I’ve tried a couple others and they were good. Were the PFM’s twice the better.... no.

Order the ones you mentioned. You’ll be happy.

The liqid8tor and twistress are nice towels. Get one of each.

I myself don't like the grabbiness either. Look up a micro twist pile towel. It absorbs almost as much as a twisted loop but smooth across the paint.
 
Another vote for the Griots PFM drying towel. They are the best in the marketplace. They work even better once they get a little damp.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I use the "matador" method with a PFM to dry the hood, roof, deck lid of our vehicles and I've never noticed any "grabbiness". You would think that that drying method would be especially sensitive to any "grabbiness". :dunno:
 
No grabbiness here either. I used the matador method on a hood the other day

Im sure some people are just more sensitive to it. Not saying they are unsafe or rough, I just prefer other types. Form over function for me :laughing:
 
Griot's or The Rag Company's Gauntlet. Either one is a great choice.
 
Try the Twist Loop XL 1400 GSM towel from Clean Garage. A really nice towel.

I am fully aware of it. Im not a pro detailer, so I dont need the highest absorbency. Having the highest absorbancy doesnt mean the best towel for me. I just need enough to dry my own car easily without wringing. I have multiple twist loop towels, they are my backup towels tbh. Different strokes for different folks. Btw I didnt start this thread.....

I'm aware of the OP. And I certainly was not attacking you. That is not what we do here on AGO.

And, there is no wringing with a PFM. In fact, it is physically impossible to wring it out.

I only tout the PFM because for a few years, (to my own regret) I resisted buying one because of the price.

Once I tried it, I was kicking myself for wasting my time with other towels.

I do want to compare the PFM to my other twist loops, but the price is too high just to experiment for fun. Maybe on a good sale one day.

That is a fair statement.

I am no pro either. Far from it.

But with a full-sized truck and pesky Jeep Wrangler to dry, I got very frustrated with other towels.

The price of the PFM's were worth the alleviation of the headaches for me.

There you go. AG usually has a couple big MF sales per year. Or another way to snag a good deal on a PFM is to buy one of the ones in the AG Outlet store (ie. already discounted) the next time AG has a 25% off sale. That's like a double dip of savings ! :awesome:
 
Late to the party but sounds like PFM is the way to go!
 
I just grabbed another two pack of the 16x16" pfms. I prefer a few compact drying towels over a single large towel and I really see no reason to try anything other than these.

I have a bunch of the 16x16's as well. (Some dedicated to wheel drying.)

I can see where these would be preferable when drying smaller vehicles.

How often do y'alls wash your trying towel(s)?

I wash mine after every use. I have quite a few of them so I use clean towels and save until I have several dirty ones then wash them all together.
