Drying towel?

[Old Pirate]

Just like I said, with one Big Blue III :wizard:

[imported_glfahlc]

i purchased an ultimate drying towel from chemical guys and it worked quite well for me. the yellow one thats 24x36 or something like that. but once i correct my paint i`ll be going the leaf blower route.

My favorite drying towel is the ultra-soft waffle-weave from PakShak. I`ve tried several different drying towels, and this works best for me.

Every once in a while I will buy a nice waffle weave towel for drying cars. I just purchased 4 from Auto geek

But I just recently found a really nice quality drying towel at Target of all places. And they are only $7 and some change. They are very nice, and cheap too

My most recent drying towel purchase was at Walmart a few months back. It was nice and plush and very absorbent. It was made be Armor All. Unfortunately, they are no around. Guess they didn`t sell well.

To you guys that use (and rave about) the big blue towel, I am puzzled as I find the Big Blue towel just about useless?

All it seems to do is spread water around and at best turn large droplets into small ones. But not so small that they would not leave water marks. I find it absorbs very little water?

I use a leaf blower to blow dry the car and then use a big old 100% cotton bath towel. I`ve tried a side by side test with the Big Blue and it`s not even close.

Is there a technique or something I`m missing?

I like the flooding method then the Big Blue Towel. I just got some Maguirs towels and they worked great to.

Jeff,

There is no special technique, you may have gotten a bad towel. A while back we received a small batch of towels that were bad, yes bad microfiber. The towels were from China and not Korea, to our surprise. We thought we had replaced them all. Call Angelo on Monday and he will send you a new towel. If you have your order number it will be helpful, but if not, he can look it up. Sorry for the hassle.

Sal,

You may want to check out the "Microfiber Waffle Weave Drying Towel 20" x 40" from Showroom FX, formally Tropicare. I`ve used the Cobra waffle weaves and the Shamrock 750 MF towels, these from Showroom are the best out of the few I`ve used. Excellent at absorbing water free completely dry to fairly damp, no difference in performance.

Jack,

I received my replacement towels (I had previously bought a set of two) and now understand why so many like the blue towels. Both of the ones I had must have been the bad batch. It is a night and day difference between the old and new. The new ones work great and the old are headed to the trash.

Thanks for the great customer service!

Glad you found out the truth in the Big Blue III towels!

+1.. the first time i used the new one i said to myself" now i get it" what a difference.

[imported_Dubbin1]

I am shocked that no one has mentiond the Cobra Ultimate Guzzler. That towel will dry anything.

I`m using 5 & 6 square ffot microfiber towels I got from Walmart Advance Auto & Autozone.
