... I use an absorber towel for drying...
I take it you are using the "sheeting effect" first when drying, yes?

That'll go a long way to helping you remove the most water from the surface before you ever get started.
Then you should use a drying agent/helper/spray wax like Megs 156 or DG 951. Just do a light spritz on the water that's left after your rinse and then move to drying.
Now...You really need to get a drying towel.
Three options
- Thick and plush (as in 800~850 gsm) Korean units like those from Microfiber Tech or The Rag Company (both of theirs are white). Also Duragloss has a pair of EXCELLENT polish & drying towels that are dual sided, super plush, sort of a blonde towel (although they are a bit pricy).
- Dedicated "Waffle Weave" drying towels again from one of the above. OR a 3-pack of the Cobra (foam core) Guzzler
- Grab a whole stack of 530gsm towels like those from Microfiber Tech!
Also, don't wipe when drying. Lay your towel flat, use your open hand (or both hands) and gently pat (and can lightly rub) the back of the towel. It's the only way to avoid, or at least mitigate..... RIDS, scratches and swirls when drying.
I mentioned the 530gsm towels (
really like the ones from Microfiber Tech) because you can use a BUNCH of them, a dozen or more, and they will help quite a bit. They are small enough (16"X16") to where you can work with them, cheap enough to where you can use a LOT of them, thick enough to absorb well, and SOFT enough to where you can actually wipe with them (as you would when removing your LSP).
They are not as soft as the 800 & 850 split weave Korean towels mentioned above, or the Duragloss units (not as expensive either). Where these (Korean & Duragloss) units really work though is they are as soft as you'll get. They'll suck up a ton of water, and you'll likely never see any damage from them.
Either way.... 1, 2, or 3 the Absorber MUST GO!
