For a convertible in the pacific northwest, this is almost a must have. I'd rather not leave the softtop wet after pulling into the garage. My Audi A4's softtop is not exactly small, so it takes at least 2 big towels to dry the top. This product not only makes it easy and quick, it's very easy to clean too. I need something that absorbs fast without any rubbing that wears the softtop protectant faster. Plus it works for drying the car in a self car wash.
