    Re: MF drying towel review. - what would you like to see reviewed and how?

    OK everyone. Here`s my list. I am waiting to see if I can get my hands on one from Gyeon.... but otherwise here`s the list. Keep in mind some of these were donated, some were purchased by me. I`m just a enthusiast and I have BLOWN my budget on this review. This is just part of the spreadsheet I put together. The review will have considerably more information, photos and video. There are over $700 worth of towels on this list. All pricing is standard, non discounted. I wasn`t about to go find the best price for each towel; that`s your job!

    Nope. no contact info even after signing up on their website. The other vendors I`ve found are in the UK.

    There is the I hate detailing towel which is similar to the MFtech helix and Gyeon silk dryer.

    Basically a single sided twist type drying towel but in a drying towel size not the smaller 16x24 of the twistress

    I just bought it but haven`t used it yet for 15 bucks it`s a reasonable value price wise.

    Adams has a plush and a ww towel and there is the UBER towel from detailers domain

    This should be very interesting. I appreciate your efforts.

    Assuming my search skills are passable, we haven`t had a thread here discussing the Kirkland (Costco) MF for ten years or so. I`m not sure if they`re still the same ones that were sold in the past. Just curious if anyone else is interested in how they stack up against much more expensive MF.

    Thanks in advance for your efforts. You already have covered all the drying towels I have in stock, so I have none to add, but I`ll be looking forward to your thoughts of the ones on your list.

    I have some but they have been used for buffing/polish removal so they probably are not the best for drying.

    Still trying to get a large towel From Gyeon Quartz, a drying towel from Adams, and The Uber Super Drying Towel.


    I will say; the response from vendors has been 99% positive, I`ve only had one or two say no. Pretty impressive!

    Re: MF drying towel review. - what would you like to see reviewed and how?

    My question is:
    What will you do with them AFTER this drying comparison testing is done??

    Underwriter`s Lab or Consumer`s Report doesn`t have as an "extensive" list like this. Here are some things to consider in doing objective testing.
    1) Measuring the actual physical weight of each towel and then it`s "wet weight" to determine it`s absorption-to-material weight ability scale. A pre-determined mathematical formula/equation to calculate a test number/value is a more "objective" (IE scientifically quantifiable) methodology to accurately and equitably compare towel-to-towel. (I`d swear resident Autopian scientist Kevin Brown is writing/typing this!!)
    2) You will also not be able to determine long-term durability without doing number drying cycles and how it`s absorption ability is retained. This also includes its dry weight after many drying cycles, and one that looses its weight significantly is one that I would think "lints or sheds" a lot.
    3) Lastly is the cost factor-to- absorption ability. An inexpensive towel that only picks up 75% of what a top-absorption towel will do may be a better `value" if you divide the dollar cost by the wet weight, again as objective number to use as a comparison.

    I say this because most comparison tests are subjective in nature, meaning they are subject to the personal opinions and evaluations and judgments of the person viewing the results.
    Like asking which wax is the shiniest. An identical wax on a white car may not "look" the same on a black car right next to it. Or if different waxes were applied to the same color and make of car, lighting will play tricks on a person`s eyes as to what may be deemed "shiniest". My point is there are many factors/variables in doing comparison testing. Mitigating those variables are the tester`s responsibility.

    That said, regardless of how you do your testing and present your results, you are to be commended for undertaking such a task. I, and I am sure ALOT of other Autopians, are interested to find out what this comparison testing will discover and reveal about drying towels.
