Ah yes, the nice fluffy blue griots towels. Blue for spray wax, green for interior, weird texture blue for windows, yellow for dried on wax removal towels, I've got the set . I only use those for waxing/polishing, I thought you meant drying the car after a car wash or something, and for that I use the yellow waffle towel.

I haven't before done the tape method for seeing results, but I will try that.

What are you using to wash the car? Do you have a foam gun? That and a sheepskin mitt will wash the car with minimal friction.

Actually I don't like drying the car with a towel. The best is to avoid swirling is to use a leaf blower or simply drive the car on the highway for a quick spin. If I do dry with a towel I spray the damp suface with a quick detail spray to decrease friction. I avoid touching dry paint whenever possible.

Or you can do the $2 million Ferrari method (fast forward to the 16:00 mark)
