I used an Absorber for a while, but didn't like how I could only blot the water off. I've also used a CWB and think its a good process. However, lately I've been pooring buckets of water over the car to promote sheeting action, which removes most of the water. I then finish the car with a waffle weave microfiber towel. I've found this process to work the best, with the least chance of adding any friction to the paint.
