Largest Size of MF Towel You've Found ?

[Debelli]

What's the largest MF towel you've been able to find?

Has anyone bought one of the gray colored MF towels?

Thanks for any input. I've found a big MF and a pretty good WWMF but I'd like to know what else may be out there that I haven't discovered in my searching the web

Personally, there's a point where I would feel uncomfortable using too big of a MF. The big blue drying towel from PAC (20" x 40")and the Microtex Drying towel from Wal-Mart (which is a little bigger - I think 24" x 40") are about as big as I would feel comfortable with.

:yeah Bigger isn't always better!

I prefer to use smaller towels, as I find the larger size (24 X 40) are just too big for my hands to use effectively & safely.

PAC has some very nice & soft grey WW towels that are 16 X 24, which I find great for drying the car with S & G.

I also like PB's 16 x 16 Mega Plush for most other work, except window, for which I use his glass cleaning m/f's.

The Microtex at Wal*Mart is advertised as over 6.5 square feet and it is the largest MF I have seen/used.
Maybe it's because of what I started with, but the 16" x 16" towels are still my favorites. When folded in 1/4's, they seem to be just the right size for removing polish, wax or QD's. When you stop and think about it, the 16x16 gives you 8 wiping surfaces, each about 8" x 8". That's plenty for me to remove product from a vehicle.
I do have some WW, some larger plush, and the Wal*Mart giant as well as the 16 x 16 and I just use whatever is handy. I haven't been all that impressed with the WW for drying. They really don't seem much/any better than my regular MF towels. I still think I need to use at least 2 and sometimes 3 towels to get the vehicle dry.
I also use two when QDing. One to spread the QD, one to finish wiping the area completely dry.
While I didn't really care for the large Wal*Mart towels at first, I have been using them with S&W recently and they seem to be doing a pretty good job. I fold one into 1/8ths to make the first pass with the S&W, then do a finish pass with another MF to complete the job.
FWIW, I still use my cotton terry towels on windows, door jambs, underhood and trunk areas as well as for the wheels and wheel wells.
