I use Micro Fiber drying towels, I know everyone like's cotton towles but after owning 5 black cars after you wash and reuse them they leave swirl marks, after using thre microfiber ones, I have had better luck and no swirl marks.

I use The Absorber - it's like a synthetic chamois and works great.

i use the absorber as well... works wonders...

another thing you can do that helps with drying... when rinsing the soap off i first rinse with the standard spray nozzle with a decent amount of pressure... after the initial rinse, i then remove the spray nozzle off and let the water flow straight from the hose onto the car... the sheeting action leaves fewer water spots do deal with...

hope this helps...
