AGers,

I recently purchased the Cobra Guzzler Combo Kit. For the past few years I was exclusively using the Absorber. But it started letting me down. For one, you would always have to wash the thing about 10x times before you truly "worked it in" to where it would really soak up the water and it would always streak the finish. There must be something else out there!

So I read about the Guzzler a lot, but was sceptical on how something that looked like a regular MF with pockets could be all that great.

Well, was I wrong.

The Guzzler is CHOICE!!! I bought the Combo Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/guzzler-microfiber-combo.html) and dried my entire truck with the 16"x24" towel. Yes, this is a full-size Dodge! I couldn't believe it.

Not need to go over anything twice and streak-free! Even though the towel was (very) damp after drying the truck, it did the job PERFECTLY!

Next time, I'll dry with the 20"x40" for even better results.

Let's face it: if you're drying with anything else, you're wasting time.

A 10 out of 10!!! :applause:
 
I was going to get one but had to spend that money on the G/f v day is comeing
 
I love the guzzlers, I won't dry with anything else. LOL ryan, a guzzler is more important than a made up holiday!
 
Thank you for the review, I have two 16x24 and I haven't used them just yet. Sounds like you did your homework on the Guzzler.
 
my guzzler was like this when i first got it


currently it does not work good at all

it leaves streakes everwhere and i have to go over the car about three times to get all the water off


did i mess mine up or anything?

Is your Guzzler brand new? Why would it do this? Does it need to be washed a few times?
 
Washed my SUV yesterday. The top turns into a lake when washed (Drain channels). Didn't have to stop once for a wring-out. Thank you "Guzzler".

You may want to use some mf specific wash and that should do the job. R u using it to qd too? If so that could cause it to clog up. I either use the mf specific wash or woolite to wash and add a cup of white vinegar during rinse to remove wax residue that could be clogging the pores.
 
QD clogs up the guzzler? That is weird... a lot use QD when drying!
 
I use a qd when drying also but some of the qd's have some wax in them...plus I always wash my towels after a use.
 
I personally wash everything when using it for the first time. I washed the two Guzzlers with a bit of Woolite and let them air dry.

I can see how a Guzzler wouldn't be perfect on a vehicle void of any wax or sealant, but man, that thing left my paint dry as a desert when I used it!
 
I have two of them. I cannot imagine detailing (or life) without them! I consider them my personal twins. LOL!

I use them all day long. For regular washes and rinseless. I simply can't stain or tear them!!!

I back this review 110%!!!
 
I always use the guzzler for the last 6 months. The best drying towel I have ever used, so much better than the Meguiars Watermagnet. Dries much more, much more softer and without any pieces of water left. Great stuff. I have ordered two new ones few minutes ago at Motorgeek (Partner of AG in UK).
 
Yes the Guzzler is a "must have"

Its right there at the top with ShMitt and CK QS
 
i wash it with my microfiber wash pinnacle

mine used to work like you all say when i first got it about a 1/2 a year ago


could there be something wrong with mine

i realy wish it worked like it used to
 
I'm really looking forward to finally getting this. I only have a tiny mazda3 hatchback, and I got the ultimate guzzler because it was half off. I don't think I need another one...:)
