Best way to dry your car is blowing air at it. After that use a microfiber drying towel for whatever wet spots are left.
If blowing air is not an option, then use a microfiber drying towel to dry the whole car.
I have used the absorber, mentioned here, and yes it is a good option but you need to make sure you clean it after each use, as it is very prone to catching dirt and damaging/scratching your paint.
