Griots garage PFM Terry Weave Towel Mini-Review

BadgerRivFan said:
The PFM terry weave towels are great and very versatile. The 16x16 2-packs are the most popular size, but the larger drying towel uses the same terry weave microfiber material.

I see that Griots has now reduced the price of the 2-pack 16x16 towels to $19.99 on their website and in their catalog (down from $22.99), so when purchasing through AG don't forget to price match and "stack" your discounts when AG is running a sale!

Can a 2 pk (16x16) dry a mid size sedan or would a larger towel be better?
 
I have no problem drying a midsize car with one 16x16 PFM towel. Great towel IMO.

I don't think you'll need to wring it out. I used a big towel & couldn't get any water to come out of it. I'm also going to purchase a smaller one to use on my painted bumpers. big one might drag on the ground. my only problem is where to leave the towel for a couple of days so it can dry out. if Clark Griswold would have had a wet PFM towel when He crashed the family truckster He would have been fine.

Well since so many are saying that you can wipe down a mid size sedan with one 16X16 towel without wringing it out, I have to try it out. Just ordered a 2 pk. and see how it goes. And yes I will use the sheething method after rinsing.
 
Has anybody compared these Griot's towels to the Microfiber Madness equivalents? They were the first ones to make expensive towels that never disappointed. Unfortunately AG never sild them. I can't imagine that the Griot's are any better than the MM Dry Me Crazy towels. They're probably identical in performance. I'd love to see that comparison.

Just used the PFM towel on a Altima and it didn't quite dry the whole car. Last section to dry was the front grill and bumper..it started to streak. I must say that I was still impressed with how much area a little 16X!6 towel would dry. Since I bought a 2 pack, I'm sure 2 towels will do the job.

Do you think the larger towel would've been a better choice? Or are you completely happy you bought the 2pk. small towels?

I have and the MM towels are much better IMO. On my recent AG order, I purchased the big blue drying towel. I have not had a chance to try it yet. It seems to be similar to the MM towel. Hopefully it works just as good.

I would imagine that the larger PFM would he heavy when wet and harder to handle. The 16X16 was very manageable and could be wrung out if needed.
Yes, the two towel pack suits me just fine,
 
I agree, they're just competing though. Cant beat MM towels (those Germans )
