Drying Cloths In Car?

[best]

I have about 40 of each type of cloth, dry cloths make my cleaning faster by a fair bit and I will use most of them every three days then wash them and go again, and can not for the life of me understand why people scrimp on cloths

Ditto

what boils me is my work mate insists on drying the sills with dry scrimsyou end up going home with boat load of scrims to wash

wet scrim to wipe sills hayho thats all it needs

Would this method work, to dry cloths? I was going to use two broom handles with hooks drilled through them they can be attached to the handles above the two front car doors then on the other side of the handles have some smaller hooks maybe four then have string with loops hooked onto these and the string will hang above the two front seats in the car. Put scrims and sill cloths across and turn the blower on in the car to dry them! The string could be easily unhooked and put on the roof rack if the weather was good! Good idea?

I might have to use my spare key to start the car up to have the blower working then lock the car with my other key! Is it not worth running the car like this to dry the cloths? Waste of petrol?

Best practice is to use a small channel squeegee to take excess water off frames/sills first before drying with a cloth. You can use old rubber for that channel too so puts it to good use. That way you will cut down on a heap of cloths you would need to use /emoticons/wink.png

same as Smurf says I found wiping bottom frame with my sepperate sill cloth before detailing bottom of window stops your detailing cloth collecting water from sills/frames

I have enough cloths so that I collect them in a bag as they get wet / dirty during the week then wash and dry them at the weekend.
Drying wet cloths in the car this time of year will build up damp mould in the car as it cannot dry out properly.

Exactly. I'm sorry but you also lower your business image by having cloths dangling from the windows to dry.

I've not tried them myself yet but you can get Ultra Fast-Dry Towel by Discovery Trekking that look really interesting that might be worth a try for sills etc.

Cloths for sills/frames eh!....So what's wrong with wringing them out by hand.........wimps /emoticons/tongue.png.

And your detailing cloth shouldn't be getting soaking wet if you squeegee correctly /emoticons/wink.png /emoticons/smile.png.
