Ever since I bought the PFM dying towel, I have wanted something that absorbs liquid as well as the PFM, but in a much smaller size for cleaning my car's windows. Let's face it, the large PFM does GREAT on paintwork and the side windows, but it's a tad bulky for the windshield and rear window.

I was looking through the Auto Geek store and saw Griots Garage PFM Dual Weave Glass Towel, Set of 4 these towels. Are they what I'm looking for?
 
I have those PFM for glass towels. They work fine. Because I wash them with my other towels, sometimes I get a little bit of lint from them, but it's minor and could be avoided by washing them separately. They are nicely sized for working on glass and tight spaces.
 
I use the PFM Glass clothes one side I clean the glass with and the other side (smooth) I dry the glass with. Never any streaks.
 
I have tried literally a dozen different types and manufacturers and the best I have found on glass is the CarPro GlassFiber microfiber towel

Its the one in the last / bottom link in post #5 in this thread
 
Another vote here for the Rag Company's "Dry Me a River" glass towels.

I blow off the car, then dry with a 20x30 Gauntlet using drying aid.

By this time my windows are already quite dry, but I like to use the Dry Me a River towel with Stoner's Invisible Glass to remove any drying aid residue and get them streak free.
 
If you want to dry glass after washing before cleaning with glass cleaner, the regular 16x16 PFM’s.

If you want to clean glass streak free and if towel drag on windows annoy you…. Griots “Crinkle” glass towels. For me they were way better than the dry me a River.

Alot of folks had grabbiness problems with Griots Ceramic Glass Cleaner. Smooth as butter with these towels.

Only complaint is there 16x16 and 2sided. After wiping with crinkle side you have to refold to use flat to buff.

Took me a minute to come up with easy solution and that is to use two. Fold one crinkle side and one smooth.

Can’t imagine a better glass towel but will order a CarPro next order to compare.

I bought 2 of the CarPro ones. It's fine, but it's big and it has some padding to it, making it harder to reach corners of windshield. They also end up rubbing surfaces around the glass due to size. I actually have one I use sporadically and one is still in the package.
 
I've been happy with the Griot Crinkle cloths with a final wipe with another towel, Rag Co. FTW twist loop.
