Oh, how I hate that!

i have a small car dryer that is basically a compact electric leaf blower. only about a foot long and very light weight but works great and has an attachment to get in the smaller areas. very powerful and works great.

i use the absorber. I like it. just keep going over the car over and over again until its dry.

Also-once i do dry the car, i'll run it up/down the street to shake the water loose from the nooks/crannies. Then hit it again with the Absorber.

I always follow with quick detailer or a full wax job too.

Does the absorber not swirl the clearcoat? It did on mine.

Other paints are no different than black. You were doing the same thing to them. You just did'nt see it ......

Yeah Black is so unforgiving but thats kind of good in a way. IMO the absorber licks balls. I used the mother fooker one time and it swirled the shit outta my clear coat. I guess I could use it just for the windows but I dont even bother.

You want a waffle weave microfiber towel for drying (its basically a microfiber towel with a waffle pattern on it made especially for drying and they also have a silk edge on them so they dont scratch. They make edgeless microfiber towels for removing wax or polish also (they dont have a sewn edge on them so they prevent scratching).

I use COBRA microfiber towels- and no I dont work for them hahaha.
