Get two! one in each hand. I quickly wipe our Ridgeline down once and then go back over to get spots off and it only takes a few minutes. Rinse often so not to scratch the paint or carry any dirt back onto the surface. These things work great!

Re: The Absorber

Add me to the list of Absorber fans. I had a friend use one a few years back when we were washing cars over beers. I've used it ever since.

I machine wash mine usually after each car wash, take it out of the washer and put it straight into the container so I'm ready for next time.

Re: The Absorber

Great little product. I've been using them for about 20 years now.....never had one get mildew yet. I've always rolled 'em up damp and placed them back in the tube.

Re: The Absorber

I use an absorber like product called AquaDry (from walmart). The benefit of the aquadry is that is has a waffle finish on one side to keep fine particles away from the vehicles surfaces which could cause swirls or scratching.

Re: The Absorber

I've used them forever as well. I did have one go "funky" on me in the tube, but I still store them wet in the tube and don't have any issues. I try to wash it down first before putting it away wet, seems to help. Not sure what I got on the one that went bad, but that's the only time I had one turn funky on me

Re: The Absorber

I also have been using the same one for the past 3 years. Great product.

Re: The Absorber

I picked one up last week based on the positive comments here on the ROC and used it this past weekend. It worked great, no towel lint and no water spots. Now I can save my micro fiber towels for the ICE products.
