Excel WW Drying Towels

6speedZ · 05-16-05, 09:05

Does anyone know the difference between Excel Detail's Excel Monterey Waffle Weave Drying Towel and the Pacific Blue Waffle Weave Drying Towel, besides their size? How many of these towels would I need to do a full size car at the largest? Thanks!

The monterey WWs are a bit larger, and they are softer. I believe they are from a different manufacturer than the Pacific blues.
You might be able to dry a whole car with one, but I'd get two just in case you have any streaks left over.
I have 4 of them and I love them all!

I have the Monterey towels and they work great on my black GT. They are really soft and hold a lot of water. I use 2 so I don't streak.

I have a Pacific Blue WW towel from Excel. It's nice, but it's not as thick or as large as the Big Blue WW I got from Classic Motoring. I haven't been able to dry my whole car with either by themselves, so I use them both when drying my car. Believe it or not, the only ones I have that can dry my entire car are the Microtex MF towels I got from Walmart! They're not WW, but at under $7, they're quite the bargain and they haven't scratched or marred my black Acura!

I have one of the new Excel WW towels and it is very nice. Its not as thick as some of the other WW but it really does hold the water.

I agree with the Microtec MF drying towels. They are nice, plush and really hold the water. For a towel under $7 that can be obtained locally they are a great deal for the money.

I bleieve one has a silk edging and the other doesn't. I have the darker blue one with the silk edging and love it. I had a grey waffle weave from Autopia I had been using but those edges on it can and will scratch. You couldn't see it under normal lighting but under halogens that towel edging casued scatching/marring in the direction I had dried , I hated having to fold it to avoid the edges touching my paint

. It did absorb water great but the edging sucked. Glad alot of MF's out now do have silk borders

What kind of edges to the Monterey towels have?

I have the pacific blue WW's and they're great. They are much better than The Absorber, hands down.

The montereys have a soft edge...maybe it's also MF? Maybe Patrick can chime in and confirm what the material is on the edge of the Montereys.

I also have 4 of the pacific blue WW's and they are great towels. Very soft and hold a ton of water, I use two to try my black truck,
Patrick's CS is great!

I'd like to know more about the Monterey, I already have some of the Sonus towels and a few of the new WW from WC on the way, but you can never have enough of these things.
