Silly question, but...
How do people use their waffle weave towels?
I was going to get one from Polished Bliss, but damn it they had sold out
So, scoured Ebay (as you do), and got one for similar money, a Poorboys one
How do people use them for drying? Is it a dabbing motion and a rinse out? I've heard these are uber quick at soaking up water so you don't have to wipe again and again. This is why I bought one to clean my Pug, so it saves a lot of pressure contantly wiping on my wrist with the other soft Megs cleaning towels I have which are tired.
I'm gonna go wash the car soonish, so will no doubt bugger it up, but advice for future reference is welcomed. The P.B. site doesn't give a quick how to with waffle weaves, or not that I could find.
Cheers

got a couple of options really. the first, use it like you would a chamois. except you don't need to wet it first. however circle / random motions aren't good.
second is to fold it up in half, then half again and half again. then working in straight lines only start at the top of a panel and wipe downwards.
the prefered method is to lay the towel out flat and dab dry. this way you avoid dragging dust particles that have contaminated the paint since the last rinse over your paint.

Also after using the PW, use an open ended hose to 'sheet' the water off the car. Spray the paintwork with some QD (this will help with lubrication and speeds up the drying process) then pat dry with the WW as much as you can.

I prefer wax as its a sealent and more protective over polish, plus the more coats the better for the car, as its applied by hand not machine.
