MF = "Microfiber".

I usually use a steady stream of water from the hose to rinse most of the water off in sheets after i wash the car, and then "dot" a towel on the spots where theres still water. I also dry the car in the garage. This works pretty good for me. You just have to remember that anytime you touch your paint with anything that theres a chance for marring...

I saw the absorber this weekend and it's only 9 bucks now. I could swear I paid close to 20 bucks for mine back when I bought it!

Make sure you do a back-to-back comparison with a regular towel.

You need to do the test with the head mic attached like the dude in the infomercial.

Same here. I think they work great and don't dry out when not in use.
