I go to a touchless automatic car wash. It uses no brushes, or scrubby things to scratch the paint, and it has an automatic air dryer that gets 95% of the water off, then i follow up with lint free clothes to get the few runs and spots that are left.

The Absorber works great! I've been using it for 6 years now. You can get it at many fine retailers. Check their website for a store locator: http://www.theabsorber.com/

Black magic makes a shammy that I use. I use to use the absorber but the black magic one is about 50 cents cheaper and is a lot bigger in size and absorbs tons more of water so you only need to ring it out several times instead of like 10 or 15 with the absorber

lol

i bought some microfibre and went last night and the body looked great but got the occasional streak on the window (essentially used 5 towels,
did 1 half of the car with:
1 towel for doing initial dry, 1 towel for going over it again and picking up any left over water
did other half of the car with same routine, 2 new towels.
then used a fifth towel to go over the entire car again to get rid of any bubbles or dust that i may have missed.

looked hot, ill post pics when i get home tonight.

I use RAIN-X and clean cotton cloth (old ripped up sheets) and do three coats on the front window, 2 on the rear and a single coat on the sides. As long ass you polish at the end with a clean, dry cloth, you will not get streaks.
