Walmart has a new selection of microfiber towels and they are definitely targeting a more premium audience. For car detailing and basic car washing, a good microfiber towel will help you get better results with less effort. Microfiber towels come in tons of different styles, weights, blends, and sizes but how do these new premium microfiber packs at Walmart compare to the competition? In todays video, I will weight these towels to test the GSM, look at the blends, go over the specs of size and constructions, and give you my honest opinion on id these are worth buying... ENJOY!!!

Not gonna lie, I bought and tried the 1000 gms drying towel … works just fine. Not as smooth as my Gauntlet towels but they do the job.

[@ivettenegron2624]

I bought the 1000 GSM towels about 2 months ago and love them. They dry well and the towel does all the work. I only have to use one towel for drying my car. Josh, this is the towel of choice and you will not be disappointed. Thanks for the review video.

[@MarkBrosz-nl2qm]

Your insight is very much appreciated,really enjoy all of your testing!!

[@prodwavvy]

wow the difference in gsm of the final finish detailing towels is very interesting to see. very good work josh!

As usual you provide your no BS, honest, call it as you see it testing and observations which is both usuful and appreciated. Thanks for your efforts and support Josh.

I like the drying towels. I love the size for rinseless washesband they Absorb really well. I might try the glove for wheels since I am left handed 😊

How about a video of you trying them out and see how they perform? Maybe also see how they perform after they are washed?

They do that on things that get stolen frequently, it’s all computer generated on what’s locked up.

Thanks for the video!!! You would think with Walmarts buying power that they would buy a better product but in my opinion their automotive buyer doesn't know what they are buying!!! Thanks again hope all is well in your world!!! Stay safe and well!!!

[@DavidRuiz-nb9fh]

Great video! Would love to see a video of the Walmart drying towel Vs The Rag Company Liquid8r & Gauntlet

[@martinez5195]

No contest bro. Rag Company drying towels would blow these outta the water (pun intended.)

[@vito1785]

The 1000 gsm drying towels are good, obviously not the best, but worth the cost and obviously the convience of just having to walk into a walmart. Make sure you wash them first, can't believe how much the red bleeds. I had to run them through two wash cycles. If you're in Canada, the 1000 gsm twisted terry drying towels are the same as Canadian tire's Simoniz Platinum Twisted Terry Drying Towels that they sell for $24.99. Walmart selling for $9.99.

[@shepardsmith3235]

Big thanks.

[@mattmccauley5561]

I have the other ones they have of that brand the blue drying towels and I have no issue with them at all and I use beadmaker dreammaker mix as my drying aid. I use the towel every week. Had it for a year. Still drys just fine and I paid 8$ on sale for 1. I have the detailing towels as well and those are a different story. They work okay for everything but paint. They leave so much lint behind and I've washed them with rags to riches and now I'm using Malco but they still kinda suck. Drying towels have been really good for me..

[@frog7118]

Wanna see how well they work. not what they weigh. They're not Rag Company towels, but nobody else is either.

Both side can clean the wheel Kinda nonsensical to say it's not worth it After cleaning wheels w gray side, I am not putting red side on paint lol. Its common sense... no matter what hand u use, its good glove

Great candid review on specs but did you try the towels?

[@adventurefixn]

Man you have a nice Walmart 😂. Our selection is embarrassing.

[@reeb9016]

I'd like to see the variance in weight of 4 "quality" towels. I think they won't be that consistent either. At least it's worth proving.

[@matsudakodo]

Seconded

[@Gladiator1972]

Those gloves could come handly when washing wheels, especially with lots of spokes.

[@Nonx47]

If you're looking for a good set of microfiber gloves, look no further than Car Pro. I got a pair, and they run a little small but they're amazing.

[@ak2112]

The big drying one looks a little like the Grants drying towel from Harbor Freight. Recently picked one of those up for $3.99 and it's decent.

[@crxmovies19]

Suds lab is amazing

[@hpdkmay]

How do you wash your drying towels? Thanks for the Vid!

[@golfboy83]

Great video with good info, thanks! I do have a question though: maybe I'm a little old school, but why do I not see any detailers on KZbin that seem to use an Absorber type of PVA synthetic chamois? That's all I've used on any of my cars to dry them off or the past 15 years or so. I think I heard Scott at Dallas paint correction say that they'll scratch your paint, but they definitely don't! I like keeping it in the tube in my back seat, ready to dry my car if I go to a do it yourself spray car wash after work, or just ready to go in case I spill my drink in my car or something. I wash them with my clothes, and throw it back into the tube, always keeping it moist.

[@matsudakodo]

Same here. They moved from chamois (like the Absorber) to waffle weave microfiber because the standard microfiber towels don't absorb anything, now those are out and the thick terry loop is back. We can blame the polyester fiber cartel.

[@Danjr704]

I just bought the 1000gsm. After the first two passes from top down it dried well with no streaks, but after that the towel absorbed so much that it wouldn’t dry anything else regardless of how much I wring it out. Curious if you’ll make a video of you actually using the product rather than just weigh them.

[@hdsnow7049]

You like watching guys toweling?

[@Danjr704]

@@hdsnow7049 I’d like to see if a product does the job it’s advertised to do. If he’s reviewing towels,and says whatever product is good just cause it weighs what’s label says it weighs, but doesn’t dry as well as it should then how could he say the product is worthwhile or not?

[@kingdave905]

Sams club has some new microfiber towels that are a 80/20 blend in a 24 pk size 16x24 you should do a review on those.

[@Dalonzo617]

Do you have any tips for cleaning aluminum, like old water spots, trying to get rid of the acid look it has. Its off a 1990 ranger, when they had the aluminum panels on the tailgate. Thanks.

[@MegaChevy25]

See I was looking at those 1000 gsm drying towels last time I was at Walmart and they felt like sandpaper to me, my Walmart was also selling a chemical guys drying towel for I think 20 bucks and I’d have to go look but I believe it was 1000 gsm according to the bag. I washed it with rags to riches before I used it and used it today while doing a rinseless wash on my truck and it worked great, it did feel a little grabby especially on the tonneau cover but it worked amazing, almost as good as the gauntlet. But those towels for 10 bucks for Walmart just felt really rough and sandpaper like to me. But I keep seeing reviews saying that are good for general purpose stuff. Just can’t get past how stiff the fibers feel

[@bryanjenkins6112]

I bought another roll of the blue towels. Use them for the inside.

[@derekbelton5932]

@bryan Jenkins yeah they are excellent for grimey work like polishing exhaust tips just toss em when you’re done

[@MrKevincase]

What towels would you recommend for applying quick detailer sprays and sprays like turtle Wax Seal N shine?

[@kenstudios]

How do you handle the lint from new towels? I bought several of these towels plus the $20 XL drying towel from Walmart but there's a lot of lint left that's visible more so on glass and it's kind of annoying.

[@richsmith3120]

I looked at them but the 87/13 blend just seems to rough or dry for me! But, they do carry CG towels now!

[@EvanFreach]

The lazer cut red ones bleed in a bucket of soap and I think the fibers came off, probably should wash them before using.

[@DerPic]

I have no interest in cheap quality towels but enjoy watching you test them out. There are better options for a little bit more like you said so I never found the need to cheap out on towels.

[@michaelm1739]

josh would you say these towels are on par with the Grants Towels (especially the drying towel) at Harbor Freight

[@dougwright2830]

I use norwex towels alot. My wife sells them. I don't know the GSM, but they're 70-30 on the ratio

[@user-lr6ie4wx4q]

You need to be careful when shopping also. I picked up a pack of “Pro elite” wax removal detailing towels. I failed to really read the package and only later found out that while they are microfiber towels they are 100% polyester so don’t absorb much water. Only 12x16 also so not much good except for dusting and maybe heavy use around the tires engine and such, to be thrown away when used up.

[@tattootony1122]

Im curious, so I know with many products like shampoo and process foods. Companies will produce their products with lesser quality ingredietns to allow them to sell what appears to be the same branded product in more of a boutique type of store to lower the production costs. Have you ever compared the brands that sell in Chinese quality stores like Walmart to the same product sold at a higher price say direct from the producer?

[@Juu_]

The glove is for wheels though not the paint of the vehicle. I have it and it works well. A lot of detailers use brushes on wheels. So I don’t see an issue with the gray side even though it feels stiffer . -thank you for the video

[@imjoshv]

yea i do agree with that! Especially if its standard silver wheel. But if its a gloss black wheel, the one side felt like it could cause scratching. I probably should have clarified that more. In most cases it would still be great for wheels.

[@matsudakodo]

Yeah mine are gloss black which means = factory painted. So same care as the rest of the car.
