Amazon.com: Customer reviews: The Rag Company Huge Dry Me A River 26 in. x 59 in. Professional Korean 70/30 Microfiber Waffle-Weave Drying & Detailing Towel

Top positive review

Great product from the Rag Company.

April 10, 2017

Let me start by saying that this company is top notch. I had an issue with an item and it was addressed relatively quick. In my field time is money and any defects can cause more issues than help. These are of high quality. No stupid tags to rip off. They seem to be of a high quality build that we all expect out of a Korean weave. I have no negative so far.
If this fails for any reason in the near future I will be sure to update my rating. I have not been paid nor do I work for the company that sells or manufacturers this product. I take pride in my reviews and understand that many people use these reviews in making their buying decision.
If this has helped you with that decision in anyway please hit the Helpful button. Thank you very much.

Not plush at all.

August 14, 2018

I was hopeful when receiving this towel out of package because it had a really soft feel and seemed high quality, but it did not work well in action to dry a car. The waffle weave is very flat, not plush at all, and it immediately filled with water after only one panel, and became a sopping wet mess that only pushed water around from there on. I had to pull out a generic Chemical Guys / Viking type microfiber to finish the job. I think this type of towel is better suited for buffing than for drying. The "waffle" seems more cosmetic than functional.

October 15, 2017

Size: 20x40Color: Navy Blue / Light BlueVerified Purchase

Edit: After using these for a few years now, I've updated my rating. These towels get softer and more absorbent over time and have ended up being one of my go-to drying towels.

I bought several different TRC towels based on their popularity with detailers. The "Dry Me A River Jr" towels are decent quality, but not as absorbent as other waffle towels I own and don't seem to be worth the premium price.

Good pile length! It almost feels like cotton

April 23, 2018

Size: 20x40Color: Navy BlueVerified Purchase

I actually bought these because I wanted a travel towel. I love the bright blue and the black satin edges. These have a very nice feel and look to them. They're maybe too small to use for a personal towel so I guess I'l use them for what they're actually for-- drying my car! (Or maybe I'll buy more for dog drying towels too!)
In one of my photos, I have the 'Dry Me A River' towel next to the Aquis adventure towel to compare the piles. I bought both to see which I'd like better for travel. The Rag Company's towels are better priced and have many sizes and pile types/lengths-- I just wish they made a crazy huge size like 30x70

Best Towels Ever! Super Absorbent! Highly Recommended!

May 27, 2018

Size: 16x24Color: Navy BlueVerified Purchase

These are hands-down the best towels I've ever purchased for drying my car. They are super absorbent, and perform better an advertised. I highly recommend these towels to anyone like me who doesn't just wash their cars, but details them. We have two cars, so I purchased two of these 3-pack towels, which work perfectly for car washing day (the 1st to dry the car, 2nd to eliminate any water spots, and 3rd to dry all the door jambs/trunk lids/gas lids/front grill/wheels, etc.

Great For Drying Showers

January 23, 2018

Size: 16x24 + 20x40Color: Light Blue / WhiteVerified Purchase

I use the large towel to dry my 6'x7' shower. The shower is so large spray from the head does not hit the walls but I do get splash up from the floor. I also get a lot of condensation on the two outside walls. Because my home is brand new I am being very diligent on maintaining the shower. I squeegee as much as I can but it is not effective on my tile. Then I use the towel. I don't just dry the face of the tile, I press hard into the grout to dry it. After 5 weeks I see no damage to the towel fabric or trim. I abuse the towel on grout and it does not show any ill effects and does not leave "fuzzies". I wish it was a little larger because it gets pretty wet before I am done. The 2"x4" tile on the floor do not squeegee very well so there is a lot of water to soak up. I definitely prefer this microfiber towel to using an old, cotton towel.

Follow method Rag Co. guys use in videos. Made drying my car quick, easy and effective.

June 24, 2019

Size: 20x40Color: Navy Blue / Light BlueVerified Purchase

The first time I used my new Dry Me a River towel, it was to give one of my cars a final wash before trading it in. I was under time pressure, and I'm pretty sure the Dry Me A River towel saved a big chunk of time. Following the method Rag Co guys used in their videos, I spread the towel out on the car's roof, and patted it down, then pulled it along the roof a bit and off. The roof was dry! Without a trace of lint. I then did the same on the hood. To dry the fenders, doors and rear hatch, I folded the towel into a rectangle about 12 inches square, and turned to fresh section of the towel as I worked on each panel. During all this, I gave the Dry Me River towel a quick squeeze only once, and wrung it out well only once when I was almost finished. It's amazing how absorbent it is. I then tossed it in the washing machine with a little bit of Woolite, and let it air dry on a basement drying rack. It looked almost new, except for a spot where it picked a little greasy dirt from the car. It did take a long time to air dry, probably because it still retained some water after the washer's spin dry cycle. (Our clothes dryer died a few years ago, and we found that we really didn't need it. So I dry my microfiber towels either outside in the sun or, in bad weather in the basement.)

Excellent replacement for my faithful chamois

June 19, 2019

Size: 16x24Color: Light BlueVerified Purchase

I have used a chamois all my life to dry my cars. I bought a 2-pack of the larger towels like these to try. I must say that I am impressed. They did a much better job of drying my car than my old faithful chamois. The only downside is that you can't wring them out. When they get full, they start to leave spots so I need two to dry my car. I ordered the 3-pack of the smaller towel to have plenty to do my car without having to wash them after every car wash. Excellent quality and very soft and absorbent. My chamois is relegated to doing my wheels only.

Perfect for streak free windows

April 20, 2016

Size: 16x16Color: Light BlueVerified Purchase

Fabulous for windows. Almost zero linting, easy to wash and dry, and my "go-to" cloths for windows. With that said, as a professional detailer AutoFetishDetail.com, I have about 5 different methods of doing windows as the weather, humidity, temperature, etc., will all play a factor in trying to get windows perfect. These cloths are as close to a sure thing as it gets.

Great drying towel

May 16, 2019

Size: 26x59Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

This is one big towel, as you can see, it covers nearly half of my bed.

It is capable of drying 2 cars.
It washes very well in the washing machine, and after a few uses, still looks great.
The only down side is it has a tendency to pull threads when wiping around panel gaps, so watch out for that.

The best application of this towel is on glass, as it leaves it dry and streak free.

Worth every penny I paid for it.

I love them. They are very absorbent and easier on ...

March 9, 2015

Size: 16x24 + 20x40Color: Light Blue / WhiteVerified Purchase

I've used these towels three times now to dry my car after a wash. I love them. They are very absorbent and easier on the surface than chamois cloths. I'm very particular about my car's finish and appearance. It isn't a show car, but I clay-barred it, polished the surface, and Opt-coated it. So when I hand wash and dry I want materials that work without risking scratches in the surface. And these towels do the job at a terrific price.
