Post Any tips on using the absorber or a water blade?

Are there any tips on using the Absorber and Water Blade as a "couple"? I got them both for Xmas and was just curious. Is the absorber OK to use on glass, or will it sreak?

just be sure to keep wiping the edge of the water blade with a nice clean soft towel, or even your nice clean fingers.

this way, if something bad gets there, its gone fast. its what i do, and seems to make me feel better

It's a little on the cold side right now, you should use a electric leaf blower to get most of the water off and use the absorber to get the rest of the water off of the car.

Just my .02
