<VV> Re: <VV> Mr. Clean AutodryT?

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

Best way to dry a car (and it's free as well) is go and give it a good 
thrashing while it is still dripping wet. You need to get up to at least 75 
mph (where legal, of course!).

If you do it quickly enough this will remove all the water except a very few 
drops, before it dries. The bit that is least satisfactory on a Vair is 
usually the rear cove panel (because of the vortex effect), but everything 
else comes up lovely. On a hot day you have to be quick starting out, but if 
you leather off the last few drops from the cove panel etc. when you return, 
it makes a very good job.

It's more satisfactory than just leathering the car without moving it, 
because it removes all the water from places like round the trunk 
weatherstrip, behind chrome strips and wheel arch trims, etc., which can 
stay wet for ages if you just leather the car.

Cheers

Alan
