I never use micro fibre. I hate them. I use a CLEAN wash mit to wash the car and the "Californian Car Dryer" to dry the car. Then I use my quick detailer spray and wipe that off with a terry towel. I don't use mirco fibre because it doesn't absorb anything and it just pushes the quick detailer around and it dry onto the car and looks like ****.

I use an electric yard blower for the crevices and lower part of the SS/SC body kit. The Absorber for everything else!

Are you sure you are not talking about a chamios cloth? A microfibre DRYING towel is hella absorbant. THe towels I use can hold over 15 times their weight on liquid. When they get wet, you just wring them out and they are good to go again. The water blade is great...but make sure it is clean as you will marr the hell out of your paint if you get even the slightest bit of dirt caught in it.

Microfiber is so much better than terry towels. They're pretty cheap too!

Yes the Absorber does work wonders! I've been using them since before I had my first car. I used to detail before I could drive.
