Summer I do it at home once a week or more including a full inside detail. Winter I wash the car twice a week at a coin op and wash it at least once. If i'm not feeling lazy I use my own soap and a mit but if i'm tired ill just use the brush after I blast any **** off of it. The spot free rinse they have works better then I thought but is often out of order. I often dry with a water blade/mirco fiber towel or chamois.

Ditto. I washed my car today, freakin' cold outside.

Well, at least I got the salt off my car. My blue car was looking very white.

I always use a wash mit, and soap. I don't trust that soap in the coin op. It could be dishwashing soap for all I know..lol.

Chamois suck, and microfibre towels suck too. Don't bother with them. Microfibre towel is good for dusting, and cleaning dust off your dash though.

I use something called "The Absorber". I bought it from walmart, and it works wayyyyyyy better than a chamois. It holds so much more water than a chamois can. The absorber is a yellow coloured towel, and I'm not sure what its made of, but its soft and comes in a tube. Its like the "Speed Dry" towel that they have at Cdn tire, but the "Speed Dry" towel doesn't work as well as "The Absorber".

Here are the best to worst for drying your car.

1) The Absorber
2) Speed Dry Towel
3) Chamois

I have all three, and I only use the absorber to dry my car, because the other 2 are just a waste of time.
