Why spend $40

Is it sad I would think about buying a 40 towel to dry my car but not to dry myself after a shower?

Fanboy, ignorant, marketing, bandwagon, it's gotta be the best if it costs that much...or were you specifically looking for logical reasons?:laughing:

I do think the substantial increase in cost is worth the incremental increase in performance in this case (though i have the 16x16 towels as I find they are easier to manage. I think this is a very common reason among detailers; we often accept doubling our time working to get an extra 5% or even 1% in finish quality.

Another reason? Some guys feel the need to try everything. I forgot who wrote the epic MF towel thread on the sister site and couldn't find it in a very quick search.

Fanboyism, hype, bandwagon, etc turn me off faster than a candle in the rain.

Totally agree with you though.

Excellent summation.
 
has anyone actually done a/an drying towel showdown? this is something I've been considering doing as i own quite a few different towels and really want to see where they stack up against each other in terms of water volume soak-ability, cost per sq. in. vs amount of water held, scratch prone when dry/wet, etc
 
the best thing to do is try the product in question out for yourself and determine if the price tag justifies it. everyone has different tastes/likes and what may not be right for you may be right for some...
 
Not that I own this particular towel, but there is an old saying that goes: "Sometimes you get what you pay for".


There will always be people interested in cheaper or knock off stuff. There will always be people who think they are "smarter" because they "saved" money not buying a premium product...

Guess it depends what you are into...

I have a 60" Insignia flat screen TV in my living room with all the "smart" bells and whistles... Not an expensive TV, but I'm extremely happy with it - maybe $700?

My friend has like a $3k Sony.

I can't tell any difference.

But cheap towels - I could tell the difference.
