Basically the same thing as an "Absorber".

Default i use:

A cali water blade and a single absorber. Sometimes i can finish up with a regular MF rather than the absorber. I recommend getting the 11" blade rather than the full-size one. We dont have too many flat surfaces, but it still makes the drying process much quicker. Maybe not as quick as the Mr. Clean autodry, but this beats having to buy extra filters every so often.

I use an electric leaf blower. It gets all the water out of the crevices, and is great for the wheels. I wipe off any remaining droplets with a microfiber towel (available at Griot's).

Had my car A-Glazed inside and out (cost 300). They sent me some shampoo/wax stuff and it cleans the car beautifully (insects just wipe off!!). Virtually no bubbles and resulting surface tension helps water run off the car.

I've just invested in a cheap microfibre cloth (about 2.95) and it removes the remaining water droplets. Wring it out and move to the next panel. Showroom finish - Highly recommended.
