Let's talk towels - specifically PLUSH drying towels

[pingable]

I've looked on and off....



Anyone making a extremely deep pile plush towel that is larger than a regular 16x16 MF towel size.

For starters, I use the following towels after a blow dry...



Pak Ultra Soft WW towel (I ALWAYS prime these by doing the glass 1st or spritzing water).

Autopia/Sonus DeWunder WW Towel





My personal favorite is this double stitched deep plush towel I ordered from Rubbish Boys in the UK.

A smaller towel in this class would be a DP MFluffy towel.



Anyone in the USA stateside sellers selling a similar double sideded uber plush MF towel ?



I prefer this to a WW for drying. While I love the absorbancy features of a WW, I still feel it's not *soft* enough for me, unless it is primed wet by either drying WET glass or giving a healthy spritzing of water

on the WW.



(this is more for paints that err on the soft side)

Walmart sells a double sided drying towel that is fantastic. Microtex is the brand about $10 each, I have two. Be careful to get the correct one because I think that they sell two microfiber drying towels at my walmart, mine is the most expensive one they sell. I think that theses are easier on the paint than a waffle weave, it is the softest towel I have ever seen:wink1: See link below

Walmart.com: Microtex Coral Drying Towel: Automotive

Good question. I hit a couple of local stores looking for a plush drying towel tonight with no luck. Looking forward to some more suggestions!

I've been wondering about this for a while now....I'd love to hear first-hand reports about ones that get absolutely 100% of the water off, something none of my non-WWs have ever done. I just have a feeling that I'll buy something along these lines and find it's not Accumulator-proof :think:

You got two hands and arms, right?

In one hand is the main drying towel, in the other is the secondary wipe towel, and wal-ah! All is right with the world.

I too love the double sided towel from wal mart.

I am glad that I could get someone to agree with me. Just because it is from Wally world doesn't mean that it is bad.

I've got a couple of these too. Just haven't had a chance to try them. I think they were $8.50. Very different material compared to a WW drying towel.

The DP FM are a lil too plush and does make it a bit award to catch a drip sometimes.....

But I still prefer it over a WW on soft paint.



Any other paint, I'm comfortable with the WW. There are just some paints that even with a ~primed~ WW, I still take very delicate passes even with QD as a lube.

 

[Accumulator]

TedFred- Yeah, Walmart can have good stuff, used to use their dishwasher powder back when it still hade phosphates. OK, I'll give those MicroTex Coral ones a try.

 

[Bill D]

Alright, I'll be on the look out for them too. As always with any MF, I probably better wash them first before using them on the cars.

Maybe it's just me, but super plush towels suck for drying compared to a WW. They just seem to push the water around.:think:

That had always been my experience as well, but if people here are saying the MicroTex one works....

 

[wascallyrabbit]

i been having pretty good luck with the purple cobra ones. the don't seem to push the water around like some of the others i've tried.

Guys, I understand the concern. I have't tried the pair of towels I purchased. I hope to use them this weekend and will certainly report back.
