Default absorber
Is the absorber safe on cars when drying? What are other methods or possible methods that dont do any harm?

I personally use the absorber and I like it. I have no problems with it, no swirl marks or scratches of any kind. You could also squeegy your car.

I had a bad experience with the absorber a few years back. Something must have gotten trapped in it and it scratched my paint. I'll stick with the microfiber towels.

i think the absorber works great, i always run it through the washer machine after each use that way no dirt or any rough particles get trapped in it. just don't dry it.

I "loaned" an absorber to a supposed friend - never got it back. Bought a new one.

i just got the absorber a few weeks ago at a walmart, and so far so good, feels a little weird though but it works pretty well for a quick dry

Me too. If you're going to use one, keep it REALLY clean.
