Use a microfiber towel. You can get a big one at target for only like 8 bucks. Always make sure the towel is clean. I heard the california blade scratches your paint

A trick that we use for detailing is to take a flower watering pale, and pour it on the car panel by panel. Believe it or not, this really sheets off the water and makes it much easier to dry.

go to costco.you can get a wash mit/towel combo for like 9$.it has huge micro fiber towels.then buy the 36 pak of 16"x16" towels for polishing/waxing.

Thanks for the input peeps! I used the microfiber towels from Costco and they work SWEET. They're nice and thick and absorb really well. I found that the absorber felt like rubber when it was wet and didnt actually GRAB the water.

Thanks again!

Yeah I had the same problem with my absorber. It didnt really dry the car right? Doesnt make the car feel smooth like a microfiber towel does afterwards
