Default What do you use to dry your Audi?

I just wanted to see what everyone used to dry their car off after they wash it? What is the most safe material besides the normal towel?

how fast does that work? i got some micro fibers from auto geek and i love them. if im in too much of a hurry the micros tell me 'cause they pick up all the leftover dirt. need only one to get my car dry, two would be better so i could hit all the door jams as well instead of wasting paper towels. so, again, how awe struck would i be if i used the jelly blade? it makes me giggle like a school girl to say it but how smooth, how fast, etc.?

if ur car is a dark color i wouldn't recomend the blade.... it dries quick but it would leave some swirl marks on ....i see it everyday.. on white, silver gray or any light color i go with the blade..others i use a chamois... i manage a detailling shop..

forgive me, i'm computer retarded. i tried photo bucket, i don't understand what i'm supposed to do. i have a sprint blue 06 s4. i love the micro fiber, you said the jelly leaves marks. so, what if i use the jelly thing to get rid of the water, and use the micro as a backup? it does take out water stains and dirt i can't see, even after a quick scrub.

Chamois always worked for me. With a black car, towels or any other material would easily show streaks.

Do chamois really work that great? Do you need a couple of them to wash your whole car or will one do the trick?
