Now i use that for my main wiping and it does fantastic but you cannot get everywhere with it, so i use the absorber for the rest of the cracks, corners, mirrors and bumpers.

Non-waffle microfiber towel and after it's sat for about an hour I'll go back over the whole truck with Meguiars quick detail spray and another microfiber towel to get every last water spot on the truck.

Works fine for me, just don't wash in direct sunlight or it will dry too fast and leave a haze. The soap kinda works like Cascade or Jet Dry to keep the water from beading too much and the filter removes tap water deposits that leave mineral spots.
I like it.

I have a shop-vac that has a leaf blower attachment. After I wash my truck I use that to get all the water out from the door handles, tail gate handle, mirrors and any other hard to reach place. Once that is done, I use my Adam's Detail Spray to spray a quarter of the truck. I then go back and wipe it down with a good micro fiber towel. Make sure you use a good "Fluffy" micro-fiber towels. If you don't you will create swirls and spider webbing.
