Once I washed them & dried them the edges curled up. Boy do I hate that.

I am not ordering their towels anymore.

Also, never received any samples.

PS: Their shipping charges are the highest of any vendors.
Well I have to stick up for CG on this one . . . Autogeek seems to have the highest and most ridiculous shipping prices. On one of my orders from them, they really protected my Cobra towels by using a lot of styrofoam packing peanuts. Good thing too. I'd hate to see what would've happened to my mf's if they would've been dropped!

If you *truly* want to see high shipping, order from US Plastics. Now that is robbery to the fullest!

Re: These are the Chemical Guys Chubby towels?

To AG's defense, I was given a shipping quote for my $300 dollar order and was not happy with the shipper or the quote so I emailed back, found out that there's a new person in charge of that area and they worked out the best deal was with USPS and cut half the amount off the quote.

Its always good to email and keep in contact by phone.

Re: These are the Chemical Guys Chubby towels?

I agree that when manufacturers directly compete against their distributors it is not a good business arrangement and frustrates the distributor but it is getting to be a more common business practice among many different sectors.

He assured me they are 70/30 and he will change the description on the website. Now the website only says 80/20. So what are they made of?

Elite Deluxe towels – top of description says 70/30, bottom of description says 80/20. When I get the towels, the removable sticker says 75/25. So what are they made of?

Again, Quality Control is lacking.
hey vintage just went through the same thing as you my elite towels that just arrived are 75/25 as well. and the website still has that Elite Deluxe towels – top of description says 70/30, bottom of description says 80/20.

I also like the grey Vroom mf's. I use them for quick detailing and they do the job well.

I love the Vroom grey. I get a new pack every 2 weeks. The orange are not bad I use those on my wifes van and my truck. The grey are way softer.

I have never had a problem with CG or AG or for that matter CMA. I really don't pay attention to shipping cost. When I need or want something I order it.

Overhyped and doesn't deliver is the best way I can describe their products.
Agreed. I have found their products to be mediocre at best.
