I have been using waffle weaves and I`m still looking for a good towel. Any suggestions on the best? I think I`m going to give this a run just because it is a stupid deal to have this discount with no shipping this weekend, but heh I aint complaining.

I have that same towel, and it works very well. It`s the only WW that I have, so not much to compare to but it works like a charm.

I really love the WWs from Pak Shak and from Fiber-Works.

PakShak waffle weaves are the best and I have tried just about everyone. Their ww drying towel is really soft.

The Golden WW from Excel Detail is also great and nicely priced.

You should have ordered the new WW at autogeek.net That one you ordered is great I have about ten of them, but they just came out with a new line of them called Guzzlers, they are a bit thicker and have satin edging.

Softest WW I`ve tried is the gray one from Ian at MicroFiberTech.com. It`s softer than my others and stays that way. Haven`t tried the PakShak ones though.

If you blot the paint dry, softness is secondary to absorbing ability.

Could be, but I don`t really see it as an either/or thing. The gray towels are absorbent and I don`t mind using as many as it takes. I try to do most of my drying by blotting, but I still end up wiping some. My BBTs and other WWs just aren`t as soft as I`d like, and when I read people posting about WWs leaving micromarring I think I`ll err on the side of caution. With my BBTs I feel I can *only* dry by blotting, and blotting a minivan dry isn`t my idea of fun ;) They do work fine for blotting up the bulk of the water as a first pass, but I don`t like the idea that they could mar if I don`t use them just right.

I spray some Meg`s Final Detail ( use other real slick QDs as substitutes) while drying. Seems to act a barrier, helping to minimize any marring.

Here`s another cheap place for WW, anybody else know a cheap distributor? I think pakshak adds like 10 bucks in shipping even if you buy one towel right?

Here`s what pakshak says about shipping--
The shipping cost will be in U.S. dollars the actual cost that the U.S. Postal Service charges us for shipping and insurance plus $5.00 to cover packing materials, handling and the filling out of customs forms.
So they charge whatever it costs to ship plus 5 bucks? Seams steap to me for a couple towels, do they ever run free shipping like autogeek?

Well it sure looks like they sell the same MF cleaner a lot cheaper than the competitors. Sheesh 20 bucks cheaper than Pakshak on a gallon size.
