Drying Towel - What Have You Got?

[leeds2592]

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase another drying towel so I was just wondering what drying towels you all had.
I've currently got a I4D Uber Blue drying towel but I'm not sure whether to get another one of these or have a change and go for a I4D Uber Premium Yellow drying towel. Is one better than the other?

Cheers

That i4d uber thing Big yellow bugger. £10 each. Wash it in 30deg clean water, no detergent and it stays yelolow, and works. mine are a year old and are fantastic.

Not keen on The Big yello drying thing whatever is linked above i thought it was s**t.

Sonus Der wunder waffle are okay but i dont think they do the paintwork any good.

Won't go near the Der Wunder towels, they knackered my Clio's paint, but that was before I pat dried, so perhaps they are better for that.

That's the one I've currently got and its not bad but I think there may be better ones for just a couple of quid more.

Might give them a go when the I4D is back up and running

Don't want to be paying too much for something to dry the car with but I think I can spend a few pennies on something better than a poundland one.

Got a 3 pack of Megs MC drying towels on special offer at Halfrauds I think (yellow/gold in colour). Was either £10 or £15. Do the job nicely. Also have another of the exact same one from their clay kit. Have a small red one from the AG HD Wax kit and then a larger blue Turtlewax one I picked up somewhere.

Those are MF - Micro Fibres Benny. They won't dry as effectively as the ones listed above because they are not designed for that application.

AG microfibre drying towel, its quite good, used to use a leather, do leathers do bad to paint ?

[todd100]

i might get laughed at but would a good quality bath towel work? nice and fluffy and big so would dry a bigger area?

It would work, but it might scratch the paint work due to being too thin a pile and no MF properties.

even something that is deep pile?

It's still a risk lad. And to be honest, for the price of a deep pile towel, you might as well spend the extra few quid on an automotive specific towel.

I have a Meguires water magnet, but a bit harsh on the paint unless you dab it rather than drag it.
