the blue ones arent as "super" and "jumbo" as they like to make them out to be.
dont get me wrong, they are very nice towels, but they arent the thickest out there.
the yellow ones are very nice, and i use them for pretty much everything. but they arent that much thicker than the blue ones.
I just happen to have one of each laying around...

and with a stack of 4 quarters just for comparison.

I wouldnt recommend them for drying, get a waffle weave for that.

wow the difference from your pictures to theirs is night and day. No where near as thick as I first thought.
I have the blue ones and they are pretty dang good for the price. Out of the 12 I have, the edging on one has started to come undone.
Otherwise they are great for taking off polish and waxes.

I agree with Focus2069. His photos are more accurate than the CG website. The blue towels are okay but not the softest MF in my collection. I also use a WW for drying.

yeah, i agree, and I brought that up with them when I recieved them, they "fluff" them when they stack them for the photos, to make it look thicker, but all website MF towels are like that.
The did take care of me though, and sent me some sasquatches for free, which are alot thicker.
The yellow ones are VERY good all purpose microfiber, for the money (12 for 20 bucks) they are hard to beat.

Are the blue ones worth 3/$9.99 or should I pass on them and get something different?

These look like the same exact towel in the link below, and you can get them here for 3/$7.00 or bulk pricing.

Yeah I saw those other towels. There is another thread on them. I am waiting to see more positive feedback before I would go with them. They may look the same but that does not mean the quality/performance is on par with CG.

How are the sasquatch towels, do they lint? I sure hope not, I just ordered 4 and there gonna be used on a black vehicle.

Bought 4, use them for drying and very happy. No linting, but then again I am a newb, without a black car. :heelclick
Smoked my Costco yellows and Wally World Blue & Teal. Funny about the Walmart Blue & Teal, is that it feels nice, much like the sasquatch, is roughly the same size and weight, but linted horribly. I think you will be happy with the sasquatch.

havent used the sasquatches, im still using the Shamrocks I got from Autogeek..when they fall apart, the sasquactches will be used next.
and I would get more of the 12 for 20 yellow ones before I got 3 for 10 blue ones.

Would the sasquach be suitable for removing waxes/sealents? My main use for it would be to remove Souveran off the paint. I think that for QDing they might be a lil too thick and eat up the product.
