry.

I used to use a detail spray when the car was still wet, then dry it with mirco fibre cloths, but find the towel method much better (and cheaper)

Big fluffy drying towels here too.  As said lay on bonnet and roof then just pat other panels gently, don't rub.  Dodo juice do some good towels. 

Sometimes if it's hot/sunny, sheeted water can dry off too quick leaving water marks, so I go over each panel one at a time, sheet water off with open ended hose then dry with towel, starting at roof.  Just be careful not to re wet panels already dried.

Or just wait until the sun is heading for the horizon.

Ha. I hate pissing off my neighbours, I care too far too much!

I'm only joking, we have an agreement that no PW or mowers before 0830. I go out drinking with all of them and its always a conversation peice - my OCD with car cleaning.
