Griots Garage PFM Terry Weave Drying Towel
"PFM Stands for Pure Freakin' Magic"

This 25x35 inches Terry Weave Drying Towel with 860 gsm cost $38.99
Is it worth it? Yes! Worth every single penny in my honest opinion.









23x35 vs 16x16 folded twice (to show you an idea how big 25x35 is)





This grey colored towel with silk smooth black edging with red stitching gives you really pleasant, luxury feeling for a towel.








Tradition waffle weave towel vs PFM folded twice, notice how much thicker PFM is?






Now lets see this baby in action!
Car was washed with pinnacle waterless wash as maintenance wash and I rinsed front of the car with hose for test.






But before I use PFM, lets see what waffle weave towel can do.....








To complete dry, I had to go over couple times or even three and this thin towel is already soaked with water.







Now PFM's turn......
This baby is so big, little big hard to hold it with one hand and take photo with other hand lol











Amazing result with just one pass!!






Lets try this again









Conclusion:
My first impression on this towel was, its so fluffy, very fluffy and heavy.... almost heavy as holding on ten 16x16 towels.
I am not complain about the weight, just staying the fact and I liked the heaviness, sturdy, felt like quality product (which it is)

Also drying was super easy and fun. I have tried different towels to dry a car, air dry etc, and PFM was the quickest and easiest.
it can hold a lot more water than waffle weave and just with one pass, you can get LSP ready surface.

I give this towel 5 stars!!!
:dblthumb2:

I've never seen a waffle weave virtually leave all the water behind. Lol.
Not till now of course.😏

Its from Rag Company fyi.

For me, a virgin [dry] waffle weave towel can dry just about any hood [the whole hood in 3 equal passes] with just laying it flat and pulling it across the hood.. Especially on normL sized smaller vehicles.

Might just be my old eye-balls; but:
From here...The towel on the left doesn't
look like a "traditional" waffle-weave towel,
like the one you're using in the below photo. :dunno:

I wasn't sure about all the hype on these towels, but I finally bought a couple packs to try them and they are Incredible! The only other towel that I've ever used that performs like these PFM's is the DMC from Microfiber Madness. And they cost about $6 more per towel. FWIW, I used only one 16x16 PFM to dry off our accord that doesn't have a great lsp on it. Great product for sure.

Haha Bob,

No! It's not what you think it is! Haha
 
I just received a Woolly Mammouth from Chemical Guys to compare to the PFM. Not sure when I'll get to testing but I'll let you know. The Woolly is a "Cut Pile" vs the "Loop" of the PFM on the right side.

 
Great review, couldn't agree more, I was a skeptic until I bought one.

Please let me now which one you like better.

I wanna know
 
Sorry for the delay!
I'll pay the extra money for the PFM. The Woolly does suck water but on the second wipe the PFM leaves a cleaner wipe. I rinsed off the drivers side of a C7 and wiped off with the Woolly and then rinsed off the passenger side and wiped with the PFM. The PFM takes two days to line dry in my basement where the Woolly is almost dry the next morning (both washed & spun together then hung up) I believe the secret is the loop weave of the PFM, it does slide easier on the Zanio finish I use and holds the water in better when you feel both when soaked. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Thanks for the reply!!

Yeah I also noticed PFM takes really long time to dry completely

But still one of the greatest mf towel out there!!

They are great. The drying time is a true reflection of how much water that towel holds.
