Can a drying towel be too large

[chefwong]

Doing some organization/shuffling...I have some XXXL Eagle Edgeless I was using before the PFM came along.
The original PFM was my main drying for quite some time.
Then came along the XL PFM drying

I mainly blow dry and then blot with a small MF.

If it's really early in the morning and I can't run the blower, then I will towel dry and use a XL PFM.
In the daily use bin is 2 XL PFM and 1 original sized PFM drying towel
I cannot think of the last time I went to grab the smaller original PFM drying towel

Decision time. In the *go to attic bin is 2 XL PFM and 3 Original sized PFM*

Is there any reason to keep the 1 Original Sized PFM easily available.
There are times I wouldn't mind using a smaller one when doing a full towel dry on the VERT panels, but the XL is my main go to as it soaks up the hood, roof and widows in a hot second.
I can't see a reason to keep one smaller drying PFM on hand but maybe someone here has some sage wise advice.

Only thing more useless to me then oversized Drying Towels are Heavy Duty garden hoses.
Both burn too much energy to use imo

I used to have a ridiculously large waffle weave drying towel. Thing was like 45”x65” or something like that. Super large… I took it for granted and let it sit out in the backyard in a bucket of water for over a month and it grew mold and I had to throw it away. To this day I cannot find another towel that large and I miss that towel. That thing could literally dry a 40’ RV damn near by itself.

I had one of those. Took 2 people to wring out

I never saw a situation where it needed wringing out because there was never a vehicle it couldn’t handle. Lol.

It was like the size of a womans bath towel. Why did the Chinese stop selling it?

IMO, no.

I really love having the XL PFM when drying my truck. And I still have and use the original PFM.

I also have 2 16x16 PFM's for dedicated wheel drying.

I've gone to using the 16x16 PFMs almost exclusively. After blowing the car dry with my EGO, 1 of those is enough to dry my car.

There is a point where they can get too large! Just wait till you throw it in the washer to be washed. Then it throws your washer around like a tin can from the size and weight of it!! I currently use the Rag co. Gauntlet 20" x 30" Like the size. And miminal problems washing them.

I just fold my large carpro towel in 4's for most of the car. I like the large towel a lot better than the small ones. I have a small gyeon silk dryer too.

Its 70 cm x 100 cm

10 cm is ~4 inches.

So 28 inch x 40 inch. Excellent size for my mid sized car.

I think there is a point of diminishing returns. I have two of the original PFMs and 6 or 8 of the 16x16 (got them at a great price at Pep Boys). The large ones are nice for my tundra and the wife's Yukon, but only really for the roof and hood. They are more than large enough for those. Using the big ones on the vertical panels, you run the risk of them touching the ground. Battery powered leaf blower for the rest....followed up by the 16x16 for touch ups.
