So when you drive 80+ MPH on the highway there’s never any dust or dirt that hits the car ?

Shawn, don't bother. You'll never convince them. The best part about using the blower is getting the water out of the wheels and between the hood and front windshield. Works great.

TRUE…..TRUE….
Scooter’s just so much fun to pick on though.

My favorite area's are those pesky side mirrors, door handles & gas filler door.
All dry and ZERO drips when you’re done with the blow dry.

my current drying technique(stopped using absorber) involves sheeting the water off with the hose and then using the water blade to get as much water off as i can, then going over the car with a big microfiber waffle weave towel. I can wash and dry a car in about 15 minutes.

Just make sure u completely washed the car clean and dont do it on a windy day with dust everywhere.

Why is this hard to believe?
It takes me about 20-minutes, but the car is completely dry when I’m done.

The color on the Absorber won't cause any harm.
