How do you dry your truck?

Hey Nick! Haha
How'd you find this thread! LOL

Yeh I know you did, BUT' ...
I love my truck bro, no prob...

We need to find out how to get all that
mud and dirt out of all those knooks and crannys
on yours.
Probably just a good Ol' spray down bro!
Talk later son!

 

I use a couple of Absorbers and this little guy for clearing nooks and crannies:

DataVac blower.

 

I got one but it turns way hard when dry. Are you supposed to drench it and squeeze it out first? Because I often use a touchless car wash then use a MicroFiber cloth to finish up the drying. There is not enough water though to get the absorber working good...

 

I discovered that my usual method of drying does not work on the Taco.


On every vehicle I've had before the Taco, a blast at 80 down the freeway did the job.

Not on the Taco.

Not a single water drop on the hood moves a bit!

 

Vid or it doesn't happen

 

I ALWAYS dampen mine before touching the truck with it.

 

Chamios and leaf blower.

 

I quit when I got pure and clean well water

 

I just use Chuck Norris

 

California water blade and absorber.

 

Electric leaf blower followed by light finish up with a quality Meguirs drying towel

 

I force air through the hood scoop to dry my truck

 

When it looked like this, I'd take my time with it.....




But after a few rocker panel slams (without armour, DERP )

its a soap it up, wipe it down, rinse it off & drive till dry kinda thing..

 

Leaf blowers throw debris. Any small rocks or hard materials get blown off the ground into the paint.

Good point, but, you don't hold the blower to the ground. Its always at least 3' above. On a reasonably clean driveway you don't find to much debris. Also to add, not a gasoline powered blower, but a good quality electric. I've been using this method for years, never a problem.

leather shammy. Old school.

 

Man I use a motorcycle drier my bro-in-law got me. It is electric and blows hot air. I am trying to remember the name. It's awesome!!! Plus it has a long hose and has two speeds(thats what she said...I wish).
Found it!

I use a white "hotel-collection" level body towel from walmart, which I paid $8 for, and have used for about 5-6 years now. Its super worn in at this point which means its super soft, but its retained just about all its absorbing. I end up going over the whole truck, (or Rav4 or Corolla) 1 time quickly, then going over it again to removing the streaks. Then I small microfiber towels to remove remaining streaks if necessary.
