    MICROFIBER DRYER TOWEL



    VS

    I want one of CGs drying towels, but not sure which one. I have a waffle weave and it works but it seems like the other towel would absorb more water and pull any dust up and away from the paint.

    i bought the first one listed and was dissappointed with it. if you want a good high quality mf drying towel, get the viking instead (or the vroom mf drying towel which can be found at target). it can be found out your local k-mart ($8.99), kragen. the second one you have listed (waffle weave) is one i use on a regular basis, as well as the one listed below...

    gotta agree - the first one. Hey, BigAl3 - what didn`t you like about it? I`m thinking about getting it too.

    it just wasn`t any better (plushness, softness, nap, etc) than the other mf drying towels i`ve used and it cost more ($12.95) and i had high expectations of it too, only to be let down. the vroom or viking mf drying towels are just as nice and about $4 cheaper to boot...

    Second one, no question. The one I got was VERY soft, and is still going strong after a year.

    agreed craig, and i`ve been using mine for a looong time with no probs as well. i think once i`m ready to order some more, i`ll get them from patrick as he has them for $10.99 vs. CG`s $14.95, and they look to be the same exact thing...

    Yep, I have both and they are exactly the same as the Exceldetail Monterey WW. The only difference is a better price and much better service from Exceldetail.



    BTW, those are my favorite drying towels...... very very soft and absorbent........ I stocked up on a bunch from Excel (Patrick) after I got my first one from him. There are some others that are made from the same material, but at this time I believe those are the best price, and you can`t beat the service from Exceldetail.

    Are they worth it over CHUBBY 6.35mm THICK SUPRA MICROFIBER TOWELS 16.5 x16.5 (6 Pack) and Ultra Fine 100% MICROFIBER TOWELS BLUE 16"x16" (1 Dozen)



    For the same price I would get 50% more towels.

    You`re comparing apples to oranges. The big towels are good for drying because you don`t have to keep going back and grabbing more towels from your bin.



    The 16x16 towels can be used for drying, but they`re better off used for different purposes.



    I have always found BigAl3`s and Elliotness` reviews on microfiber to be pretty honest and accurate. If I were buying from CG and I had to pick between those 2 drying towels, I would go for the 2nd one because it looks to be the very soft waffle weave material that some other places sell. Like BigAl3 mentioned, you can get a similar towel as the first one at your local Kmart or Target if that`s the type of mf drying towel you`re interested in.

    In that post I was referring to MXRX8`s post about getting the Deluxe towels.

    I know the difference between towels lol



    I am already set on the WW towel for drying, but wanted to see if its worth it to get 12 deluxe towels for 34 bucks, or 6 chubby and 12 of the regular MFs for 34 bucks.

    ahh LOL sorry, my bad! I mistook your post as comparing the 16x16 towels to the drying towels.
