Love this towel
November 13, 2016
Love this towel. I did the wash/claybar/compound/polish/wax routine for my F150 this weekend. This was used in the drying after the wash and it worked great. No lint, held a lot of water and didn't leave a lot of streaks. I usually grab two towels and start the rotation of using one for heavy drying and a second for the final wipe. When the first gets soaked, use the second as the first and rotate in a fresh second towel. I can go through 8 small towels drying my truck. These towels were a little larger and were able to dry the majority of my truck with just these two towels and one additional small towel. Much easier. They are the perfect size and hold a lot of water.

Wasted money! They seperated at the seam!
December 1, 2017
They were soft when I got them out of the package and appeared they might have even worked for my new car if they wouldn’t have came apart before I even got to use them. I washed them before I used them. Used the delicate cycle and only used a tiny bit of soap but when I got them out of the washer I noticed 2 out of the six I bought had seperated at the seam, and since they’ve been washed I doubt I could send them back.

These towels are awesome! I was so surprised at how much water they absorbed and they cut the drying time in half from traditional chamois cloths. They also left a beautiful streak free shine on all of the windows and chrome on my wife's car. These are definitely professional grade auto drying towels.

Such a brilliant product. It is thicker than some other waffle towels. One towel is enough to dry my car. However, it is worth buying the twin pack. Honestly, as soon as I used it, I threw away my numerous chamois. There is a reason why professional detailers use nothing but these towels nowadays. These might be smaller than others on offer, but it does such a great job. I would be reluctant to buy any other waffle microfiber cloth. Highly recommended.

Have purchased 4 of these towels several months ago but just had an opportunity to try them today. They effectively and quickly dry without streaking or smearing the water this is in contrast to the Chemical Guys microfiber towels that I have used in the past but are not that effective. Will use the Zwipes to dry and have demoted the Chemical Guys towels to waxing or other tasks.

Never dreamed only one towel would easily dry an entire car, but this thing can, and still never needed wringed out, only damp to the touch. First test '14 Mustang, second test '17 Civic 4dr Hatch, same results for both, one towel easily dried and buffed car (NRWW). The Civic has huge honeycomb sections on the front and rear bumpers, very hard to quickly dry before spots set in, but this towel quickly sucks all the moisture out, leaving spot free bumpers. Now I have a dozen old towels to use as rags.

This is not the first waffle-weave towel I've used. I got into waffle-weave towels after I got one for drying my car and I noticed that small towels don't really cut it and they needed to be wrung after wiping a little water which is great that they are absorbent. I was blown away after I used the first waffle-weave towel to dry my car and I only wrung the towel 2-3 times compared to a regular towel which is 9-12 times. I also noticed that these towels work really nice on glass and mirrors and they can do very light polishing as well. After that, I've decided to get a waffle weave towel to replace using paper towels in the kitchen to be more environmentally friendly. They only take two wipes and my hands are dry which is amazing! From what I read on the comments, people say they don't last and fray easily. I will keep everyone posted and see how they work out for me. Since I am not using these on my car, they're a win for me.

Great for the price. I'm a hobbyist detailer and they dry well and don't leave scratches. I've washed/dried these over a dozen time in the laundry machine and they are holding up great. I have other name brand towels that cost more that are falling apart. I plan on getting more when these start to wear out.

These are awesome. I grew up using a chamois to dry cars, but that method is now out of date and it's easy to see why. These towels absorb a lot of water, ring out fairly well and clean up very well is the washer (be sure you don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets with them - and only wash with other microfiber stuff). I usually drive my car around a block to get rid of most of the loose water first, then I can do the rest with a single towel. It doesn't get caught on sharp objects (like windshield wipers) as easily as others I've used, though it does happen. I also like how the edges are wrapped so rogue fibers don't hang out. Awesome towels and I will buy more when I need to replace them.

Seldom do I review, but when I find a stellar product I gotta give kudos. I have been detailing for 50 years, many of those professionally. starting with cotton toweling, then real chamois, then synthetic chamois. And let me tell you: these and a silicone 12" water blade are the best way to dry a car ( okay, so I don't blow it dry). With the blade first, just 1 of these does the job ,even on a large SUV. No streaks, no lint, no scratches . And much faster. Did I mention no lint? Still advise using cotton toweling on wheels and wheel arches to keep these clean. BTW, launder and dry warm, not hot, just like other microfibers. Enjoy!

If you wash your vehicle yourself, get these towels!!
Even though i have microfiber towels, I ordered these towels specifically to dry my car, because they are the special waffle style that absorb and hold a ton of H2O. I was so excited and used these the very day they arrived. I had bought a new car and wanted to self wash. I knew i needed the right towels to dry my car with. What’s special about them? They are plush (not too thick, but the waffle texture does make it feel thicker than a regular microfiber towel), large, and WORK!!
I used two towels to dry my sedan. I know some people can probably use one, but I did not use any kind of a blower or squeegee type product to first remove excess water off the car. Using two towels and wringing them out was fine by me.
The towels dried the car well, didn’t leave streaks, and didn’t leave lint. I’ve never used a better towel to dry my car, but I’ve probably not been buying the right stuff. I love these!!!!
