Normally just the Absorber, but sometimes the added help of a leaf blower and/or air house to get in the cracks, sometimes even good paper towels to slide inside the mirrors.

I use the leafblower and it gets every bit of the water of as long as its zainoed up good, plus I wash with just water and no soap so the zaino never loses its slickness. only time I wash with soap is if it realy filthy.

Re: How do you dry your car?

Another vote for the absorber. I do the main body first, then the door jambs and hood/trunk jambs followed lastly by the wheels, rocker panels and wheelwells.

Throw it in the wash machine and it is ready for the next wash, just dont use any detergent on it.

I then use a california duster between washes. the car looks great.
