Anyone have an ABSORBER drying towel?

It (or the Sprite) is a great addition to the shelf. Generally the only time I use it for drying-after-washing is on the windows of a vehicle in need of finish correction...where the water just "lays there" and other drying methods are less efficient. Otherwise, I prefer a sheet rinse and WWMF.

FWIW, I use a water blade for the same purpose. It's great for glass....super quick.

I know the owner of the Absorber company, actually use to do some work for him promoting the Absorber at large car shows like The World of Wheels and the Portland and Seattle Roadster shows.

Before I worked for Bill Stuart I kept one in my Sanger Drag Boat to sponge out water that got into the boat as I never used the J-Drains, just the Absorber.

We sell something like it here at Autogeek called the Water Sprite.

Had the boat for 20 years, I think I had the Absorber in it for 17 years...

I am also a fast boat freak, so I have to say NICE boat Mike ! :xyxthumbs:

I also like to remove the end of the hose , give it a final rinse,blow dry,then pat dry with waffle weave towel.

This is just personal opinion but I think people get a little too carried away with the "possibility of marring.' I'm surprised people even take their cars to work for all the fine dust that blasts against the paint on the drive over.

:iagree:

Kris, you may like this article I found that describes some basic characteristics that are important in a car drying product – takes a very common sense approach.

How to Choose the Best Car Drying Cloth or Towel

I still find a natural chamois to be my go to drying cloth. I have used the absorber before, and though it was absorbent, but it lacks nap to pull dirt into the material and away from the paint when drying the car. Just my opinion of course, stick with whatever works for you.
