I used to use a real chamois - always had good results just letting it hang to dry. Lasted a couple years.
I presentl yuse a water blade -and whil ei do sell the Absorber, havent become a fan of how it feels. They work great, and you put them away damp in the tube - but it just feels funny to me. Im a cotton towel and blade guy for now . . even on customer cars Ill use the blade (yea, black ones too)

OH, NO! Don't let the owners of black see this. They'll shit a brick!

funny thing - both are new vettes . . .
spotless and pure when i was done . . .

I LOVE doing those cars, each spring and fall, i look forward to it

so then using a blade is bad if you have a black car?

NOT if you believe Homer2 or me for that matter. When used properly, the "blade" will do no damage. The "possible" problem exists when a speck of grit gets dragged along the front edge of the blade and causes a light scratch. And any kind of scratch will show immediately on a black car. So if you are worried or paranoid or will lose sleep over it, it's not worth it.

I use the blade every once in a while on my black paint w/o any problems.I just make sure I wipe the edge of the blade off after each swipe across the surface.
