My son inquired about above...whether I had seen anything on this on this forum.
He saw it on Amazon. It appears to be a Chamois/towel combo???

These? The absorber?

I use these all the time!

My method:
1. rinse car
2. Foam cannon
3. Two bucket method
4. Rinse
5. California blade with absorber and air compressor to dry.
6. Kenotek

If you are asking about the Absorber, I have one that is probably 4 years old. Still works great. Like brettmess24, I use a California blade after final rinse to get rid of most of the water. The Absorber gets the rest, and I follow up with EGO cordless blower.

Believe it or not, I've had 2 ABSORBERS since I was given them at a "Detailing How-To" class at Bloomington Gold in 1992....no kidding ! They still work fine....long as you keep damp for use. Great invention....functions just like an expensive "real" natural Chamois.

I was purchasing a 1967 Corvette, and this was the 25th anniversary of the '67 Corvette at Bloomington (last event actually at Bloomington, Illinois, I believe).

Trivia.......

I never touch my car to dry it, especially with a towel or chamois. Started with an electric leaf blower and moved this year to a Master Blaster Sidekick. Gets everything out of the cracks and traps and leaves the car perfectly dry.
