How do I dry my car without a microfiber towel?
I want to make it look like I get my car professionally washed, but I don’t want to spend any money. How do I dry my car without a microfiber towel?

I appreciate your thriftiness! It might be tempting to let your car dry in the sun after washing it, but that is a sure-fire way to reveal it was a DIY job. Do you have a blow dryer?
Believe it or not, a standard hair dryer can give you a professional-looking dry. Since it is so small, it can really get into those tiny crevices that towel drying can’t. The only downside is that since it wasn’t made to dry a car, it may take a while.
Another option is a paint-safe squeegee. If you don’t have one, you can buy one pretty cheap at a discount big-box store. Some folks recommend using an old t-shirt, but depending on the material, it could actually scratch the surface of your vehicle.
