Do any of you guys have a black car and are drying in with this towel and is it leaving streaks? Also how easy is it to dry.

I have a "Carbon Flash Metallic", Black, Vette. This towel has very little streaking, the least of anything I have ever tried. It leaves Xena shining like a new diamond. I highly recommend

I also hear that it streaks in sunlight. I apply it on my car in my garage. I agree, great product.

No it doesn't streak and it doesn't get dark in spots. The only time I had an issue was when I missed a spot! And I use the 1/2 towel for my whole body. You need to do the towel 2-3 times a week to maintain your tan.

Works really well. I had it on a 2010 acura. The key for me is using two towels. One when wiping the first time after spraying then one to buff a little. Don't Over apply.

I just wash and dry them like I would any towel. Not sure if this recommended but it works. I've had mine for a year with weekly washing a and they are in great shape. When possible I love to line dry!

Hi CalCoxie, I find that the towel takes a while to dry, because it's so thick and made of good quality, it dries your body very fast better than an average towel would.

So far my husband doesn't keep his moist. We hand clean it in cold water and let it dry. Then when he uses it, he moistens only when he's about to use it and it works fine. It does a great job on our Mercedes and does not leave streaks or water spots.

Haven't ran mine through a car wash yet, but I have driven through about 8" of rain since putting it on. Don't see how the car wash would be worse than a downpour going 60+mph. The stick tape goes around the edges and several in the middle plus you bolt the windshield tie down through the back of it so it is on there pretty good. Just give it at least 24 hours to cure before you wash it per the instructions that came with it.

Like a chamois, yes. Strong, absorbent and is easy to "ring out" the water and keep reusing. When I'm done with each car I rinse it thoroughly and hang to dry. Then it's ready for the next use. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to "machine wash" this product. So far washing by hand is suitable.

I use it more to spot shine but have been known to go out and use it on the entire car. If it's fairly clean you can use the towel again but if it has been anything like this winter you need to wash them but they hold up well. I love it and actually have the touch up wax as well for little nicks.

I don't know about the Blackfire stuff, but I am very impressed with the Klasse product. I applied it to my black Subaru in the summer and the shine has still not dulled or faded. We have had the worst winter on record up here in Vermont and I am washing the car at least two or three times per week. The shine on the car has not gotten filmy or dulled as it has in past years and looks like it has just been detailed. I did the same thing to my wife's 12 year old silver X type Jaguar and the shine remains. This product is great and I highly recommend it. Just make sure to apply it VERY sparingly on a cool car and not in the sun. Wipe it off with a microfiber cloth and watch the shine emerge ! I also apply a topcoat of pure carnouba (?) wax by Mother's to increase the gloss. This isn't necessary but a lot of people do it.

Jeff:I have used on both my cars, black leather and the other gray leather..and once it dries it keeps the natural look of your leather. This is mainly a protectant for the leather. The shininess in my experience goes away once it dries.

It dries gray. Also if you get it on trim it will dry almost white. It is more tinting than coloring. I have not found the perfect wax for a black car with black trim.

I had a problem with black streaks when using power application. I was able to minimize the streaks by using the edge of the pad when the center became built up, and changing pads more often ($$!). No problem encountered with manual application (except sore arms and shoulders!)

I've only used it on black leather, but I've never had it pull any of that black color out. Really helped to get a lot of dirt out of the driver's seat, but the rest of them are rarely used, and even with some pretty hard scrubbing and without diluting the cleaner, my microfiber towel came up empty. Great product, should work very well on green, too. As always, test it on a small, less-noticeable area first, but you should be fine.

NoThis squeegee is spectacular. It's very clean and doesn't leave any black residue. After I squeegee I use a sham-wow and dry the shower walls.

Yes I have dried my vehicle with this. Works good. Dry under the hood, through the honeycomb, wheels and even the body with the wide attachment. Doesn't dry the windows streakless like my absorber.
