Been using mine for years and not one problem.

Or use a leaf blower and blow dirt right back on.

I picked one of these up last week or so, and have been very pleased with it ..

The problem with using an absorber is the lack of nap. There is a potential to scratch that is minimized when using a Waffle Weave MF towel.

keep it in the shade... do it in morning or at night... the absorber sucks... leaves small scratches... i use the air hose at work or the leaf blower at my house...... it leaves such an amazing finish... but when i cant use that i usually use a microfiber towel....

Turn the Mr Clean Autodry to filtered water and no water spots. I like it but I still try to wash the car at dusk when there isn't a lot of sun. Having the car in the garage all day and then taking it out to wash it is so nice instead of having it outside all day baking then trying to wash it.
