Of course mf waffle weave drying towels
Again I use the Meguiars one
.
I'm not against that product. I have had 3 cars to detail with leather last year. I always use baby wipes to clean the leather and apply Autoglm leather cleaner and restorer for a matt/natural look. Or if you require a silk/shiny shinny look Autoglym vinyl & rubber. I have not tried the Meguairs one yet.

Just noticed your car is very light in colour so wont show swirls and scratches like a dark colour can.

Lord knows, the picture doesn't really show the full horror of it either. It actually looked like someone had sprayed that stone chip primer over the entire car. Badly.

also note the contrasting lime green handles and mirrors, and contrasting front and rear alloys. perhaps this is a badly modified job.

Perhaps it's to make his car easier to find when he staggers out the bar - the luminous handles and mirrors will make it easier to spot in the dark and if he's so drunk he can't see then he can find it by feel.
