I use "The absorber" it works great. If you have a leaf blower you can use that too.

Waffle Weave microfibers, hold gallons of water, and will only take one pass to get all the water off the car.

+1
They are kinda expensive, I payed like $25 for 2 towels, but they won't leave scratches like terry cloth towels or the "water blades".
Also, like others said, a leaf blower works even better. The less rubbing on your finish, the better. I would say use the leaf blower, then follow with a waffle weave microfiber for best results.

Absorber does a good job of dragging dirt over your car, it has nowhere for the dirt to hide, waffle weaves own.
