Default Best drying cloth?

I tried a shamwow which was nothing but junk. Then I bought The Absorber which actually works pretty well. Anything better than The Absorber?

If I may suggest our Great White Waffle Microfiber Drying Towel.

Super thirsty and absorbent, guaranteed not to scratch or swirl up your finish (unlike the shamwow or absorber) and also backed with a 110% satisfaction guarantee... buy it. If you don't like it we'll refund your purchase price +10%!!

You may want to try a Water Sprite. They are sometimes a little hard to locate, usually not at wal-mart or target, but, sometimes you can find them at Napa or you may have to order one from a detail supply co. You wont be disappointed. have used them all over the years, and this is the best i have found...

+1 for Adams Great White Waffle Microfiber Drying Towel! I love them! I use them on my Black car all the time with no scratching. The best thing to use after youve spent hours polishing your paint and you dont want to swirl it up all over again.

I have been using an Absorber for several years and would recommend it.

Thumbs up

Micro fiber waffle weave, kept clean works the best. All those fake neon colored chamois like cloths are junk, tried them all BUT in all actuality the best thing to use is electric leaf blower or compressed filtered air, then follow up w/waffle weave.

I use target microfiber towels. Yeah I know cheap, but they work great. Leave no light scratchs like bath towels, which is great cuz mine is a hardtop. Solid black top.

Ha, a leaf blower - sounds wierd but makes a lot of sense
I think I'll stick with the Absorber for now since it does a pretty good job, but I am interested in that waffle microfiber from Adams. I'll get one soon to try out, thanks!

The absorber works well if you use it properly.

After each swipe, ensure it's still clean or when folding give it a quick glance.

I use them on big vehicles and then follow up with my Water Magnet Waffle Weave to leave them perfectly clean.

When you store it, leave a little bit of fresh water in the absorber and roll it up and store it back in the case it came in. It will last you a long time if you take care of them.
