Default You need to keep it warm/hot....

I always used the absorber and as long as it stays warm, it works well.

I use one of those towels and it dries the entire car, but I sheet with water first so that helps

Default I use two. One to get the heavy water, and the second to do the final dry...

I also give it a quick mist of Adams QD over the whole car to aid in drying...

Default I used to use two also, but the sheeting works well. So what does adding QD do before drying?

I can't see it spreading well with the drying because I never press hard on the drying towel.

QD minimizes the water streaks left behind from a dano drying towel.

QD also extends the drying time of the car on hoter days.

In both cases, QD slows the evaporation of water off the car. Evaporation of water off the car will leave marks.

During my drying I use either ONR mixed with water (I use this for detail lub also), or Adam's QD.

I may have to try the QD drying trick one day to see if I like it, thanks.
