    Re: Review: Griot's Garage PFM or Pure Freakin Magic Wax Removal Towel!

    I was once skeptical of the price of the PFM towels but after a forum user sent me one (for free!) I was converted. They truly are lint free and I like how both sides have the nice long loops. I use them as my final wipe down towel. I'll literally spray the whole car with a QD or spray sealant and all I need are a few PFM towels to wipe. Paint, glass, plastic, doesn't matter. No need for separate glass towels anymore.

    Oh I understand, and I am all for expressing oneself, but that car...it's an American icon.

    Out of curiosity, how does somebody go about detailing the hood and roof comfortably and safely on a vehicle like that?

    The towels are definitely on my radar. Thanks for the excellent review.

    I would have used them for the compounding and polishig steps and even the McKee's Jeweling Wax step, (horizontal surfaces), except Nick didn't bring them out for me to test until I was at the waxing step.

    Since them I've used them for removing compounds and I like em....


    thank you...2 packs of them are now in my wish list

    Next time I see Billy I'll ask him how this car came to be a Monster Truck.

    Believe it or not, that's a modern single stage paint job. A few of my local car buddies get all thier cars painted single stage. They figured ot the clearcoat failure game and got tired of losing it.

    You must have missed my write-up where I detailed this rig...

    Just to note...

    Out of the package they can feel a little too stout...

    After a wash or two they start to soften up while retaining the stoutness.

    do you recommend washing these prior to using them?

    I didn't because at the time I didn't have the time to wait to wash and dry them. Normally when using a brand new towel I simply remove it from the package and use it I don't first wash and dry the towels and it must be okay because all my work comes out looking good.

    They definitely get softer after a wash or two, kind of like your favorite pair of jeans or t-shirt. If that's important to you or the project you're working on then wash and dry them first.


    As far as I know these sold out after I wrote this article and they are still on backorder. (to my knowledge).


    I"m glad I have my own stash of 8 towels.

    ***Alert***


    After I wrote this article about these cool new microfiber towels from Griot's we sold out the next day.

    I was just now walking through the warehouse and I saw they were being restocked.


    If you want some.... get some before they're gone...
