Post bought an abosber... couple questions...

Okay picked up an abosber today and washed the car, it seemed to pick up the water pretty well but it would still leave slight water streaks mainly on the windows, am I doing something wrong, does this happen to you guys? just wondering thanks for any input

Yep, that's normal for the Absorber. Mine usually leaves tiny rows of droplets on glass that it just will not pick up. A quick pass with a cotton or microfiber towel or glass cleaner cleans up the leftovers nicely. Nothing to really worry about though...

Me too.

Like Mike suggests, clean up the rest with a cotton towel. That seems to be the best way to pick up the remaining spots.

mine also leaves small streaks. A microfibre towel and some Eagle One WET wipe & shine after it's dry takes care of any streaks.

Keep using your absorber, it will get better with time. Mine used to do that but no longer does. I have had it for 3-4 months.
