COME AT ME BRO
About a month or so ago, Steve A.K.A. Pooroby PM’ed me asking if I’d like to try a “prototype” towel. I said sure, as I like being a guinea pig (actually I was quite flattered that he would want my opinions on a product). So here’s a few pics and a little write up of what I think of this new towel.
As I did receive this towel at no cost, I tried to be as fair and objective as I could with the review process. The fact that I have either good or bad opinions of this product are in no way biased by the fact that I received it at no cost. My sole objective is to pass on information that I have gathered through use of this product.
Packaging: No special packaging for this towel.
Price: $?.?? USD. I don't see the towel on the PB website, so I am unsure of a price. Maybe Steve will fil us in on all the details.
Availability: Available from Steve at Poorboy’s World, and (in time) I’m sure any of the other sponsors who carry his line.
Directions: No specific instructions were included with this towel. I did Email Steve (Poorboy) for some tips on use of the towel. My personal “best use” for the towel was to use as one would use a bug sponge – during the wash phase. Used with light pressure.
Product: When I first saw this micro fiber towel, I thought Steve had gotten hold of some of Fuzz’s gym shorts, because that’s what this towel looked like – a cut away section of those mesh gym shorts. It has sewn edges, which I am assuming are micro fiber as well. No tags!
Usage: I have had the opportunity to use this towel on several vehicles, and although the bug problem isn’t quite as bad down here in the South right now, there are still a few stragglers left behind. I tried using the towel a couple of different ways, but again my best practice is using it during the wash phase. I found it to compliment Bug Squash very nicely, as it can aide in removing some of the more stubborn bug remains. Actually, by using this towel in conjunction with Bug Squash, I have yet to find the bug entrail that I can’t remove. Even using it with no "pre-rinse" (Bug Squash) it is still effective at removing bug residue. After use, I simply rinsed the towel out, wrang it dry, and hung it up to dry. Upon further discussion with Steve, I washed the towel and have noticed no ill effects such as raveling of the sewn edges, etc.
Conclusion: I think this towel will be a hit with anyone who has to deal with a bug problem. For those of us who have to deal with one for 10 months out of the year, it’s especially nice. I believe it to be safer than a bug sponge, and I have yet to notice any marring that the towel has induced – and I have given it some pretty good pressure on a couple of painted bumpers. This towel is the perfect compliment to Bug Squash. I’m looking forward to getting to try it out in the spring/summer when the bugs are really bad just to see how much it really does decrease my bug removal efforts. Here's a few pictures of the towel in use...
