best way to dry the car after washing?

BTW, where ear plugs when using one of these. The noise is quite deafening. Also, duct tape the black nozzle pipe to the body of the blower. 195 mph wind and vibration can rattle that thing loose. And it works much better if the car is waxed or shined up periodically. I do Zaino mine twice a year.

Everybody brags about big blue but IMO it's just OK . I use the California blade followed by the absorber. If I still have some moisture I'll finish with big blue. I have turned against big blue because IMO again it is not that absorbant. I have MORE sucess removing water by dragging the absorber across the car than dragging a big blue. I have tried everything (Wunderwashce, vinegar... etc) to restore some absorbancy but to no avail

The Absorber is the only product I have found that works as advertised. I cut it in two and work around the car, with both hands, from top to bottom, until dry.
These things take a beating without any degradation.

twice a year? LOL. dude. i zaino my car, every other sunday.
Every 2nd Sunday is a bit overkill. For me, it's a daily driver and it's really just a car. I drive it through rain, sleet, snow, mud, gravel, dirt. I have Silverstone and after I "clean it up" in the spring, you'd never know that it was over 4 years old. Zaino it and wax it as much as you like if it makes you feel good but it really isn't necessary. True, it gets shinier the more coats you put on but it's well known that after about 8 to 10 coats, it doesn't get any better and you're doing it for the owner's "medicinal" purposes.
BTW, Zaino isn't "wax".
