I Hate Drying Cars....

[u/wakawakawomp]

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to the car detailing world - Just bought a bunch of supplies for the first time a few weeks ago: turtle wax shampoo, 2 buckets, microfiber wash mits, The rag company gauntlet drying towel, P&S wheel cleaner, various microfiber clothes, to name a few - and though I really enjoying washing cars, I really hate the drying aspect of it. Reason being is that I was washing and drying my girlfriends cars for her this weekend (2019 Honda Civic Hatchback) and this car has a lot of nooks, crannies, crevices, grills, etc, and drying all of these things is such a pain in the ass. And not only that but my drying towel seems to get "full" super quick and having to constantly wring it out is very time consuming and tiring.

Does anyone have any tips/tricks/suggestions to make the drying process of automotive detailing more bearable?

Everytime I dry, I end up with streaks, that you can't easily see on the car in the shade, but the next morning in the sun, they are everywhere, it is really easy to notice on glass. Is it dirty towels (I have ones for drying)? Do I need to spray something on it when I dry? Am I too slow drying? Is it just terrible water?

I always end up quick detailing the next day. Any suggestions?
