    My friend loves them, he has a 02 GMC very nice truck!

    I am afraid to use them on my SS.

    popular science just tested them and gave them a good review. They held the amount of water they claimed and mopped spills out of carpets but fell short on smooth surfaces like counter tops and tile. They didn't try them on cars.

    Tried them on a car and they leave streaks, no scratches. I think they are best suited for mopping up dog piss.

    The Absorber is great.
    So long as you don't move it on the paint.
    Use it to 'pick up' the water and you are fine. Pull it across the paint and hello swirl marks.

    really? i havent noticed that. my paint, though it has like 10 coats of wax, looks like brand new. what do you recommend to dry instead? i think that the absorber works great, but am def ready to try something new if it works better.
