PEr FMINUS, this is what I use to dry my Jet Black car off with now. All I can say is...AMAZING! It absorbs better than anything I've used before and is so smooth. The downside is...it's probably the most expensive towel to dry your car that I've ever paid. I have 6 of them and it cost me almost $100.

I then follow it up by using me leaf blower to blow EVERY drop out of every crack, so I don't get any dried up drip marks.
They have a similar waffle drying towel at Auto Zone, 36in x 36in.

$9.99

Those are the Chinese 'practically-plastic-polyester' towels, they just smear the water around, not absorbent at all - it's awful. Don't waste your money, I did and I regretted it. Knowledge is $.

Strange, they work just great for me.

I use two towels, one to mop up the majority of the water and another to dry it completely.

Hmm, I got mine from Baxter or Shucks - some weird 3rd party brand I've never heard of. I'd be surprised if they were indeed the same. lol mine were terrible.
