i use that little bastard "the absorber" as well, but like dan mentioned, no way to get all the little water pockets

i'd consider using my dads air compressor for that, but i dont know,, i guess i have a fear of little things getting shot at my car through a leaf blower or compressor

Takes less than 5 minutes to dry the car. It's also awesome for drying the wheels. That job takes me about 20-30 mins to do by hand, about 30 seconds on each wheel and they are dry with the leaf blower.

As long as you aren't drying the car in a sand storm or blowing rocks and sand from the driveway onto the car, it is a whole lot safer than towels or any other kind of method to dry the car.

i use a mircofiber towel and an air compressor, the air compressor is good because its filtered air unlike a leaf blower that can blast anything that the intake sucks in.
