Default BIG (little) BLUE DRYING TOWEL

Oh well, looks like I won't win the geeks contest for one to review..........


This is the "little one". Bought little and med, figuring the large was gonna be too big to handle and get toooooo heavy.

First ting you notice is how soft it is. (if you have the griots you know it feels "prickly")
Compared to Griots PFM:





Sticker is light adhesive not sewn.





I did rinseless with Uber, and tried to use as much solution as I could to see how thirsty the towel is:





1 pass with towel:









Different angle to show no streaks:











Now, if you've used the griots, you know that it is grabby on glass. Not so with Big Blue.
(and no streaks again)




















After entire car
Towel is barely damp, no drips, nuttin.








Oh well, I guess I am proof that Mikes' reviews work, since I bought it 30 seconds after seeing his thread....... (yeah, i'm weak)

We are all weak!

I purchased two Woolly Mammoths to test with my Geek bought PFM's which are still be favorite between those two.
The Big Blue resembles the Woollies, do you have one of those to compare?

No woolies..... But did compare it to pfm. Much less grabby.

Next time, it'll be 50/50 with a full wash, not rinseless....

Thanks for sharing, great review will be purchasing to replace what I thought was a good waffle drying towel.
