It works just like the absorber BUT the main reason i got it is that its not hard to move when drying a car, the absorber with "catch" on the paint making it hard to dry evenly.
I have been using the Absorber for years, but I never thought they worked that great often leaving thin water streaks. I recently started using Adam's Great White Microfiber Drying Towel and found they are much more effective at drying, especially on glass. No need to wring them out either ... they just hold the water. I typically use two towels to do a car wash.
