Great for hair! Yep, hair!

September 3, 2018

So my review is a bit different. Those of us with long hair are always trying to find the best microfiber towel to cut our hair-drying time in half. Unfortunately, most microfiber towels specifically made for women's hair are thin, bad quality, and overpriced. Tired of spending my money on these gimmick hair towels, I suddenly had an epiphany one day to try a car microfiber towel. They seem to be thicker, better made, and have a higher GSM. After looking on Amazon a bit, I found this towel and decided to give it a shot because it was the largest (most car towels are way too small). This thing worked like a charm! When I first opened the package, I couldn't help but think "Dang, this thing is as thick as my bathroom mat!" But it absorbs water from hair EXTREMELY well! Ladies - quit wasting your money on overpriced plopping microfiber towels and just get a high quality car towel! I only wish this towel was a bit larger (I have hair down to the small of my back), but that's not worth deducting a star from the rating. Great product!

They don't make them like they use to!

May 10, 2019

They don't make them like they use to! Just bought this towel in April 19. Noticed it didnt hold nearly as much water as the one I bought in 2017. Then I weighed dry them to compare. 2019 towel weighed only 10oz vs the 2017 towel weighed almost 15oz.

Lint - lint

January 4, 2019

Size: 25 Inch x 36 InchVerified Purchase

I have had this towel for about 2 years. It leaves enough lint behind to make a sweater. I contacted Chemical Guys to make sure I wasn't missing something. The rep suggested washing it. I have washed it about a dozen times with their special microfiber wash. The rep offered no further assistance, no exchange or no sell me a new on at a discount to keep my business. Not satisfied with the product or customer support.

Terrible Towel

November 10, 2018

Size: 25 Inch x 36 InchVerified Purchase

Towel left a lot of lint on vehicle and I spent more time trying to remove it. Since it was not a smooth drying towel it seems like it left light scratches in my paint. This is really bad because this is my new car. I would like to hear from Chemical guys o. what happened and how can I remove light scratches fro. my car from using this towel I bought from them

Plush but wash before use.

Feels very soft and plush. Super heavy duty, can dry 2 full size cars without any wax. Gets really heavy when wet, will soak up 2 gallons of water if left in the bucket haha. Make sure you wash this before use, leaves a good amount of lint if you don't.

Why Did I Wait So Long?

August 4, 2017

Size: 25 Inch x 36 InchVerified Purchase

Bought one; then a week later bought another.

These are awesome towels. THIRSTY! I have a 2014 BMW 535 and one towel removes about 80% of the water, without spotting. Bought another after I realized a second one would give great results. I never thought I would spend this amount on "towels" but it is worth it not to induce swirl marks or scratches. I am a 30 year painter/detailer and always used a chamois. But always buffing and detailing got me thinking. So I made the switch. Change is good.

I will never use anything else. Ever. Wash them first, they lint if you don't. They are "heavy" when full so if you have wimpy arms, you may need to hit the gym. But, wow. Great towel...

Absorbs OK, leaves lint all over the surface

June 12, 2018

Size: 25 Inch x 36 InchVerified Purchase

After reading all the glowing reviews on this towel I was pretty amped up to give it a try. Got the towel washed it first and went to town cleaning my car. Then came time to dry. I was excited to use this towel so I pulled it out of the plastic bag and spread it across the hood. I used the pat and pull method. It didn’t absorb as well as people said it did and from the videos I watched on YouTube prior to purchase. Then I noticed that this towel left A LOT lint on the hood of my car. I thought it was a fluke so tried again with the same results. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I will be returning this item ASAP.

Best Microfiber Towel I Own Now

June 22, 2019

Size: 25 Inch x 36 InchVerified Purchase

As being fairly new to the detailing scene, I bought two of these towels to help me get my Nissan Murano dry after hand washing it. After unpacking them I was happy with the softness, fluffiness and feel. They do feel much nicer than any towel I have ever owned and feel that they are completely safe for my paints finish. I had read the reviews about lint and was a little bit worried about that, but have already bought other Chemical Guys products before, and had been happy with their stuff, so I got this anyway. I did worry about the lint issue mentioned, so I also bought some microfiber detergent to wash them before using. Once I received them I unpacked them, and my car was already clean, but I gave it a once over with the towels just to see if any dust or lint became apparent. Nothing happened. I then sprayed the hood with some water and wiped it down. I was happy with the result. The towel I used was barely damp, and dried my hood off super quick. I feel that after a full wash these will be great to dry my entire car. Even without washing them first, I did not get any noticeable lint left behind. I then gave them a wash with the detergent in hot water and dried on low heat as per the instructions. They came out super soft (but not any softer than when unpacked) The only thing about these towels so far is they are smaller than I thought. Not a huge issue especially if I can get my vehicle dry with them. I attached a pic of the towel on the hood of my car for a size comparison, as well as what they look like in their package. I do like them, and cant wait to wash my car and give them a try. My initial hood drying test and overall feel and quality give me a good impression. I don't think they will disappoint. I also feel I didn't have to wash them initially, but it didn't hurt to do so. If anything, just wish they were either a little bigger for the price, or a little cheaper as is.

soaks up the water.

I waxed my car a few days ago. Today I was out in a drizzly rain. Drops of water were beaded all over the car. I thought this would be a good test of the "wooly Mammouth." It dried my whole car without even a wring out. Amazing. Soaked up a lot of water.

Soft, nice size, and absorb water pretty well. They leave a lot of fiber behind when new.

March 4, 2018

Size: 25 Inch x 36 InchVerified Purchase

So I haven’t found any towels or microfiber clothes better for drying and wiping down my cars after washing them than Macy’s hotel towels but my wife for some reason doesn’t share my enthusiasm for using them so I am always trying new and different products. Chemical Guy’s wooly mammoths towels are a nice size. They do a pretty good job absorbing remaining water after blowing off the majority of water with a blower. They tend to leave a lot of fibers behind not so good for my black Turbo-S and Explorer but not noticeable on my silver 930 or my wife’s white car. I recommend washing them a couple of times before using them. Washing them a couple of times before using them seems to help with absorping water off the car rather than smearing the water around when brand new and noticeable reduces the amount of fiber left behind after wiping.
