Big Blue II Drying Towel

Anyone using the Big Blue II Drying Towel, I just ordered a couple.

Got them here:

http://www.properautocare.com/bigbludryint.html

I hope their nice...


By the way, I picked up a 24 pack of yellowish, Ultra Plush Microfibers 16" X 16" at Costco Yesterday for $9.88, just washed them and they look like they are pretty nice!

Most of the other ones I have are blue, so it'll be a little easier to tell them apart.

I use a similar towel from Poorboy's. The thing I like about Poorboy's is their towels are tagless so there is no chance at all that a tag would scratch your paint....if you are **** like me it matters. LOL

The BBII towel has an 'easy' tear off tag to my recollection -- similar to the ones that Meg's puts on their towels (which really aren't a bad racket for the price IMO).

How do you like the PB's towels... I've never ordered their towels (ha, this is one of the few places I haven't).

I really like them. I have been using them for a while now. They seem to have a good lineup of microfiber towels.

I usually cut all tags off anyway when I get new towels, Glad to hear the BBII's don't have any though.

Might have to order some Poorboys as well.

Thanks!

The Water Magnet MF towels from Mequiar's are really great. I used mine this past weekend and was amazed at how they really soaked the water up.

Thanks Harley,

Yeah, I just picked up a couple the other day, I have just been trying to look around a few places and find some better quality towels.

I have ordered a few some some of the places RP has recommended, but I still need to order some DF Concours towels they look nice.

Was at Sams Club the other day and picked up 24 MF towels for about $12, I use them for general purpose cleaning. They work well for cleaning the windors, applying Quik Detail, buffing the conditioner off the leather seats, etc. I also keep one in each vehicle to wipe up spills and keep one laying on top of my KR console to keep the body oil and sweat from staining it. Additionally, the wife has grabed a couple to clean mirrors in the house and one for use with the PDS (Pledge Dusting System).
Size wise they are about 15" x 15" each but for about .50 each they're hard to beat.

Thanks Harley!

I got kinda the same deal at Costco the other day, 24 yellow Ultra Plush 16"x16" microfibers 80/20 blend for $9.88 + tax. pretty good deal, cut the tags and washed them they look like they'll be fine.


RP, I just ordered some DF Concours towels, do you still like yours? Are they holding up well for you?

THanks.

Similar for me, too. Great fir general cleaning apps, and GREAT for cleaning glasses (that is, sunglasses, etc., but any glass likes MF's)
Great product for the price.

The DF towels are simply *THE BEST* that I've used... they are holding up well.
