    BIG (little) BLUE DRYING TOWEL

    Oh well, looks like I won`t win the geeks contest for one to review..........


    This is the "little one". Bought little and med, figuring the large was gonna be too big to handle and get toooooo heavy.

    First ting you notice is how soft it is. (if you have the griots you know it feels "prickly")
    Compared to Griots PFM:





    Sticker is light adhesive not sewn.





    I did rinseless with Uber, and tried to use as much solution as I could to see how thirsty the towel is:





    1 pass with towel:









    Different angle to show no streaks:











    Now, if you`ve used the griots, you know that it is grabby on glass. Not so with Big Blue.
    (and no streaks again)




















    After entire car
    Towel is barely damp, no drips, nuttin.








    Oh well, I guess I am proof that Mikes` reviews work, since I bought it 30 seconds after seeing his thread....... (yeah, i`m weak)

    Your carbon roof is impressive. The indoor shots really give it a much more dynamic look. I`m impressed with the perfectly clear and apparently texture free clear coat. How is the respray compared to the factory paint?

    Nice review. That new towel looks like a winner.

    FYI: It`s a balmy 36 degrees in WI today

    Thanks. The respray could use a light polishing to get the reflections up to par, but not bad. I want to see what a ptg says about whole car first.

    Kinda glad the indoor shots worked well. I really wanted to show the "no streaking".


    It`s cloudy, 80 degrees and humid here.... You`ll be here soon enough to get warm.

    Re: BIG (little) BLUE DRYING TOWEL

    I posted my same thoughts on the big one - or similar observations

    When it High GSM TOO High

    For drying, I prefer to blot and not even drag -- one of our cars has super soft paint....

    At the end of the day, high gsm towels are just 2 towels together. I would opt for the light weight version.
    YMMV

    I`m surprised how well it worked, and it didn`t even feel damp when done.

    I just learned my cousins wedding is the weekend of Detail Fest. I`m bummed, looks like I`ll have to wait till 2018.

    Glad to hear the new paint is up to your standards. 80 and humid sounds perfect. Anything over 50 sounds good at this point

    Nice review and pics. I wonder when ACC will add it to their store. I have to finish Christmas shopping before placing another order though, otherwise some people may not get gifts.
