I'm just wondering what you guys use to dry your car. I have been using the leaf blower but I'm getting sick of all the little water marks it leaves. It's impossible to blow all the water off. I am looking for an alternative that won't leave surface scratches. I have heard cloth baby diapers work well. Any thoughts?

 

Cali Water Blade + The Absorber = Fast drying, and no water spots. Safe too!

I am a leaf blower-user as well. I do agree with you though that it isn't perfect, it does leave some water spots and doesn't completely dry the car, but it is good for removing the water from the nooks and crannies.

Anyway, after I have dried the car with the leaf blower, I spot dry my car with the Water Sprite (same thing as the Absorber) and then I wipe my car down with Z-6; this will help remove any spots that was caused by the leaf blower, plus it boosts the shine too!

Well it seems like you guys all love the absorber, but a few quick questions. Where can I get one, how much does it cost, and how many would it take to dry the car??? Thakns for your input.

Theres a car wash by my house and a long st road, so I wash the car and open her up and when I get home the entire car is dry..

Also when I get home,
I use Meguires Quick Detailer on the whole car!

 

Hey Geeterman, u can get an Absorber from Walmart or any Pep Boys, Autozone, Advance, etc. It only takes one for your car. Ive had mine for well over a year and use it very frequently. They run about $10 i think. Might wanna check Ebay.
