    Wal-Mart Products Cheaper

    For simple things, like tire wet, The Absorber, and some other things, Wal-Mart is cheaper than auto stores. Today I bought The Absorber, and they are 2 dollars cheaper at Wal-Mart.



    Is The Absorber a good chamois?

    Turtle Wax is 2.50 at Target and 5.00 at a small, local store. And I hear good things about "The Absorber" How much was it? How big?

    I`ve been using Absorbers for a couple of years now. I bought them at WalMart. They work fine, as long as you are careful. Personally, I use the waterblade, and then blot out the remains with an Absorber.

    I have both of those items, I stopped using them because I feel there is too much opportunity for marring the paint, even if the CWB blade is clean you could accidently drop the handle on the paint and the Absorber, doesn`t really get the paint substantially dry even with wringing, using a high quality wash and sheeting it off without the hose nozzle gets it drier for me. I also don`t like the idea of pushing a rubber towel across my paint. To dry standing water ww mfs seem safest for me. Just my humble opinion and as always, YMMV
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    IMHO Jellyrolls, I would rather use multiple cotton towels than the Absorber if you don`t have high quality ww mfs. But again, stickwith what works for you and YMMV
