I bought these and there's more than enough to do my car and my wife's Explorer Sport.

Two of these dry mine completely. Waffle weave microfiber towels work the best and my detailer uses these as well. The Rag Shop has the best towels.

I use those for drying the car and these for doing the glass.

The Rag Company is where I get mine as well. Love the blue ones - sooo soft: http://www.theragcompany.com/eagle-edgeless-16-x-24-microfiber-towel-blue/

Most times I find Amazon sells them for less and free shipping with Amazon Prime.

Maybe something like this

Those things will scratch the shit out of your car.

I use the same thing and it works great.

those things are made for motorcycles and are a pain to use on a car. I use a Stihl electric leafblower. It really moves some air. I then gently dry the entire car with 1 hi-qualty waffle weave towel. It is barely damp when finished.
Less touchy=less swirlies

I dont think so..been using the same one for over a year and no scratches on my Gt. ..Wash and wax liquid and my microfiber mitt.Then then the synthetic chamois is all this paint needs. No compound waxes and buffing towels here. . Thats where all your scratches are coming from...been an excellent finish so far ...Good job Ford!

I pair one of these Chemicals Guys towels (http://www.chemicalguys.com/Woolly_Mammoth_Microfiber_Dryer_Towel_p/mic_1995.htm) with their After Wash product (http://www.chemicalguys.com/After_Wash_16_oz_p/cws_801_16.htm). A couple sprays of After Wash helps sheet the water and provide some lubrication for the drying towel. I can do the whole car with the one towel.

I use an absorber. Zero issues creating swirls of any kind, ever. Just make sure to clean it off well if you happen to drop it.

I use a leaf blower and this http://www.autogeek.net/griots-garage-pfm-drying-towel.html

I do a follow up with a mix of quick detailer and spray wax

I follow up with a quick wax as well. Usually Poorboys, but I've been trying the pinnacle version this time. Not sure I like it quite as much, but it still works well.

I picked up a gallon of Griots speed shine detailer and spray wax from Autogeek when they had them on special

I got some freebe spray wax/detail spray from autogeek a couple weeks ago with my order that I haven't tried yet. Do you like the Griots stuff? I will probably skip the pinnacle next time..I only got it this time because autogeek wasn't listing QW+ anymore for some reason.

^ This. The Rag Company makes great microfiber towels and that's all I've used, no issues with scratches.

I will say that I have better luck drying with regular waffle weave towels than the pluffle towels; they seem to leave streaks for me but I probably didn't wring it out properly.
