The Absorber is amazing!  I have had mmine for since early 2003 and it still works as well as the day I bought it.  I wash two vehicle about every 3 weeks or so during the spring to fall seasons and there is not a sign of wear on it.  Best way to dry your car money can buy!  If it accidentally gets dirty, I throw it in the wash and it comes out ready to go again.  You can't go wrong!
