Super soft, and continues to absorb water (not just push water around) from start to finish without even wringing it out. Though it does get a little heavy toward the end of the job.

I had a difficult time deciding whether to spend $39 for a microfiber towel, however after using it I'm glad I did and ended up buying two. It's 30"x50"

what towel is this? Would love to try one.

I use nicer and plusher Korean towels for wax and sealant removal, but these cheap short nap towels are perfect for removing grabby compound and polish off the paint when I am correcting vehicles. I actually use the blue ones for detailing, and I keep the yellow ones in the house for dusting and cleaning.

These are also a cheap alternative if you are just doing door jambs and such. $1.00 each for 300gsm towels...

$.37 each if you buy in bulk from Costco:

I was in our Costco last week and they were selling a package of 36 towels for $3 off. About $.42 each. These towels are fantastic for the price and when they get messed up just toss them in the trash. Only negative is there are many better options if your drying off a vehicle.
