I dunno there.... 10 towels for
fifty bucks... whew! I'd be more inclined to go over to Microfiber Tech and pick up 17 for 59 and change. That'd be 3 400gsm Korean edgeless split weaves, 10 360 dual plush (same as the Gold Plush Jr's), 3 530's (I like them MUCH better than the Cobra 530's), and 1 25x36 Korean waffle weave drying towel.
The main reason I'd not go for the 2 of this 2 of that is you just are not getting enough towels to get anything done. That is the reason I'd say get AT LEAST 10 of your most used towels, like the 360 dual-plush better yet get 20. It's not hard to use a dozen towels doing a car, especially if you're compounding and polishing. You don't want to use the same towel to wipe down the entire car, and you don't want to use your compounding towels to remove polish. Also, the same towels (the 360's) can also remove your LSP (sealant). Just make sure they are clean first.
I put the 400gsm edgeless Korean towels in there instead of the 470's simply because the 470's are out of stock. Although.... the 470's are a GREAT towel AND they are actually a 513GSM towel. Ian left the description up from last year (totally different towel) when they were actually a 470. The ones he's had since last fall have been well over 500 GSM for a long time now.
Given the choice.... I'd call Ian and see when the new stock is coming in. Wouldn't be bad to wait for those.
(OTOH, I've still got probably 25~30 that I've not used yet from my last order. And 20 gold/black 360's as well. )
Early last month (I think) I received a couple of the 25x36 Korean drying towels, a couple different synthetic chamois units, several different types/sizes of waffle weaves, some glass towels, and a couple super plush towels. I'm not one to use a lot of waffle weaves because I don't like doing a lot of wiping, (more blowing and then blotting) and because wiping tends to leave scratches/swirls I stray away from it whenever possible. But the Korean drying towels are AMAZING! I still blot with them, but they are very VERY good drying towels!
The Cobra Guzzler is one AG towel I like however.
It's VERY absorbent, and will dry any vehicle you could ever have without ever getting water logged.
Can't go wrong with the Guzzler or the MFT Korean units. Until I tried these latest Korean towels I'd not found a similar (waffle weave type construction) that'd come close to the Guzzler's by just laying them on the surface. Really easy though with both of them. Just place them out flat on the surface, gently lay your open hand on the back and very lightly rub the back of the towel. Do NOT rub the towel around on the paint just rub the back of the towel itself. Move the towel and *presto* the surface will be bone dry.
I can dry an entire vehicle with a single one of either of these towels. :dblthumb2:
