Default Trouble with a drying towel....

....and more cleaning woes!

After watching the cleaning demo at the Annual Meet, I asked my girls for a drying towel, as used by Bert himself (he was kind enough to send me a link the the one he used), for Fathers' Day.

So, new towels in hand (the girls bought me two, bless them) I set about a full clean of the S8. Then the pressure washer packed in, needing a new on/off pressure switch. So I ordered a new one and fixed it. Then it packed in again, needing new brushes. Fixed it again.

Then finally got the car cleaned and started to dry it - the towel is really worth every penny, making drying very quick and getting the car really dry, so less risk of swirl marks and drying spots.

But, as you can see from the photos, I'm not the only fan of the new towel!
