The water runs off when I wash mine. Maybe you have to much air in your rear tires. :lol:

I don't use sham-wow, but they have similar products in the car wash section of Target.  I use the water absorbing towels to dry off the entire car.  The heat in the south will dry the water so fast and leave residue all over your car if you don't dry it yourself.  Personally I think they are worth the money, because they last forever if you keep them moist inside the plastic container they come in.

What would you consider a proper adapter? I just use an air gun to get most of the water off and then get the balance with a waffle weave towel.

I have some crazy hard water out here in the country so I use the Mr. Clean AutoDry Car Wash!  Then I have a couple of chamois to pull off any remaining water.  Then use the air compressor around the lights & such. 

Now that our snow is gone I have taken her out but everything has turned to mud!  It's sad....but I hear spring is coming!   :woohoo:
