Will add review comments later...initial impressions:
1. Very, very soft.
2. Thin (on purpose) ww 16x27 inch in size.
3. Seems perfect for qd work and final buffing. Might be excellent for glass as well.
4. Light blue in color with darker blue silk one piece edging.
Nice towel so far. Try and take some pics soon...

I would be curious to see how these work, considering their WWs. I guess you will not dry your vehicle with them? Let us know how they work on QD, final buff and maybe glass.

I plan to use the thicker Pak ww mf for drying. I will test these on qd and glass...probably have some time over lunch tomorrow.

Lee,
Do you have any of Ranny`s Glass MFs? If so, how do they compare to the new Ultra soft?

A little OT, but is it just me or is the PakShak glass towel just a smaller version of their WW drying towel?
Let me know how the new ultasoft towel works out for and for what tasks.

I believe that is correct but perhaps Ranney will discuss.
The new UltraSoft is thinner than my glass ww from Pak.

I used the UltraSoft for a Z-8 QD today. It worked very well. I think you can use it to apply the Z-8 or alternatively you could use an UltraSmooth and then go over the panels with the UltraSoft to dry.
It`s a very soft towel and got softer after the first wash. Highly recommended. :)

It`s because they`re covered in wax (that can be consumed), honestly! Consumers prefer shiny apples despite having no impact on taste. It also helps to prevent from rotting quickly.
Looks like a great, soft QD towel Lee. I like the edging too. The thin towel seems perfect for Z8 as it won`t absorb (waste) too much of it. As long as it is soft, the thin nature wouldn`t bother me.

Are they even real? They look too perfect to be real apples.

LOL. They are fake apples we use for decoration. :)
My apple waxing process was Z-PC followed Z-2 Pro X 3.
Just kidding. ;)

Damn...I was afraid of that. No real apples could look so terrific.
Got my first shipment of tangerine`s in today
Don`t feel or look any different than ultra plush but I haven`t washed them yet
I`ve never washed before first use before.
The ultra soft looks to me like a superior version of Detailers Paradise Wheel waffle`s which I like so much
