I mean it's not too bulky to use or wring out. but I couldn't get any water to leave the towel. it didn't effect drying the truck but how is everyone drying the towel ? are you guy's washing the towel after every car wash ? or just letting it hang on the line for a couple of days. it really works good, I just don't like leaving it hanging around the garage for a couple of days before I can put it away. the large size is fine but am thinking about a smaller one for touch ups. nice going Griots, love the towel.

I always cycle my towels.

However if any towel can be hung out to dry and re use it is the pfm.

If your car has perfection showroom paint, it is wise to cycle towels. If you do let it sit to dry the water can make the fibers slightly harder, however once wet they will get soft again and like you said above it is great at absorbing water.

Like I always say give a car the respect it deserves. If it's a clean car and in great paint condition I will use quality towels.

If im working on a daily driver that is been driven hard and the owner really does not care about polishing and swirls, I will use my cheap towels. Because I do not want to contaminate my good towels.

Doesn't make sense to use $100 dollar shoe polish on a $5 pair of shoes.

I've come so close to buying this towel so many different times now.

Just noticed yesterday that they have them at AA. They didn't have the price listed on the rack and I forgot to grab one and take it up to the register after I grabbed some oil.

There usually 11.99 for 1 22.99 for a 2 pack.

Waiting for a order from ag would be wiser , as you can get a discount code on your entire order.,

I'm using Tapatalk if someone can embed the video thank you.

I will be doing a full through review soon on how it

Removes polish
Drys
Wax removal

I already use it above with detail spray.

In my opinion this really is the best microfiber towel you can buy, it's the ideal towel for detail spray.

i use it for detail spray too. it is a nice towel but not the best. its overly thick to work with and its not the smoothest over the paint

The unique blend of the towel does a fantastic job to ensure a streak free finish.

However I see your paint about a quality product, however what would you consider a "non quality" detail spray so I can perform the test as well ?

Another reason why I feel the towel has alot to do with it because it's a fantastic and I think to be the best drying towel I have ever used. (That's my opinion, and subjective) however alot of people do agree it's a a1 drying towel.

On car just washed, I can make a pass and get that same evaporating streak free finish. It even does a fantastic job on not so well maintained cars.

I will be doing a full review soon, I was recording a vlog of me doing that bmw and was doing a final wipedown , so instead of just adding it in a long video I decided to make it a dedicated video.

Have you tried the pfm yet ? Try it its not a ordinary towel.

have you ever used the cobra guzzler gold waffle weave or the regular guzzler waffle weave? in my opinion they are far better drying towels. the gg pfm is better as a quik detail towel i think

Are we talking about the same towel from AG that's $40??

The PFM terry weave towels are great and very versatile. The 16x16 2-packs are the most popular size, but the larger drying towel uses the same terry weave microfiber material.

I see that Griots has now reduced the price of the 2-pack 16x16 towels to $19.99 on their website and in their catalog (down from $22.99), so when purchasing through AG don't forget to price match and "stack" your discounts when AG is running a sale!
