Pakshak WW vs the Guzzler WW

[2000firebird]

I can`t decide between these two.. i`m figuring I well spend around $50 after shipping which is kinda lame for 2 WW`s and 2-3 wash mitts.

between these two i`m not sure. which is better? i know one is thinner

Or

The Guzzler Combo Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/guzzler-microfiber-combo.html)

the nice thing about autogeek is they have the square sheepskin wash mitts 3/$15. my total still comes to $50 with the guzzler combo and the 3 mitts though after coupon.

I could also order 3 the shipskeen wash mitts seperately at around $21 from autogeek and one of each of the above pakshaks is $28 shipped so i still come in right at $50. Not sure which is the better way to go. Or maybe there are newer better drying mf/ww out there i`m not seeing? let me know what you think.

2000firebird- I`d get the *softest* WWMFs you can. I don`t know from the Guzzler, but I`m completely satisfied with the PakShak Ultra-soft.

Yeah I believe i originally had the pakshaks. They lasted me a good 3-4 years and they still work but they are very hard to the touch now probably worse than cotton towels.

The problem with pakshak is I spend $40 just to get two 25x36``s shipped to me. unless i go with the small ones. with autogeek I can try the guzzlers and get the 3 wash pads i wanted for only another $10. I`m sure either one is going to be an improvement over what i`m using, but if one is actually inferior to the other i`ll pay a little more.

Pakshak`s for me. Haven`t used the guzzler but when I started searching for a new towel supplier a few years ago the report was that the guzzler was prone to lint.

Gave my 2 Guzzlers away and been using Pakshak waffle weave since.

That many years is a pretty good run for a drying towel, don`t you think? WWMFs do have a somewhat limited working-life.



In your case, I can`t help but wonder how some high-temp washes, with no detergent, might work. I`ve softened up/revitalized my WWs with that approach, and others have even boiled `em with good results.



My oldest PakShak WWs don`t work as well as they used to, but they sure aren`t too stiff to use, can`t remember them *ever* being like that...it`s my cotton towels that eventually get that way.
