absorber is not bad, but youll still get swirl marks. check out adam's drying towels. 3 of them will do ur entire car (each of the 3 would have a different level of wetness)

Are you looking to get water spot free results from a hand wash? After you wash and rinse your car, use a leaf blower to remove 95% of the remaining water and then follow up with a good quality micro fiber towel.
I would divide the car into 4 sections and do the complete process on each section before moving on to the next section. As you blow dry each section, make sure you blow all of the water out of the body panel seams. Here is the process I used, working from the top to the bottom.

- Top and all glass - wash, rinse, blow dry, micro fiber towel.
- 1st side and front hood and bumper - wash, rinse, blow dry, micro fiber towel.
- 2nd side and rear deck lid and bumper - wash, rinse, blow dry, micro fiber towel. Open the rear deck lid and blow the water out of the engine compartment. This also lets the water drain from the deck lid.
- Wheels & tires - wash, rinse, blow dry, micro fiber towel.

To prevent water form the engine bay and not get water spots on plastic pieces, I put a big plastic bag over the engine(under the lid) and close the lid. Pull it out carefully/slowly after wash cause it have lots of water.
DO NOT forget to remove it before you start the engine
