    when you use this to dry to you wipe with it or just blot it?



    I am currently using absorber and it aint bad. There are some brown spots(dirt i guess). How can I get rid of them?

    I am an absorber user myself. I blot the car dry when using it, no wiping or draging on the surface. (Higher chance for scratching) You can put the Absorber in the washer with a small bit of liquid detergent and it will be good as new. :up

    I`m a combo California Water Blade/Absorber user. The CWB sweeps off most of the watter and then I just blot with the Absorber to get the rest.



    You can get the dirty spots off if you just run water over it and clean it with soap. Absorbers clean up pretty well if you scrub em often enough. I have one that I`ve been using for more than 4 years now and it still works like new. I just clean it once in awhile.

    Mine are a BIT dirty after each use, but they clean up pretty easily with Dawn and lots of water.



    I lay the whole towel on a large surface of the car and "blot" it dry. Dragging might remove wax or scratch the paint if there is any contamination. I follow up with a microfiber towel to dry the smaller beads of water left from the Absorber.



    Have you tried removing the spray nozzle from the hose so the majority of the water sheets?

    with the Absorber. Actually my pre-drying techniques leave the surface mostly dry anyway, so blotting is all that`s necessary. I use the water hose trick first to let the water mostly sheet off, then follow with the California Water Blade on the flat smooth surfaces, then finally spot blot with the Absorber.



    I`ve used the Absorber for years, and it`s never let me down...

    thanks for the replies



    Yeah I always use the hose without the nozzle to let the water sheet off.



    I dont use CFW anymore since it scratched my GN so I`m staying away from it. I`ll just use the absorber then follow up with an MF towel

    Brad B. was the first to preach the virtue of his blotting technique. It is without a doubt the best and safest way of drying your car. Laters

    I don`t have the CWB. But I DO use the Absorber and blotting works well for me. I find that any smudges on the Absorber can be easily removed with Charlie`s Soap.
