That link isnt working for me but when it comes to something as important as your drying towel, I`d rather be safe than sorry.. Only proven towels for me:xyxthumbs

Why take a chance on something that could be OK, when you know where you can get WWs that are great?
I`d pass......
Unless you ment the Rooster & Hens towels and if thats the case then Go For It.

I bought a couple WW towels that bet993 mentioned (eBay seller "ultramicrofiber") and I`ve had no problems with them other than their size .... 60" x 35". I read numerous posts that said JTInternational MF`s were OK.
Admittedly, I`m working with silver metallic paint so micro-marring would not be as noticeable as a darker color, you just have to get used to the size.
If you use the "blotting" drying technique (advised) you can fold & refold this towel so many times that I almost never get to use the 2nd towel so they get cycled (one in the wash .... one good to go).
I`ve also bought a couple smaller WW towels from Winner`s Circle (75/25) & from Poorboy`s (don`t know) ... pretty much the same excellent quality as the WW I bought on eBay (80/20) but the polyester/polyamide blend is different. I keep these in the trunk for spot touch-ups.

I am not sure that I would want to purchase a towel on Ebay for drying my car unless I know that it has been proven to be reliable.
I would stick with the great waffle weaves that are offered by members on this site.
Just to name a few.
Ranney at Pakshak (http://pakshak.com)
Patrick at Excel Detail (http://exceldetail.com)
Most offer discounts to forum members which is probably comparable to the deal you could get on Ebay.
Just my thoughts.

Thank`s for the replys. I`m amazed at the information at this site.
Now to decide if I want to buy a PC or a rotary. The PC is nice but the roatary can do more... ahhh another day another thread..

the only downside to a rotary is splatter
