Default The Absorber!!!

I've used a chamois my whole life for drying my cars. I was in Auto Zone today picking up some metal polish and saw The Absorber. I've heard people talking about it and my chamois is about shot so I picked one up. I figured for $9.99 is was worth the try. After using it to dry my Vette tonight all I can say is WOW! :eek: I love it. It dries much better than a chamois ever did for me. It left absolutely no water on my car and it takes far fewer passes to pick up the water. If it gets dirty, just throw it in the washing machine. I don't think I'll ever use a chamois again! :D

i've heard on previous posts that the Absorber tends to pick tiny particles in its pores that tend to scratch... :confused:
