Hey everyone!!

As the title states, what do you use to dry your car after you wash it..

I have been using this towel, and soaks up the water nicely, but leaves a bit of fluff..

So is there some sort of special product you can use??

Thanks for the help..

Sidd.

Ohh man.....you gotta get one!

I use to just wash the car and let it dry itsself.....one day i was at kmart, browsing throught the auto section, bought myself a cheap chamois.....best item i ever bought, even though it was cheap.......the results were amazing, leaves no streaks or anything.

A Chamois is a must :P

A Chamois is a must...

I have 2...I find new ones arn't as good as ones you have been using for like 3 years...After a while the material goes really soft and works so much better...so I try to vreak one in over a year...

u need one man regardless..

i used a small dog. make sure u rotate it occasionally otherwise u'll be wiping wet dog on dry parts of ur car.

let it run around afterwards. it'll love the attention

Just dont let it wee while you're using it... ruins the car's finish and most probably, your day.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
