I, too, have heard they work great but all my cars are DARK so I wouldn't go near them with that. Maybe with the silver or white I would consider it. I started using microfiber towels to dry and they are ok... you just have to make lots of passesLevitron said:Oh yeah....I've seen those "blades" that you can get. My friend swears by it. But I'm highly doubtful that it's THAT great.
I know, I bought one too. Freaking waste of 20$-I guess I'm not strong enough to wring them out. I just use high quality bathroom towels that have passed the prime of their bathroom time.Levitron said:What do you use?
I have great difficulty using a sheepskin chamois......it doesn't dry like I expect it to!

I also use an Absorber; it works very well, and fairly easy to wring out. I use a cotton towel(s) for the wheels, and door/trunk/hood jambs.funkyfreshmonke said:i use the absorber great stuff! dries it quickly...but i want to try that mr. clean hahaha dont even have to wipe to dry it!

heh. i don't even know why i'm so interested in this. I dont' have a house, so i don't i know when the next time i actually will wash the car myself will be.DRY weight
The Absorber - 6.2 ounces
Big Blue - 7.7 ounces
WET weight
The Absorber - 13.70 ounces
Big Blue - 35.50 ounces
Weight of water absorbed:
The Absorber - 8.4 ounces
Big Blue - 27.80 ounces
"Absorbtion factor"
The Absorber - 1.35x absorbency by weight
Big Blue - 3.61x absorbency by weight
If you do the math - the Big Blue towel absorbed OVER ONE LITER of water!!! Case closed.
