The best way to dry up your car (and I mean every last drop) is

California Waterblade whatever you can.

Big Blue towel dry the remnants. Ive tried every product out there and nothing works better than this technique. Absorber is great brand new, but when it gets wet, it just spreads the water everywhere. Just be careful and make sure the waterblade is clean, or else youll scratch your car.

Compressor works the best. I might be selling one soon, local only ofcourse for $190. 15 gallon 3 horse, craftsmen.

I prefer the Absorber to my Big Blue. I ring the Big Blue more often than I did for my Absorber and the texture rips at my hands. Maybe I got an offbrand one or something, but mine leaves lots of little water spots (I wash with really hard water ). I used the Absorber on a dark green car and Big Blue on Berlina Black.

I don't get it.

This thing is the least absorbing material I have ever seen. A paper towel would be better. It doesn't absorb ANYTHING, it just smears the water around.

I mean, it does not absorb A DROP.

I've seen on some old threads it might be temperature sensitive. Could that be it?

I have no idea what's up with your material but I own six and they are by far my choice for drying cars. I much prefer the Absorber to the Big Blue towel and use that one only when I forget my absorber at home.
