Microfiber Drying Towels - Best and Boiling Towels
I have a two part question:
(1) Which is a better drying towel? Cobra Guzzler Waffle Weave (80/20 fiber blend), or the Blue Waffle Weave Drying Towel (70/30 blend) ? I am looking for comments from users and AG staff.
(2) Also, there has been various discussion about boiling towels to clean and return softness. What process was used? Please explain. (e.g. bring water to boil, place towels in water for ? minutes, allow to cool and dry). So what's your process, etc. Thanks.

I have some of the BLue waffle ones and to be honest they suck. I can dry a car faster(about 75% faster) with a old school shamcloth.

I think the guzzler and guzzler HD are both awesome drying towels. The blue WW towels have yet to impress me. Maybe after a couple washes they might absorb a little better.
I don't know about boiling the towels, but I know that the microfiber cleaners sold here work very well in the washing machine.

I love the original green guzzlers. I find no need to boil. I use the dedicated soaps (Microrestore, DP) as directed and thats all thats needed. No need to add this or that ...

Re: Microfiber Drying Towels - Best and Boiling Towels
Is the idea behind boiling towels to "melt" the dried on product, so it will come out of the towel?
I see some people recommend using cool water to wash MF, but others say to boil them... Can anyone shed some light on this? Or does it not even really matter?

The idea is to remove trapped waxes and polishes in the fibers.

Re: Microfiber Drying Towels - Best and Boiling Towels
Good question.
I have a Cobra Guzzler HD Waffle Weave Drying Towel and I need to clean it, so I'm really curious to know how I should clean it.
I already have a DP Microfiber cleaner, is it good for my Guzzler ?

I dont like the blue ones either, I like the Gold Plush, one large & one small will dry an Escalade!

Re: Microfiber Drying Towels - Best and Boiling Towels
I wash my towels using a "steam" cycle on my LG HE washer.
2008 Acura MDX Sport white pearl (daily driver)
2009 BMW E70 X5 4.8i jet black (garage queen)
2013 BMW F25 X3 2.8 jet black (wife's car)

I've never boiled microfibers in my entire life. Sometime I'll start the wash cycle over again after the first rinse cycle and on both cycles use hot water.
