Dry car with "dry" microfiber

[ichigo103]

Hi everyone,
Drying my car always been a hard time for since summer and I live in Apartments in Washington State. After wash panel with optimum no rinse, they apply a thin layer of dust from trees to my car . Is it better to wet my microfiber and squeeze it dry before dry my car?
Thanks

If the car has been properly maintained with a claybar, polish, and waxed and sealed. Drying your car should be a breeze.

But yes making your towel damp and using a spray wax as a drying aid will help reduce any possible scratching from the drying process.

Afterwards you get a dry towel and buff off any streaks.

My MF cloths work MUCH better at drying a car if they are wet and wrung out first (kind of like an old time chamois). I also use a quik detailer or quick wax as a drying aid to add lubricity and minimize washing/drying swirls.

If you dry the glass first this can help prime the towel.

Make a solution of your NR Wash in a spray bottle and prime your MF towel.

I am planning to apply car sealant on my car which I follow my step below.

1/ riseless car wash.
2/ clay car with fine clay sponge from nano skin
3/ apply Wolfgang polish enhancer
4/ apply Wolfgang paint sealant 3.0

Step 3 and 4 I will apply with yellow applicator pad from meguiars

For step 3 and 4 if I buff the polish and sealant with totally dry towel, is it ok or I need a damp towel to do it?
Thanks

I like this method with a couple sprays of QD on towel
