So what's your opinion on using something like the Absorber after a wash to dry (there shouldn't be much dirt to grind in)? I am going to assume your "less touching of the paint is better" will be your answer. I have a compressor in the garage with an air blowing attachement but I never use it for that purpose.

Hey, I missed this question. I would use a short nap drying towel to dry with, not those big bulky things like the Absorber. The short nap towels suck up a lot of water and easily wring out, but the main thing that they don't do is streak. If I had to dry a lot of water off the car by hand, that's what I would use.

The paint correction process is described in detail within this thread.

Thank you much for the recommendations!

Hey Junkman - Interesting info.

And, being in the defense industry, I got a big laugh out of your tag line! Semper Fi!

That would be a quick way to end up in a white jacket in my neighborhood!

The reason I do most of my demos with Adam's products is because the line is extremely simple and for a novice, they won't get lost in the choice of products. Their line fits a majority of the paint issues that you will see today which makes it ideal for a novice who just quit using the drive through car wash.

It is totally a mindset. The way you have worded your post has a feel to it that you have accepted your paints condition as a way of life. Yet, you understand that my techniques will severely limit more paint damage. You're 50% of the way there in your understanding which is why you can't see the brutality of using something like the Swiffer on your paint.

It would take you completely correcting your paint for this to sink in. Right now, you can't see the damage it does because of the damage already on your paint. If your paint was corrected, you would see the damage began to show up over multiple uses of a device like that. Every time you touch your paint, you risk the opportunity to damage it. That's why you limit the touching of the paint as much as possible, and then use the proper products when you do.

You're at the edge of the pool. We just need to push you in.

I'm still confused after reading your response. Is it OK or NOT OK to use the California dusters? I'm thinking you're implying that it's NOT OK?

It's perfectly fine if you use it correctly. Did you watch the videos in the very first post of this thread?
