I have used the Absorber for years and I like that they can be kept moist in the case so they are ready to use.  I used to use a chamois, but had to let it try after using it and it would be come very hard. When I'm done with the Absorber, I wring it out, roll it up and put it back into the storage tube.  I leave it under the front seat and it never gets moldy or odd-smelling.  I use it with a single bucket of water -- I dunk the absorber into the bucket, slosh on the water to clean it off, then I rinse off the absorber again, wring it out and dry off the car.  Rinse and repeat.  Leaves very few streaks and has a "grip" that helps clean and dry at the same time.
