    I’ve used the “regular” 2 face and they are nice. But I prefer there terry weave. Will have to look at these lite towels.

    How to revive microfiber drying towels?

    One last thing. Threw a saver applicator i use exclusively for Cosmic and OC in the R2R soak. It always looked clean but hasn’t felt this “fluffy/soft” since new.

    I’ve got a bottle of towel kleen, mckees, and another griots to use up. Once done in 5 years i’ll be using this exclusive

    How to revive microfiber drying towels?

    Sooo.......... Update.

    What do you think happened? Hmm...

    I soaked a large Big Blue Towel, OG Large PFM, and 4 small PFM’s in a 5 gallon bucket 🪣 w/2oz. of R2R for 1.5 days maybe longer because I just didn’t get around to doing the laundry for a bit.

    Wringed out the towels a bit and washed them along with the rest of my drying towels in hot water + 2oz. precisely measured R2R soap. I think I read somewhere that Coatingsrcrack said this soap is the thickest soap he’s ever seen? I couldn’t disagree more. This is the thinnest washing detergent I’ve ever seen in my life. It could almost pass for some blue Gatorade in that gallon bottle, that’s seriously how thin it is. Just a notch above water consistency. And by the time all my drying towels went in the washer it had knocked down just about all the suds the 2oz. produced. That initially raised some doubts.

    Towels came out of the dryer smelling like the soap, which isn’t particularly a pleasant scent, but who really goes around smelling their towels, right? Towels weren’t any softer than normal, if anything they felt a bit stiffer than they normally do. Looking back that may be a good sign in the same way that paint can feel a bit tacky when it’s completely bare, which would be a good sign compared to any sort of residue or softeners.

    Bucket wash w/Megs Hyper Wash. rinse, sheet, go inside and grab the Big Blue Towel and I’m not gonna lie, I was prepared for a let down.
    I plop the dry towel on the roof of my Cadillac and grab it from each end and just drag the heavy towel along the roof and what’s the result?

    Initial result indicated, fail. Here’s the roof panel after dragging that rather heavy drying towel across once, this is after it did the same across the passenger side of the roof.



    So at this time I figured it was just my typical bad luck and it wasn’t going to work for me, but as I kept going around the car it did manage to catch up and by the end behave as it should drying to a complete streak free, bone dry vehicle. So is it just a characteristic of the towel needing to have some initial moisture to perform at its best? Or did the soap fail to revive the towel back to form?

    I’d say if anyones to blame its the towel not the soap, because it did manage to quickly dry as intended which it didn’t used to be able to do. Seems like it just needed that little bit of dampness and then it was drying everything in its path.

    Initial results of the R2R soap: Excellent.

    I’m gonna need a lot more favorable reviews before I buy another P&S product. Brake buster is just ok. Bead maker is crap. So I’m skeptical of their entire line now.

    The initial wave of bogus YT influencers/reviews should’ve told you Brake Buster was more hype than substance..

    As far as Beadmaker, I still use it on my own vehicle, and it’s pretty rare for a newer product to make it onto my personal vehicle. It’s just too smooth, it shines nice, and I haven’t noticed any extraordinary dust accumulation after using it. If there’s definitive 50/50 testing that proves otherwise, I’d love to see that thread or link to the video?
