Here is a great how to video from Adams.
The whole series is great.
The products they sell are top notch.

FYI all of Adams products are just rebranded from Chemical Guys...go with Chemical guys...it's the same exact thing and a whole lot cheaper and CG has a lot more products to offer.

Try blot drying with 1 - 2 of the DI Microfiber Waffle Weave Drying Towel. It's a very soft and paint safe towel that is super absorbent.

Your buddy is destroying his paint. The Absorber is one of the worst products ever for paint. While it soaks up water just fine it also does an exceptional job of NOT picking up any left over particles so it ends up just dragging them over the paint and causing major marring and more damage to the paint than there was before.
Don't ever use the absorber, it's a POS product

Thanks to the advice in this thread I picked up a huge waffle weave towel from O Reillys for $9.99 and it works so much better than a chamois which I have been using. I also picked up a mothers power ball thing for waxing and I love the results.

Yes, I would like to thank everyone as well as your posts have been extremely helpful to me. It's been a number of years since I last owned a black car and now I remember why I said "never again"! 
Really, I do love black - but man, hard to keep it clean. I also picked up a couple of waffle towels and they made a huge difference.
I am going to have to post a separate question about some scratches on my hood. While they are not deep (fingernail doesn't hit them) they won't come out using McGuires Scratch-X. I may have to have them professionally removed.

I see differing opinions on how to dry. When using a waffle weave microfiber towel, is it better to blot only, or to get the towel damp and "wick" the water off (e.g. "drag" the towel).
