Best 11 bucks i ever spent!!!!!!!!! For those of you guys that like keeping your car clean, which i hope is most of you.....I just bought a cloth that feels rubberish actually at kragen, called 'the absorber'....idk how many of you guys came across it, but it works really good, pretty much like the leather ones but better, but i see it lasting much longer

Keep em clean gentlemen, i know the ladies do ;)

[SochBAT]

You live in a cave, don't you?

But seriously, The Absorber means business.

[lilredstiffy]

The absorber is a great tool for cleaning up messes and drying cars.

[ThatGuy]

WOW! These things have been around since at least the 90's kids. :duh:

[kandyflip445]

Water Blade+Absorber=30 sec. dry car

:bigok:

[S13SilviaGirl]

WOW! These things have been around since at least the 90's kids. :duh:

try 80's...I used to use them at my swim meets....:keke: They were originally marketed for the atheletes... But they work great for the car too

[ThatGuy]

^Yeah, I knew it was something like that Lisa. I just never expected to hear kids talking like they are the newest thing on the market when it's almost 2008! :rofl:

[grassrootsnissan]

^definitely the 80s. i found one in the garage cleaning up the other day from from 1985. Made in Japan, its gotta be good.

[jdmspooge]

hahaha, I used to use a Ryobi Air Blower to dry off my car until I bought an Absorber in 99. Still works awesome! Kudos to the space age inventors.

Oh, and the water blade is the shit too like mentioned earlier! Hella quick...but only good on nice paint.

[smellslikecurry]

[motorsnail]

[BustedS13]

[PhAtXSuMo]

The Absorber is the best creation ever for a car! better than that stupid auto dry shit that didnt work

[eli_eli]

[burnsauto]

i just use a leaf blower.

...do you really? lol

[SOCAL240]

yes truly amazing i used to use the other cloths (the brwn ones) idk what theyre called but yeah tehy usually left some of the cloth behind and once i found the "ABSORBER" i was like oh shit thats a badass name it must be badass too ...lmfao nah jk but yeah that shit works wonders had to go back the same day and get another one
i rock the blue one :]

[kensreliableb18b]

absorber is old stuff
hardcore people use leaf blowers; you can also use those waffle cloths

[Z33dori]

i got mine for 8 bucks

[Kaizen.]

Make sure you wash it in warm/hot water, it gets all the grease stains out. Also store it moist in the container so it doesn't get all cracked because it'll dry up bad.

[s14xman]

absorber is amteur and not good for paint, for best drying with minimal micro maring use, compessed air or leaf blower followed by waffle weave drying towel

[Chrischeezer]

I found this new thing called gasoline, Yo, i put it in my fuel tank and my car drives, its craziness! u have to try it!

the absorber works well, but your car has to have a good amount of wax on it, so u don't harm the paint.

[kandyflip445]

It won't put swirls in your paint unless you aren't cleaning your car right, or you're using a dirty drying towel (absorber)/water blade.

Used the 2 bucket method. Works wonders. ;)

[smellslikecurry]

you can swirl it


wind blows particles onto the water and then your fucked


even dust can scratch your car.

[!Zar!]

Best $11 I ever spent was in the redlight district...

[BustedS13]

...do you really? lol

yup. just a plugin toro leaf blower. i found it at a garage sale for 20 bucks, totally worth it. blasts all the water out of the crevices.

[mrmephistopheles]

Holy shit dumb thread alert.
