My bike is ceramic coated so I use the ECH20 as a wash, 1:10 ratio using distilled water, and then use EliXir as the detailer. I wash with Cobra edgeless, and Cobra red trimmed for detail. For my chrome I use Mother's California Gold, then chemical guys microfibers, two different types, edgeless and edged. Since they're all bascially color coded I don't get them mixed up. Wizards bug release for after the bug collecting trips. I use Rags To Riches when I wash the microfibers which gives them a good cleaning. I tumble dry low in the dryer with furzappers which collects most of the lint are re-usable. Not a cheap endeeavour to buy all at once, but everything lasts a long time except the EliXir. That lasts awhile depending on how often you wash your bike. This was what my detail guy uses so I figured I was good to go.

I find the Griot's Garage PFM towels to be extremely effective. They don't give you that warm fuzzy feeling when holding them because they're not a plush, fluffy towel. But man are they absorbent and the best I've used for removing residue.

I have the gigantic PFM towel and can dry my Sierra and the wife's CTS with it and could probably do another vehicle.The chipmunk is half the size and can do 1 vehicle no problem.
I need to get a smaller PFM, thanks Gizmo for making me spend money!

I always have a good turn out from the dryer. If you have a no heat setting, just air, the dryer works great for microfiber. Just remember to turn the heat back on when youre done or youll be doing maintenance for the ol lady when the her clothes are still wet after the 2nd cycle.

Not exceptional creative, but you think shooting senior citizens is funny.
I run my dryer more with no heat, than heat, to keep my prized t-shirt collection in shape, and so far no maintenace. I set the dial everytime I use it. Maybe I just have old fashioned machines, or maybe we figured out how he got her to marry him.
