Didn’t say they were, I just find it easier with the ww towels as they are less bulky and are less grabby.

I don’t feel they suck up the water as well and are not as soft....both subjective feelings on my part. I did a review here a number of years ago with both side by side.
PFM drying trick I use: I hold one end with my left hand at the “belt line” and use my right hand, holding the bottom, wipe the sides as I walk down the side of the vehicle doing all the work with my right hand as the left pushes the towel down the upper edge of the body.
The large size of the PFM is great for drying horizontal surfaces. Yes, they can be a hand full on smaller areas. The small size is a little small for my liking.

I totally agree about the twistress not being as absorbent. I gave mine away as well.
@Spazz, the PFM does come in a rolled edge as well. Mind you it’s a huge towel, but all you have to do is fold it for use on vertical panels.

Re: Still use a waffle weave for drying?
After blow drying I use a Big Blu by Cobra( took a bit getting used to) followed by by waffle with a topper to finish the drying. Sometimes after blow drying I spray a drying aid n then only use waffle weave
