    What size ? I guess Extra Large is obviously the one to get. I have the one from TRC, not bad, but want to try PFM. Price is ouch though.

    I have the XL, the large, and 6 smaller ones.

    I agree on the prices being a little "ouch". But the PFM's are worth every cent, and you will have them for many years if you take care of them.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Re: Drying towels

    I like the larger ones for bucket washes or horizontal panels and the small ones (16x16) for rinseless washes or drying areas closer to the ground.

    Re: Drying towels

    Up here in Canada Carzilla is the go-to for the most brands, great people too. Anyway, I have been buying Detail Popo microfiber rags (or small towels I guess you could say) from them and saw they had drying towels also. Bought some and they are very nice, lots of weight to them. Not sure how they compare to big brand names, but Detail Popo are priced cheaper than most of them. I do still use my blower alot though, lol.

    I did the same here. I was able to buy two DP 1400GSM Twisted Rain towels for ~$19CDN less then the price of one the Griots PFM (I could have literally gotten three DP ones for the same price!) I just couldn't accept spending $56-63CDN on a drying towel :/ I can do my whole car with one DP towel, and use the second for final drying of all the nooks and crannies...

    Re: Drying towels

    Not sure what brand I picked up at Wally World for $4.99 each, but I managed to dry an entire car with one a few days ago & didn't wring it out until I was done.

    TGC the double twisters or the twist n’shout drying towels.


    Thanks

    The Double Twistress is really nice.

    I have some of their waffle weave, but usually use Eagle Edgeless to wipe off the ONR, followed by TRC terry weave. The Double Twistress might be my new final wipe towel.
