forget it. It removes wax... Get a Microfiber waffle weave towels instead. Something high quality, not OTC.

I don't like the absorber at all. I do have a Water Sprite that I got from CG.

I also have a Vroom WW chamois that I like quite a bit.

I use those, with a MF WW for the final dry.

How would it remove wax? Doesn't it just absorb the water?

It feels like 100 suction cups holding it back...my brother keeps using it, he likes it, I don't...and washes his black Maxima twice a week with Megs NXT car wash...

I graduated from the absorber a while back. After I've used a waffle weave microfiber, I've never gone back to the absorber plus there's no nap, so if there was a chance of any small grit sitting on the surface you're about to dry, where would it go? Across your clear coat =X

mf towels are the only way to go, stick to the larger waffle weave. Save time and your paint
