I have used an absorber for 24yrs, and its about worn out.
I tried a mirco-fiber drying towel from wally world and it sucked.

Ive used the absorber ever since I was old enough to wash my dads trucks. Best thing to use IMO. I haven't found anything better out there than the absorber..... Why change lol

Also use the leaf blower, works great blowin water out of the grille and other hard to reach spots. Then follow up with the absorber
