Ok. I couldn't resist. I went out and washed my car even though I know its going to rain tomorrow. Maybe it won't now. Who knows...? Anyway, they are both really good towels. I can understand why people rave about them now. I didn't use my CWB on it at all. I really wanted to see how much water they could hold. To start with I laid them both on the hood to see how quick they could soak up the water.
The CMA towel did great. It still felt dry to the touch after soaking up all the water on its end. The 4 Star towel showed signs of soakage right away. Not that that's a bad thing. Its a thinner towel and I didn't expect it to soak up as much. They both dried their sides perfectly with no streaks or water trails. Once I got to the side panels it was a different story though. The 4 Star towel saturated much quicker than the CMA towel did. Both left water trails in the end but the CMA towel was able to soak up much more water. I think that had I used the CWB before I started with the towels that they both could have dried the car easily without streaks. The CMA towel would be able to cover a larger car, obviously but I think the 4 Star towel is a great product. Definatly worth the $14 (or less with our discount).
