Best deal on large drying WW towel

I remember when I used to dry cars with 100% cotton towels, and how easy it was.



Can you guys recommend a great quality large WW drying towel at a reasonable price? And where could I get it?



Also, I was interested to see some drying methods from people that have gone back to after trying a WW.



Thanks.

I bought a Sonus Ultimate Drying Towel but it doesn't leave my whole car spotless. I need to use another towel to do a second swipe once I get about half the car dried.
 
I tried loads of different towels & managed to pick one which I thought was the best! until my order was delayed a couple of days with excell due to the fact that a pc pad was not in stock so patrick included a free ww dry'ing towel , which not only out performed any of the other's but was also great to work with, Nice & light but mopped all the excess water up better than others!
 
My spreadsheet :o shows the lowest cost/sq.in for a large towel to be the Meguiar's Water Magnet (20x30") for the $6.99 I paid at Pep Boys (list price is $8.99). The next best deal is the Excel Monterey Blue at $9.49 for a 25x35" and So Soft Pocketed at $8.99 for 24x32, then it jumps up to the PakShak (25x36 @$12) and Poorboy's (24x36@$12). If you can live with smaller towels, the cheapest I've found are 16x24's at Wax Station and Wheel Waffles at Detailer's Paradise.
 
I just picked up a Megs Water Magnet WW at Pep Boys to compare to the $20 one I bought from SMP a while back. I am happy with the SMP one, but my family uses it too, so I just wanted to spread the workload. For $7, if it sucks....I wont be terribly upset.
 
Thanks! :bow



Well, I really like the Excel towel, but I don't need other stuff right now, and the $8.99 shipping just kills me...



So, I'll look around for the Meguiars towel at Autozone(we don't have a local pepboys here:( ).



The shipping's the worst part of ordering stuff online. I really want some Z2 PRO, but it's the same shipping cost. I'll just have to wait for their new polish to come out before I order it...oh well.



Thanks again!

And it adds an annoying nonlinear coefficient to the cost/in^2 equation in the speadsheet. :o

$8.99 shipping?

Patrick charges exact shipping. It wouldn't be $8.99 to ship one towel.
 
Not to restart this debate, but I have a Meg WW and it doesn't seem to work as well as the Vroom drying towel I got at Target for $7.49. I don't want to comment on the other Vroom products, because I have never used them, but for $7.49 with no shipping, the Vroom does a great job of drying the whole car with no marring/scrathcing or water marks and the retail availablity is great. Just a thought.
