Viking drying towel vs waffle weave...

I really love how plush and soft the Viking drying towel is. It's light years softer than my Meg's water magnet after the same number of washes (albeit, the water magnet is still relatively soft.) For those that are not familiar with the Viking, it's not a waffle weave; it's a very plush mf towel with a relatively long/deep nap.

Since the water magnet is somewhat small, I use it to only get the majority of the water off (I have a large minivan). I then followup with the Viking towel to completely buff dry. I like to buff dry with the Viking towel since it's so much softer.

Question: do you find that the Viking towel tends to "stick" to paint when the car is very wet? It sort of drags like a leather chamois would.

I would like to get more Viking towels (great size at a great price) if I could figure out why it drags.

i too since have used the gold viking mf drying towel for my drying purposes instead of waffle weaves, they're alot softer and soak up the water pretty nicely. try blot drying with it folded in quarters, and then afterwards use a qd to remove any excess water spots, etc. in fact, the one i have and am currently using now, has lasted me over months with no signs of wear....

p.s. it's a personal preference, and use what suits you best...
