0 iiiJEFFiii Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I was just wondering the exact same thing about 5 minutes ago when I got finished drying my car. (Just sat down to take a break before I hit the car with the DS and I thought I'd check out the forum ). I havent gotten to order one of Adam's MF towels yet so I've been using my "Absorber". It seems to do a good job of picking up water, but I'm not too comfortable with dragging it across the paint because it seems to want to stick. Kinda anxious to hear what the pros think about it.

0 6spdg37s Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I have both as well actually 2 absorbers and 1 adams drying towel. Pretty much i think that without the weave shape it makes it easier to scratch the paint if it picks up a contaminent . i use one absorber on my wheels...other on the glass white weave towel on paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jjwvette Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Are you using a leaf blower to remove most of the water first or just using the towel? I never had this happen to me with the towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ExpressThis13 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 ive tried the absorber before without much issue. I don't have a waffle weave Adams towel but I do have a waffle weave towel that I bought at autozone a while ago and I like it alot better.

I use Absorbers on my dogs. Sucks the water right out of their fur. Also have used them on the boats and years ago on the cars but they always left a little something behind. When you're drying a 45 foot boat, towels are OUT of the question. When you're drying several big boats in a day then it's TOTALLY out of the question. The Absorber was my #1 choice.

0 Rich Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I use an absorber when my towel is dirty. Works fine on my black. I never noticed it scratching or streaking. But then again, I always follow up with detail spray...........never just dry and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bunky Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The risk of the Absorber is that it has no nap so if there was something on the paint it could get trapped and scratch. It is like the grit guard and all about reducing the chances for swirls. You can get safe washes without one. If you have a good wash / rinse technqiue then using an Clean Absorber is less risky.
