    I use a cotton towel. Love my Tacoma, but it's a truck, not a show car.

    I just wax my dc prerunner in 30 minutes with turtle wax ice. Its great stuff from bumper. It does not leave a white.residue. It really brings out the color and metallic in the paint

    I let my truck airdry after taking it to a self-service carwash to get rid of the large dirt deposits. Then I use a spray cleaner and polish that I buy from the Honda Motorcycle dealership to actually clean my truck. It works on plastic, aluminum, chrome and any painted surface without scratching it. It also works as a polish with carnuba wax in it. All you need is a lint free rag.

    I only use micro fiber towels to dry my vehicles. A lot of folks don't realize that cotton towels will scratch your paint.
