It's been years since I bought mine, and wonder if anyone can recommend me a good wash mitt & drying towel?
Alternatively, perhaps @NickReilly063 could come down to Cambridge to detail my car?

I’m a huge fan of these:

Some wheel brushes can be quite harsh on soft wheel finishes, and you also run the risk of them flicking dirt or extra-strong wheel cleaner into your eyeballs during use. And whilst you could use a regular mitt on your wheels, it's going to get filthy in no time and risk coming into contact with...
It’s supposed to be for wheels, but I find it excellent for the whole vehicle, particularly our old Mini with all the fiddly bits of chrome etc.

Full disclaimer, the owners behind Yum Cars are friends of mine. I exclusively use their products for all my cleaning and maintenance these days. They aren't the cheapest, but they are good quality products.
Ed, the drying towel is great. As with general microfibre care, it is best to wash them in non-bio at a lower temperature and to avoid softener/conditioners during the wash (as in washing the microfibres after use). Otherwise, they lose their absorbency and can become hydrophobic.
I confess, I do use my Makita leaf blower for some drying activities…Many thanks Andy.
I wonder how many people use an Air Blower to 'dry' their cars? Starting from about £75 they are more expensive, but perhaps not in the longterm?
I bet @NickReilly063 has one?
