I use 2 towels, withe same method as auto perfection, first sheet off as much water as possible, then just lay one out, move on to the next towel lay that out then just go back and pick the first one up, you will end up with a little bit of water left, but just repeat the process, i think the problem with most people they are not patient enough and want it dried pronto, its my favorite bit, because i am unveiling shininess.  :smiley:

^^^Are you guys gonna be open on Friday?
Yep - we've got you pencilled in!!  Are you still planning to come see us?
Yeah coming up. The issue is timing. I was thinking about coming in Friday evening but given that it's a 3-hr drive to Birmingham, 3 hrs of messing around in Brum, a possible 3+ hrs going to Wales to see this evo triangle thing, and another 3 hrs back down south, I might stop off and see you guys on the way up, like maybe 9-10am?

Or maybe I'll go to Wales early AM first then to Brum and then back down south and see you guys around 5-6pm?

Not sure. All I know is that just before I leave Brum, I need to stop off at Nousey's.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

about the megs drying towel. Nothing is illegal, haha. Its all down to yourself how you want to care for your car. One thing i will say about the megs water magnet; aftep a  few months of use, they can start to become a bit scratchy. Well, certainly in my experience. Best yay to check its not like this is to find a cd, and rub it with it. If it leaves behind any scratches, it will be doin the same to your paint.
