    Exclamation PFM Drying Towel.

    Griots Garage PFM Terry Weave Drying Towel

    My dry me a river WW has just about served its life. This morning it was time to break out my new GG PMF drying towel. Did a flood rinse as normal. Then on to the PMF. WOW! This towel made very short work on the Xterra! Picked up water like a magnet. No streaks or smears. I had no issue with the bigger size. Needed for the Xterra. When I was done I was very impressed with this towel. So much to say it beat any WW that I have used to date. At $40 it is a expensive buy. But well worth it. Wait for a sale like I did to grab one. Hope the future performance of this towel remains the same. Short of a blower/dryer, I don`t see a better tool to dry with.

    A great towel for sure. But way too expensive. TRC`s new Twistress towel is every bit as good, albeit smaller, for a fraction of what GG is charging. I own both - review coming soon.

    I have not used the TRC towel but I have been using a PFM large and two small ever sincd they came out and for drying my frontier, that large PFM is a joy to use. For one towel, once you get the hang of using it around the wheel wells and other areas (takes a bit of stretching and delicate maneuvering-at leat for me) it works fantastic for me.

    The only thing I dislike about it is that it takes a long time to dry in my garage draped over my folding chair but that is why I have two. So I guess the price thing wasn`t much of an issue for me.

    I think it`s a good investment in time saving for drying but like I said I`ve never used the other towel.

    I even like the PFM overall over the Big Blue except when using it on black paint...just to be a little safer I only use the seemingly softer towels on my black paint.

    That "just doesn`t feel soft enough for some applications" impression keeps giving me pause, even though some have said the PFM is OK on stupid-soft paint. I sure don`t want to find out the hard way that it`s not 10)% Accumulator-proof.

    The only thing I dislike about it is that it takes a long time to dry in my garage draped over my folding chair but that is why I have two.
    Don`t you launder/machine dry it after every use?

    Re: PMF Drying Towel.

    I bought a PFM drying towel after I saw all of the positive reviews. I still like the thicker Big Blue towel. I can use the smaller Big Blue to out dry the larger PFM. Of course, just my experience.

    Re: PMF Drying Towel.

    Wonder if my preference for multiple, smaller Plush MF Drying Towels factors in any...I just don`t like manipulating bigger towels.

    But I *DO* prefer thicker ones! In a really big way. And the subjective, and possibly irrelevant in the functional sense, "how it feels to my skin" matters to me just on a psych level.

    Re: PMF Drying Towel.

    It is thick. Again, I found no issue with size drying the Xterra. Now my old dry me a river, that thing is one large WW! I did not wash it prior to using it today. After I did indeed wash it and tumble dry on low as per instructions. I was also careful not to snag on it any of the emblems!

    PA DETAILER- Thanks for that link, although...sigh...I kinda end up back where I start! Seems that I`d like a little version of the Big Blue. Heh heh, as long as I just keep (over)thinking it I`m not spending any $, and I really am completely satisfied with the Dry Me Crazy towels.

    Now those PFM *GLASS* towels...might have to get some of those eventually! As long as they don`t start linting for anybody.

    Re: PMF Drying Towel.

    I`m no towel guru but to me I have the pfm, gyeon, and big blue. The gyeon to me is a great towel and feels safer on the paint then the pfm. It also sucks up water with one pass and not one steak. One will dry my Infiniti g35

    Re: PMF Drying Towel.

    IMHO the Griots PFM towels are the best drying towels period. I have one big blue drying towel and hate it, I have 15 of the PFM towels in different sizes. Advanced Auto has a PFM drying towel that is in between the sizes that AG/Autopia sells. It`s a great size and sells for $24.99, and I just caught a 20% off sale with free shipping. Griots PFM wax removal towels are nice also.

    For some reason I knee-jerk to "gee, bet that`s pricey!" when I see "gyeon".

    PFM towel is product that surpass it`s marketing hype and performs as the name and it marketing material describes...

    Re: PMF Drying Towel.

    I picked up the 2 pack of the smaller PFM`s a couple months ago and they`re the best drying towel I`ve used. Shortly after I picked up 2 small Big Blues on BOGO and I don`t like them at all. They just pushed water around. Once they were saturated, they were a pain to twist and took forever to dry. I don`t think I`ll be using them anymore.

    Last week I ordered some new towels from TRC and I picked up a couple of the Twistress drying towels. I like the bigger size and they work very good but I think the PFM`s are a little better. They will both be in my drying arsenal.
