Different drying techs.

I use a synthetic type chamois, followed by a MF towel. Works great. Chamois picks up most of the water, and also will get rid of waterspots that may have dried before I could get to them.

I`ve had good luck using the leaf blower from my shop vac. I then use my WW to remove the remaining water. This speeds up the drying process as I don`t have to wring out my WW at all (drying my Avalanche). Additionally the leaf blower gets the areas where water builds up and drips while I`m trying to polish and wax (door trim, handles, side mirrors...).

One more thing I`ve noticed is if I move the WW slowly across the paint it picks up more water. I usually just turbo dry though.

Hope you find this helpful

I use leaf blower, as well. My neighbors give me infinite grief....kidding me about "blow drying" my car. But hey, it works great!

Waffle weave mfs, a car dryer/leaf blower all the way . I threw out my Absorbers a while ago.

will the absorber scratch the clearcoat or leave webbing in it? I prefer to use mine, I have one that is about a year old and its as soft as my microfiber towel. I also have one that has only been used for 10 times and there is night and day difference between the 2. Maybe they just need to be washed several times :dunno

I use to use the Absorber as well. Although it definitely does a good job of removing water, I do think that the risk of scratching/marring is much higher than with a Waffle Weave microfiber towel.

This is because the Absorber (which I believe is made from some type of rubber) does not have any "nap" in which to hide/trap/remove small pieces of dirt, like the WW towels do. As such, if the Absorber goes over a piece of dirt, you are much more likely to cause scratches. The WW gives you a chance of avoiding that, since the nap can trap the dirt and prevent it from scratching the surface.

Never use much pressure when drying your car (with a WW, Absorber, or anything else for that matter).
