PFM Towels in action

The fibers are still split

I`m gonna have to get me some of these! I`d thought the cobra drying towel was awesome, but it doesn`t do that. And what was it, 860gsm? Wow

I`ve been using a couple of the Griot`s PFM Terry Weave Towel (not the "drying" towel, just the PFM towel) for about a year now. I`ve mainly used them with spray waxes, but they are said to good for glass, wax removal, etc. also. They are very nice towels and are more dense/heavy than your standard micro fiber towels. My only caution is that they seem to snag very easily, especially when wiping near deck lid and fender emblems. I snagged both of mine very quickly after purchasing. This has not seemed to hurt the performance of the towel in any way, but just a word of caution if this is something that would bother you be very very careful when using them around emblems and moldings they could snag on!

I was about to pull the trigger on a few of those but if these are better...im all in then

I have a Dry Me Crazy and if you lay it out and run it across the paint like the first video, it won`t pick it up the water on the first try. I try to get it to every time I dry my car and no luck. Let me know how you like the towel though. Would love to know if it is worth it.

Yeah, they can snag on the car badges/emblems so you have to be aware of those areas when drying.

The looped and twisted "terry weave" allows for more microfiber in a given area. That`s why the GSM (grams per square meter) rating is so much higher with the PFM Towels. The advance of that is much higher absorbency. MUCH higher!

Bill--are the smaller towels the same as the large Drying Towel??

Order placed. I`m taking one home with me now. The bike needs a rinseless wash + chain maintenance so I`ll be using this to dry it afterwards.

That is correct. The smaller PFM 2-pack is the same as the Drying Towel. Same with the PFM Glass Towel: One side is the same PFM material with the tight-weave glass cloth on the other side.

Towels look promising. Does the 16 x 16 PFM work well for polish removal? They seem to be more geared for liquid removal.

They are amazing for polish removal! We also have PFM Wax Removal Towels that are 9"x9" and a little better suited for Wax/Polish removal. One towel fits within your hand so you don`t have to fold over a bigger towel. Same material though and it really cuts through hard-to-remove wax and polish.
