Made of a unique material called PVA (poly vinyl alcohol), The Absorber® is vastly superior to a terrycloth towel and leather chamois. A uniform, sponge-like pore structure enhances capillary action, giving The Absorber® drying capabilities no other product can match. While The Absorber® is unmatched as the best drying tool for cars and automobiles on the market, but it also can be used to cool your skin after a workout and even drying off your dog after a bath! With proper care, The Absorber® lasts for years and can be stored moist and ready to use its handy tube.
