Drying Towels

[HM_SanDiego]

I have used these microfiber towels for vehicles for years - they work well, and are fairly inexpensive - I can dry my pickup with 2 towels

Like other comments - wash separately without fabric softener and hang dry - a good wash and wipe down with these on the glass, and I generally avoid using glass cleaner With these towels.

36 towels for $19.99 + tax generally works out to $.60 (60cents) per towel depending on your location

Tried using a bunch of different things over the years and this drying towel is by far the best I've ever used for drying.

Rag Company waffle weave silk serged edge towels are my main drying towels. I have the Meguiar's also but I prefer the Rag Company's. I gave up dryer sheets years ago. We only use 4 dryer balls now. I use McKees microfiber wash soap as the detergent. There are lots of good towels out there.

Just ordered one. I'll report back how good it is.
I probably shortened the life of my old ones by drying them in the dryer. Didn't use a dryer sheet but I'm sure it picked up the residue of them in the machine. Will start just air drying them.

Ordered one towel. Works as described. Able to dry entire truck, including windows & rims. Don’t think I could do 2 vehicles as it’s pretty heavy/soaked when done with 1 vehicle. Was it worth $30? Idk, will have to see how long it lasts. I will be ordering the Adams microfiber cleaner mentioned earlier, so that should help. But as of now entirely satisfied with it.

like said previously nothing is better than the leather chamois. I have tried them all and went back to this..

I've been using these waffle weave towels for years and have really good luck with them. https://www.autogeek.net/cobra-waffle-weave.html I'm really surprised to see all the people using big fuzzy towels as they will want to pick up any and every contaminant and keep it in those fibers. Only time I might need a second towel is if it's really cold and humid and they truck is drying really slow. I detailed cars for a living for a few years and we used the same towels. I think a few companies make the waffle weave towels. I have some meguiars ones but they didn't seem to work as well.
