How to revive microfiber drying towels?

[Coatingsarecrack]

Ok hold the verdict..... Because I’m not so convinced my PFM should perform the way it did earlier today. Last I checked they’re supposed to dry off a panel in 1 swipe or even 1 pat down, right?
Well my PFM was taking about 4-5 wipes and even then the panels weren’t bone dry.

I was drying a vehicle after a bucket wash that I had polished 1.5 days prior in order to prep it for lsp, so bare paint, but regardless I don’t recall PFM towels performing that poorly.... So I’m officially on the fence until further testing.

Fyi, there was no humidity at the time. If anything I was drying the vehicle in direct sunlight but it was only 65 degrees outside.

Yeah that’s why I asked i had streaking on panels also but temps were sub 40. I thought it might have been that. I’m going to test my 16x16 vs my 28x20 when i get some warmer weather

Ok I just did a quick test.
I washed my hood & trunklid, rinsed, sheeted, then grabbed 1 of my large glass waffle weaves that were still clean from my previous wash with 3D Towel Kleen and used it to dry.

Then I sheeted the panels again and grabbed the same large PFM that I had put in the dryer for 15min. and hung up and allowed to cool.

The PFM clearly outperformed the waffle weave... Could it be we’re setting our standards too high? I dunno, I’m still feeling somewhat inconclusive, but like I said, it did do much better than the waffle weave, which was a surprise to me.

It's not a surprise to me. I demoted all my WWs to glass and other duties once I got the PFM. Waffle weaves, at least for me, are now archaic towels of the past when it comes to drying

Nah the just show on their video that a towel that was completely hydrophobic and pushed water around dried a panel in the drag method after soak and a wash.

I just expect it to make my drying towels perform better per video. My panels were super cold so i kept it as inconclusive because other towels weren’t drying any better...

Ooo... Nice. I only have the gallon of it so a dispenser bottle would be handier for measuring it out even though I transferred some into a smaller bottle.

Just an FYI, those are called Bettix bottles if you want to order some of the dispensing bottles for your bulk products..

Thanks. I actually came across the name while looking for them. Most sellers that I've seen seem to be geared towards bulk sales so the cost of shipping a few is high enough that it's not worthwhile.

I’m seeing nearly all the sellers on ebay offering free shipping with an average cost of about $5 bucks per bottle.

With as much claylube, waterless wash, and APC I can sometimes go through, these bottles make things way more convenient.
