    Speedmaster Notorious Dry towel.

    Speed Master The Notorious D.R.Y. Towel - 26" x 36" (autogeek.net)

    Figured i would try mine this morning. Got the big one. This thing has some weight and girth! Flood rinse and grabbed my TW Wet Wax. WOW. This towel would grab water from the clouds!! Did the whole truck and did not leave a drop behind. It is a bit to move around due to it's weight and thickness. Thickest drying towel i have ever seen. BUT....

    HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM. When i went to wash it, it tossed around my new washer like a used beer can! Even on the Bulky setting. Guess it's weight makes for a uneven load. So is thing going to have to be hand washed?

    This happens with my large PFM’s and another brand’s I can’t mention here. I don’t wash mine until I have 4-6 to wash and do them together for a more even load.

    Looks identical to the PFM.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Here's my take. I'd rather use a smaller drying towel (or two) than a large one. The smaller ones are easier to wring out. So far, for drying, the looped towels seem to work really well.

    @1400 GSM, I doubt this towel could be wrung out. Not to mention you probably wouldn’t need to because it’s plenty capable of drying an entire vehicle or 2 no problem.

    -I have this same large towel and I’m loving it so far. I cringed just a little bit when you said you used it with TW Wet Wax as I’m keeping mine far away from any spray waxes to prevent it from being able to dry on its own.

    I haven’t washed it yet, but I don’t expect it to be a problem as the machine I use isn’t a brand new model.

    I don't use a drying towel with spray waxes. Those get a different towel. I prefer a suede or terry type MF towel.

    Finally came up with a solution to wash these bigger drying towels! BULKY setting on the washer did nothing to remedy the problem. DELICATE setting is the key. Did it this morning. No issues and washer ran fine.

    I will have to try delicate also. These towels are impressive. I bought 2 when they had a BOGO deal not too long ago.
