Drying prevents water spots and reduces the chance of adding swirls or micro-marring during the final stage.

Use a premium microfiber drying towel with light pressure (blot or gentle gliding). For best results, use a blower first then towel-finish.

Twisted-loop or high-pile drying towels are best for high absorbency with low friction.

A drying aid adds lubrication and can improve gloss and reduce streaking. Use sparingly, panel-by-panel.

Dry immediately after rinsing, avoid direct sunlight, and use a blower for crevices plus an absorbent towel for panels.

Yes — use a clean, quality microfiber and gentle technique. Blower-first reduces contact even more.

Not recommended. They increase friction and can trap debris. Dedicated microfiber drying towels are far safer.

Use separate towels for non-paint areas. A smaller towel and/or blower helps in tight, wet traps.
