No leaf blower for me, just an Absorber and Cali Water Blade...works great.

The highway at about 140 km/h. http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

Seriously. I am fortunate enough to have a mile and a half af straight highway with no police hiding spots on it.

When I get back in, I usually just have to towel off the rear bumper and rear winshield.

The Absorber kicks A$$!! I have a leaf blower, and used to use it, but since I purchased this, I don't fool with it.

It's almost as if the thing cleans itself!! http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

I always use a chamoise(!sp). Never had any problems with it scratching the surface of my cars http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

But I just purchased a Cali Duster. Works pretty good. I did let it sit for 48hrs on newspaper b4 using http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

I got my WBlade from Target for $20, but I think Wal-Mart and other similar stores carry them.

I got a cali waterblade at farm n fleet but i'm sure a lot of stores carry them. my only complaint about it is that it doesn't seem to be as easy to use on a camaro as it does other cars. with all the curves on the body its had to get it to work well, i guess i'm just really super peticular about the drying job. i prefer the absober i think its great.

I use the California Water Blade (Wal-Mart - $20) and a hand towel for those hard to reach places.
Oh and do you guys ever have a problem with water coming out from under the talights? I will have my car completely dry only to go back and "re-dry" where the water leaked out.

Gawd I hate that!!! I am glad I am not the only one who suffers this. Also, the turn signals in the front, they hold water as well.

I have always used a chamois for years with good results. I recently just got a absorber because of all the good things that I have heard about them but have not used it yet.
