Default The Absorber

Just bought an Absorber for drying my car.

Any comments? Pros? Cons? Thanks.

Greatest invention ever. Often immitated, never duplicated.

You can wash it in the washer. Just don't dry it because it will start to lose its absorptive qualities.

I refuse to use anything else.

Thanks for the feedback - glad to hear it is good (especially since you have a dark car). I had read a couple of people say otherwise so I just wanted to get some feeback here. Thanks again.

Been using em for years. Normally get like 5 years out of them. I tried a "Big Blue Towel" and although it dried my whole car without having to wring it out, the next 2 times I used it, it seemed to push the water around more then the first time, and I couldnt wring it out b/c it wasnt wet enough. So I went back to the Absorber. Only problem with that is that it needs to be wrung out like 10 times or so while drying a car, but I can live with that over dried up water spots!

it removes wax over time, just like any other chamos, also, it can cause spider webbing


that being said, it's all i've used on my car since i've had it...december


BUT i would like to switch to a giant microfiber, but im not too sure
