Absolutely :xyxthumbs Both are 100% in every possible respect. They're the kind of companies (and individuals) that I like spending money with.
Rob Tomlin said:
Yeah...good catch. They might not be too bad if you a) get almost all the water off via other means first, and then b) give a little spritz of QD, and then c) buff buff buff until all the QD/residual water is (finally) gone. I've done that with MFs like those, and it worked OK, but it was *SUCH* a PIA compared to using a WW that I only do it when I have a very good reason for doing so.

What I was planning on using it for was the first pass after washing with ONR and then following up with a WW.

Ok, but why do you want to do that?
wanted to point out that the blue perl waffle weave drying towel is on sale for $7.88 (there are also other items in the hot offers and last chance clearance sections) and add the " autopia " code (additonal 10% off) and it brings it down to $7.09!

Just to slightly dry it. If I'm doing more than what might be needed I'd like to know and would be appreciated.

I've sometimes done something like that; I spritz my QD on the somewhat-dry panel, wipe most of the QD and residual water off with a Monster Fluffy or Shamrock, and then finish up with my PakShak Ultra-soft WW.
Using the plush MF that way offers a bit of added insurance against marring should there be any residual dirt on the panels (yeah, I know...there *shouldn't* be but, well, I still worry sometimes).
akimel said:
Agreed, overall it's my fave too, but with one qualification- I have a few WWMFs that *seem* to be basically identical to my PakShak Ultra-soft ones. Different color, but the same towel otherwise as far as I can tell :think:
I *think* this happens with other MFs too, which makes sense as there are only so many companies making them and I doubt that *every* vendor has their own unique specs.

i have the older blue perl waffle weave drying towel, and it's not even close to the walmart ones. the blue perl is bigger and ultra soft (the only ones i will use) unless they changed it, which to my understanding is just only the edging. i really don't care for the walmart ww's and if i wanted to use a small one, i would use the small sonus ultimate microfiber towel which is basically a smaller version of the blue perl but yellow in color with red silk edging...

I found a nice Peak WW at PepBoys for $7. It seems quite soft. They have a couple different styles so it might have been a discontinued style.

BigAl really knows his stuff when it comes to various products and suppliers. I do not doubt him for a second when he says the Wal Mart towels are not the same as the Sonus ones (which, btw, I have and am very happy with).

Yeah they are the exact same ones.
