[@rossparker5158]

Pan, I have learned a lot from you videos. I bought this past spring, SIMONIZ Platinum Professional Microfibre PlushEdged Drying Towel, 35 x 25-in from Canadian Tire. I can dry all my small SUV at once. Works well. What is your thoughts on this towel?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

@@rossparker5158 I haven't tried their towel unfortunately. Thanks for the kind words about my videos Ross!

[@58leebee]

Hi Ross, you must have had the ones that actually worked as advertised. I purchased two of the same ones and had an absolutely terrible experience with them. They would’nt absorb water for love nor money. They seemed to spread it around more than dry it up. I use the Liquidator towels now and they are monumentally better. I’m glad you had success with them.

[@dayyule9435]

I have the chemical guys one from when I first started learning how to detail and it did the job. I've had it for about 8 months so it has lasted with out any breakdown. But I have been looking at getting something that does streak as much and absorbs more. This video helped a lot. Thanks Pan!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I'm glad my videos can help you make a good pick for future purchases. Cheers!

[@patrickdonahue777]

I've always liked to pick a drying towel that also has a smaller version of it that I can use for drying wheels and tires separately. In my case I use the Griots PFM Terry Weave Drying Towel you have in the video along with their 16x16 version (also 1120 GSM - a 2pk is $19.99)

[@MrBostonrobb]

So thankful for Pan and his channel!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Rob, I appreciate it!

[@lindavent9490]

Thanks for all of your great and informative videos Pan, I have learned so much from you. I purchased the LIQUID8R this past summer, and so far I am very pleased with it. Also, thank you for mentioning the cost in Canadian dollars as well. Always a pleasure to watch and learn from you 🙂

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your experience Linda! I hope you are having a great weekend.

[@PeterXaymountry1]

My favorite is the Griots PFM. I also have TRC Gauntlet and Liquid8R. I use the Griots PFM as my primary towel with Auto Fanatic 007 Gloss Enhancer and it works great. I use the TRC Gauntlets as the second towel to buff. I only buy the Griot PFM when it's on sale usually during Black Friday, it goes down to $32 bucks.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You have a great selection of towels there! :)

[@williamgarcia210]

I personally use the Chemical Guys towel and observed the same results which I found disappointing. Nevertheless it’s an excellent towel. A word of caution to all. Bigger is not always better. The bigger it is the heavier it becomes when wet. It also becomes very awkward to use.

[@TrVlogs82]

GYEON Quartz are really good.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I had the Gyeon in my previous test here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmiceZKapd2fi9E

[@billyschannel997]

And they sometimes drag across the ground😫

[@chrissemsch8781]

I agree. I’ve found myself folding the towel in half or quarters when I do the side of vehicle anyways

[@juansalinas6446]

You are correct, big towels are not always the way to go as they have their application. In Texas my customers love their trucks and full size SUV’s to include myself. I have small and big towels to use based on size of vehicles when I am drying side panels as opposed to roof, hood, trunks, etc.

[@johncarncross6488]

I use the rag company gauntlet after a quick blow dry. Love the results. Thanks again for your very informative videos.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@frank3722]

I tested several microfiber towels. If you compare the amount of water a towel holds every good towel will absorb about the same amount per ounce of cloth. If you want to absorb more, just used the gsm and convert the area to square meters and multiply. The one with a larger value will always absorb more.

[@garysantos9225]

Luxury microfiber is the towels are the towels that I love using as well as the sucker jr and the sucker lite

[@tomwest3878]

I used the Gauntlet for a long time and loved it....until I tried Luxury Microfiber's Sucker. Noticeable improvement in water pickup and retention. I also bought a Sucker Lite which has a softer fiber on the "non-drying" side to smooth out any topper you may be using. I am able to dry my wife's X7 with a single 20" X 32" Sucker Lite. Haven't yet tried the Liquid8r.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your experience Tom!

[@lisakoehler75]

I have the Rag CO Gauntlet 15X24. The size is perfect for me. I have small hands, so wringing out towels any larger is a challenge. It does a great job on my SUV. I recently received my EGO blower, so now I am using that but I still finish up some areas with the gauntlet. Thanks for posting another informative video. Keep them coming.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Lisa!

[@xxdemonshitxx]

I bought the Griot's Garage 40" for my F150 and was impressed at its ability to dry the whole truck in one go.

[@stephenjohnson1318]

Gauntlet is what I currently use. Another one I recently heard about from another detailer is Klin Microfiber. Haven’t purchased any yet though.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Hi pan I saw your interview the other day with hawk detailing at sema. It was very good. Nice to see a personal side to your business

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks I appreciate it! SEMA was so much fun!

[@muchachogrande2019]

I find that with twist loop drying towels they generally perform consistently great from the start, whereas plush towels they tend to do poorly at the beginning when they're bone dry, but after they've picked up a bit of water into all of the fibers they perform pretty much just as well as twisted loop. Osmosis is easier with the twist loop towels because the water is able to get into more fibers as they're bunched together.

[@tafl-9198]

Also the plush towels doesnt hold up as well. After a few washed the fibers often start sticking together.

[@David-Godin]

Great video Pan as usual. I was supprised that the Autofiber Dreadnought wasn't tested. I prefer it in the Jr. size but that is just my preference. Keep up the great work

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I haven’t had the chance to test the Autofiber towel yet. But a few viewers have spoken about it so perhaps in a future comparison! 😁

[@soapa4279]

I have two of these in 20in x 30in and been using it for at least a year now, still works great to this day. (The Rag Company Gauntlet)

[@fillflashdetailer8838]

For years, my favorite drying towel was the Griot's PFM. It is only recently that it was finally bested in my personal collection by the Luxury Microfiber Sucker. That's my new favorite, but in my experience, those are the best 2 on the market.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

They are both top notch performers for sure! 👍🏻

Thanks Jay! You have a great drying towel by the way. ;)

[@godowarus]

I personally have the first version of the gauntlet. Absolutely love it. I even have a few of the smallest gauntlets as my final buffing towels. Previously I tried the mammoth and found that it lints badly on my car despite being ceramic coated. I downgraded it as my shower rug for after baths and showers 😂

You do great, honest reviews. Keep it up.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

[@GeorgePap99]

Last summer I ended up buying Gauntlet by TheRagCompany, mainly because the last video you did actually talked me into it. Even though I mistakenly ordered the one that's half the size of the one in this video, it performs crazy well. Especially under the right conditions (about 25-30 celcius for me) I noticed that it would dry my car almost "no-drop-left" perfectly even with the not DI water I have in my house. Great video Pan, thanks again!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks George!

[@ElektrovaporX]

I’ve been using the liquid8r and of all the towels I’ve tried, it has the best absorption in my experience! Not the softest/plushiest feeling towel, but still super high quality as usual from TRC! Thanks for sharing, Pan!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Jeff!

[@gregcrezee4071]

Thank you so much, for saying the word.... subjective! I still use my Italian brand chamois for the paint. Microfiber on the windows is fine. Although my cost is $67.00 per piece. 3 vehicles, 33 washes each per year. They last a minimum of 8 years! Great vid!

[@scottbyrne4965]

Watched this test to confirm my experience with the Chemical Guys Wooly Mammoth. Can't even dry my Miata and leaves LOTS of lint behind. Looking forward to trying the Rag Company products.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

We're on the same page Scott. Yeah the TRC drying towels are top notch. Of course, always wash your towels before their first use. And don't wash microfiber towels with other types of fabrics from your regular laundry (clothes, etc).

[@piggietruckerjones7545]

I love these review videos Pan! They can really help people save themselves some money trying different things that may not be ideal. I have used a few of these towels and they're great. I currently use one from CarPro that I've found works really well and air dries fairly quickly between jobs. I primarily use a leaf blower on coated cars as touchless is ideal.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for being such a faithful viewer of my videos. Much appreciated feedback.

Great video Pan. I have used two of the five towels on the video, the Gauntlet and the Woolly Mammoth. The WM is ok but takes a couple of passes to dry. The Gauntlet on the other hand is awesome! It dries on the first try. I will be purchasing the Luxury brand drying towel as it did a great job.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your personal experience with the towels Juan!

[@Gumshoe88]

Pan - have to share with you and everyone! After seeing your take and a few others on drying towels, I chose the Liquid8r and could not be more impressed! After washing cars, I used the 24x36 to dry a Tacoma and a Highlander and it still felt as if I could have done more! Keep up the good work!

I’ve been using the Liquidator for a little while now and I find it to be a great drying towel. I have the mid size and two of the small size, just the way they came when I ordered. The mid size is the main workhorse and the small ones are used for the final drying of those little drips that seem to wait until the bitter end to show up! Combined with P&S rinsesless wash and the UBS, I can get my car done in 30-45 minutes. Thank you for doing the testing and crunching the numbers, I’ve learned quite a lot from your videos!

[@danielsellers3959]

Thanks Pan for another great video. I myself use the griots pfm. I'd like to add that they also have a 16x16 and it's extremely versatile. Maybe consider noting the weight before and after the drying test to further the statistical side aspect, of your test.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing

[@TheBreakfastLover]

Can vouch for the Gauntlet. It's not the highest GSM but the hybrid-weave pattern makes it better and more efficient at absorbing water.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@brianhickey5949]

An excellent review. As I am a buyer of many drying towels, I have most of these in my cabinet. I have come to a similar conclusion, although I rated the Luxury Sucker in a tie for second. It is more expensive, but it dries and dries and dries. Great process!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Brian!

[@remerson1]

Thanks so much for the informative video (as always!). I use the TRC double twistress and it’s amazing. It’s 20”x24” and I can usually use a single towel to dry a car that has protection (2 if it doesn’t). Just adding an opinion for a different product but the twisted loop can carry more water so that may be part of the reason they performed better. Thanks again!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for watching Ron!

[@scouseruk1210]

I've only used the Rag Company Liquid8r out of all these but from my experience I have only needed this 1 so far. I got the bigger out of the 2 and I make sure to wash it as expected and so far I do 1 pass over the main panels of the car and it pulls the excess water off with ease. The size of it easily does my whole car (BMW 1 Series) so overall I'm really happy with this purchase 😊 Keep up with the quality videos Pan they're much appreciated.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your real world experience!

Thanks Archie!

[@FloridaisFree]

Great job Pan. All great products.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Julio! What drying towel do you use currently?

[@pipedreamin]

I have a sucker and a sucker jr. I use the sucker for the wife’s minivan and it does the whole thing with no problem and is still sucking up water all the way to the end, and the junior for my motorcycle. The sucker does get pretty heavy toward the end. If doing it over I would probably just get 2 sucker jr’s and use both on the van and alternate on the moto but regardless I can’t recommend the sucker line enough - I love them.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

They are great towels no doubt!

[@jlb3675]

Thanks Pan, even though I don't need another drying towel right now but after all I should probably treat myself to a Christmas Present!!

[@neilwalker5041]

I really appreciate this video Pan and all of these towels are light years ahead of a chamois. I personally use the Gauntlet for everyday drying and a waffle weave for drying around emblems and tight nooks and crannies. The Rag Company does have the 1500 which looks like a beast of a towel. Perhaps one day someone will develop these microfiber towels into shower towels and wash cloths which I would definitely buy. It would be nice not removing all of the lint from the dryer todays shower towels leave behind. One last tip is to make sure and wash your towels after using a drying aid because it will cause streaking the next time you use your towel. Thank you for the video and I hope your doing well!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing Neil! And yes you are right about washing the towels after use. I always wash all my towels after each day of use.

[@donjohnson1416]

PFM also has a 2 pack of 16x16 for $20 usd. They are great for touchups or small areas. TRC Double twistress 20x24 also has a 2pk for $28usd.

If only this video showed up before I got the Chemical guys Wolly mammoth. I used it for the past 2 months and I hate that it leaves streaks.

I have both the CG Wooly Mammoth and the Griot's PFM. In my experience, the Griot's towel edges out the Chemical Guys towel, though only slightly. I own a Ford F-150, so I find the large size towels useful (that's a lot of sheetmetal to dry!). Thanks for the comparison.

@@PanTheOrganizer I was actually about to purchase a Woolly Mammoth and decided id check out some reviews beforehand. Your video was on the recommended when I googled it so watched it, changed my decision and found one that I think will work good for me (the Gauntlet). I have done detailing for a couple years but it was at dealerships, so relatively cheap products were all that we could get our hands on. Will be diving into your page to get some more knowledge on better products for my own vehicles

[@imoladreams]

I purchased the Rag Company Liquid8r as per your recommendation, excited to try to this out for residual water spots after using the leaf blower lol.

I have the CG waffle weave and some a gauntlet but the waffle weave seems to push water from the start and I use a drying aid but the gauntlet dries better even with drying aid. My biggest thing is at first it dries well but how well does it soak up after you clean the 90% of the car and you are almost done how much more can it absorb that’s the towel I want so which towel would you suggest does the best for continuous absorbing/drying power for a whole car or suv.

[@Ozzcaddy]

G'day Pan, I have the original Rag Company Gauntlet in 2 sizes 24x15 and 12x12, I have 2 towels of each size. The 24x15 is easy manageable for me and the 12x12 is great for door handles, door jams and the various channels to get in and dry them. Great test.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

G'day Ozzcaddy! Hope you are doing well mate!

[@draz7905]

Mammoth and Gauntlet are both popular,, but the Griots is one I haven't heard if until today. I've been using Luxury Microfiber's Sucker Jr. It's plenty big enough for my Veloster and it's was a huge upgrade from the fluffy high pile towels I had from O'Reilly Auto Parts. Use their waffle weave to pickup any leftovers, windows,, and door jams. Then I don't even remember how I got it, but I somehow acquired a small 16x16 twisted loop towel, dark gray on one side and scarlet on the other, but that's perfect for wheels!

[@jeromelebel9486]

I have been using Mcguiar’s Water Magnet for a few years. From what I see in this video I should get better results with Rags company products. Will definitely try one next summer.

[@dallas77us]

New to the detailing universe. Great videos. Thanks. Viewed several channels on the subject of drying towels and no one seems to mention what to do if they become saturated and more drying has to be done. Can you just wring and wring 'em out until water stops dripping? Dumb question, maybe. But reviews so far I've seen are spread it out, slide it off one time and, "Yup. Picks up water." Kudos to you for responding to ALL your vids, not just the most recent ones!!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the positive feedback! I appreciate it. You can certainly wring out the towels, but more for the smaller sizes. The ultra oversized ones (for large vehicles) are harder to wring out, but on the flip-side, you shouldn't really have to wring them out as they can absorb a lot of water and you should be able to do the entire vehicle. And if you are towel drying, it's always recommended to use a quick detailer or drying aid as a buffer between the paint and the towel (less chances of marring as the drying aid acts as a lubricant) and that also helps with picking up water. Or the best scenario, if your paint is protected (wax, sealant or coating) is to use a car dryer or leaf blower (like I do) to quickly go around the vehicle. That removes 95% of the water in just a few minutes. And then you can go over the paint with a towel and drying aid to pick up the residual droplets of water and give that final touch of gloss/slickness. That's what I do. Welcome to my channel.

[@richardseem7948]

Imo it would be the sucker .but as u stated it's subjective

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah many great drying towels now. That’s how far microfiber technology has come.

[@floydboyce274]

Thank you pan love your videos🙌🏿

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Glad you like them! 😄👍🏻 Thank you!

[@adamwalker9640]

I have CG and your results are accurate. I got my towel for Amazon Prime day, so best bang for the buck. I like the size. I have a pearl white car, perfection not needed. Probably not the best towel for a black car.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your experience Adam!

[@carlosdeno]

Great video content as always Pan. 👌

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks man!

[@bdinnerv]

I have been using the RapidDry Towels Original, love it.

[@richardseem7948]

Awesome video/product comparison brother.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@patrickschutte]

The Rag Company Gauntlet for the car and Liquid8r for my vespa and door frame from the car , i love the sizes from them 16x16 for the vespa is more than enough and 2 off them i do my mini cooper with

[@milanjurich1526]

Key point … grab a twisted loop microfiber towel for drying and consider cost!

[@douglaszylstra6942]

I've had the earlier version of the Gauntlet for a couple of years and have been disappointed in the performance as it left streaks. On the other hand, I have the Sucker Jr. and can dry my entire sedan or my wife's compact SUV without needing to wring it out or use a second towel. No drops, no streaks. It should be noted I used Bead Maker as a drying aid.

[@ShermanMR2]

I absolutely love the luxury microfiber drying towel.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It's great!

[@thiquelee]

I love the liquid8r. I have a few of them and I use them to dry my cars after wash. I love the value so I'm happy it won.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@sc6015]

I just got a drying towel from 1320 video and it looks to be made of great quality also made in Korea. Can’t wait to give it a try. 👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

1320 video? What is that?

[@Greg-fk8ky]

I use the Griot PFM on my black paint in combination with AMMO Hydrate Paint Moisturizer with very good results. It’s been a great towel and I can do the whole car with one. When my towels need to be replaced I will definitely check out the Rag Company one you recommended. Pressing the towel down onto the paint is a very good idea and one I will use from now on. Thank you for the video.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for watching Greg!

[@NerdyFamily]

Great video, Pan! At my company we have used 3 of the top 3 that you picked and we agree that the rag company makes the best pro detailer drying towels. There price is top and the product is always great. For any DIYer those really big towels are great too and if it's just your vehicles you work on the price is there as well because with proper care you should be able to get years out of them.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I agree! Thanks for sharing your personal experience with the towels. I always like to have my viewers' feedback.

[@lsantana954]

love the liquid8r towels, i use them with a drying aid after using my leaf blower. my only complaint would be when the twist get caught on emblems or sharp edges they come apart very easy. I just cut those strands and keep it moving.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah it's typical of twist loop towels if a fiber gets caught on sharp edges, but you simply cut it off and you can continue as you noticed. :)

[@KonstaNykanen]

All the twist loop towels did amazingly well. Judging only by performance I really can't pick a winner between the twist loop one's. I think my choice would still be the Gauntlet 2.0. In my opinion it's the perfect blend of reasonable price and high quality. Great work Pan, as always👌🏻.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@KonstaNykanen]

@@PanTheOrganizer 👍🏻❤️

[@scottcrawford3745]

I have a pretty high pile of drying towels from many manufacturers...And they all work pretty well, but I'd have to say my go-to towel seems to be The Rag Company's "Double Twistress" at 850 GSM, because of it's handy 20"x24" size and ease of use... It's very absorbent, not unwieldy, folds well during use, and is still 1-handable even loaded up. Alcantara/ suede edges, nice thickness, smooth sliding. Just about everything you could ask for. Close second for me is the "Liquid8r" also by The Rag Company, but I find it's 1100 GSM pile just a bit too thick even in the 20"x24" size to 1-hand when it's full, but they do make a 16"x16" which I will likely order a pair of for this coming spring. Honorable mentions to the gorgeous Purple Maxshine 1200GSM Microfiber Drying Towel in 24"x35" which is among my favorite large-format "drag-style" drying towel. I just find these larger towels are more clumsy to use doing doors and lower panels, splitters, diffusers and things near the ground... dragging the tips or edges of your drying towel on the ground are just asking for a scratch, so I definitely agree with your preference for the smaller sizes. Keep up the great work and the amazing content!! I've learned so much from you, and have been entertained at the same time !!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The Double Twistress was in my previous test here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmiceZKapd2fi9E And yes that's a great drying towel too. Thanks for sharing your experience Scott!

[@10r80Coyote]

I love the sucker from luxury microfiber! It does my whole mustang without leaving water behind or streaks

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah it's pretty good!

[@moderndetail902]

Twist loop are the best. We use Gyeon silk dryer and it’s amazing! Huge towel as well !

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I had the Gyeon Silk Dryer in my previous drying towels comparison video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmiceZKapd2fi9E

[@kimnewling5728]

Oh yeah, the Gauntlet is pretty incredible. I took your advice awhile back, and I'm very, very happy. Cool part is that you need more than one if you do multiple cars. When ones in the wash, pull out another. That's where the price point comes into play. Don't go broke buying superior towels. All the different sizes really helps too. Very good review, Pan. Thank you.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Kim! :)

[@Vanhamj1]

I've used the Griot's PFM for the past 3 yrs. Outstanding towel. One towel easily takes care of an entire vehicle, even large vehicles. My only complaint is that the twisted loop snags pretty easily. I'm seriously considering trying to Gauntlet though, just to lower my cost per towel a bit.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your experience Jeff!

[@bmitchdabutcher]

Hey just came across your page and love the in depth reviews. Just saw your adams graphene ceramic coat video. I found all products that I’d like to use but I’m struggling with a polish to remove the dealer scratches. Any recommendations?

[@frankcardenas3896]

I’ve had Luxury Microfiber Sucker for about 18 months. Great towel and still dries just as well as the first time I used it. I’ve also had the PFM and seems that after about a year it’s not as effective at drying as it once was.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah the Sucker is a great towel for sure! Good pick!
