Washing my freshly detailed car tomorrow! Is this deserving of a badge?

 

love your before and after pics- nice job!!

why dont you have a badge?
(yes, i agree with you that it is deserving... for the record you just pm the wanabe to let him know about your thread to get the badge. good news that i know him and will make sure he sees this!)

 

I actually pm'd you a couple days back about it. First time posting pictures of a clean car though. My car was just freshly detailed by 'the twanksta' so my cars fairly clean. Although it can use another wash. Thanks

 

I knew Id pass on the bug! Good job! Now lets see the s2k!

 

nice work

 

Good job!

 

 

Just finished my car, too dark to get any good pictures of the reflection. Although the waffle weave towel gave me some problems halfway through drying. It started pretty much spreading the water instead of drying, and left tons of streaks. I tried wringing it out but not much came out. Found a couple of water spots left from the towel but some quick detailer and a microfiber took it out. Im thinking the towel just got too wet though. Is there a certain process for drying/maintaing these. I may be going to walmart to pick up a leaf blower real soon

 

I dry my towels in the open air, hanging from whatever's available - usually a pot handle or a doorknob.

Is it possible that you washed or dried the towels with fabric softener (like a dryer sheet)? If so, don't do that. It'll diminish their ability to absorb, and leave streaks when you use them.
