Microfiber towels

Any experiences or opinions about these three microfiber towels for the outside drying of the car? Leaning towards the first option because of reviews on quality, and what I’m reading about lint from then wooly mammoth.

Do you have to hang dry these, or could it be hot wash with microfiber detergent and then low heat dry with no fabric softener?

The Griots is considerably more expensive than the others… can anyone verify if this is worth the extra penny?

Thanks

Those towells will definitely work for detailing, drying, etc.

Before purchasing please check out The Rag Company. I have been purchasing my towels through them for the last 7 years. Excellent quality, price, selection and customer service.

I’m thinking I might just splurge on the Griotts, hah

The rag company for sure make the best towels.

If you are looking for drying towels. I would check out the Korean waffle towels that they carry.

With that said. Your best bet is to get an electric leaf blower. It'll save you so much time.

Also I should mention. If you are down for a little more work. Using a topper as a drying aid is best. I personally love bead maker if you can give it the right curing environment.

Can I use the simple yellow chemical guys microfiber towels for windows? I have their window spray, which is supposed to be safe for tint. But noticed Pan the detailer wasn’t using microfiber on his windows, hah.

Micro fiber works for windows but it isn't the most efficient. You'll be wiping more times than if you had something with less plush.

Once you run out of the GC stuff, I would go for invisible glass in a canister. The dispersion pattern is second to none.

Invisible glass looks interesting, but seems like it might get costly for how much you get out of a can compared to the CG stuff.
