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.
Walmart new line of products aren't bad suds labs new products including their new soap like to see how that works. The towel line that you're displaying is pretty good I've used it for a year now.
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.
Any chance you can test the 16x16 Chemical Guys microfiber towels they have at Walmart? They're dark green, tag says they are 70/30 but no GSM mentioned.
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
Thanks for your observations, measurements, and analysis of results of these products. I’m not surprised by the results that you found in these products. In Josh We Trust. In WalMart not so much. 😂
In your video it looks like Walmart locks up the Chemical Guys products? I really hate waiting for an associate to get something for me that's locked up. No thanks. Thanks for the video Josh.
It really varies. I'm near Allentown pa, and none of the detailing stuff is locked but the power tools are. When I visit my family down in Lancaster pa, literally nothing is locked up.
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.
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!!!
Over the years, you have saved us alot of money, thnx. No more trial & error. I'm almost out of glaze & wax. Can you recommend a 12 mo. ceramic coating Maybe Can Coat?
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 TH-cam 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.
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.
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..
I just grabbed one of the chem guys speed mammoth drying towel and some of the turtle wax streak free mist minute wax and interior detailer. Excited to try those out
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 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?
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
*My dollar store sales DriversChoice microfiber towels. I've bought very EXPENSIVE microfiber towels to very cheap ones. THESE are by far the BEST microfiber towels on the market.* *Best bang for your buck without a doubt. They are SUPER SUPER soft and they hold ALOT and i mean ALOT of water.*
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
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.
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.
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.
WOW. I just saw these at Walmart and my eyes popped open like I hit the jackpot. Thank god I didn't get any cuz I knew someone would be doing a you tube vid on it. ANDDDDD, you just mentioned the Grant's towel at Harbor freight and let me tell you it was awful. I dried my car yesterday and it left lint all over my car. AWFUL!!. Please explain if I should have wet the towel first before use cuz again it left lint all over my car. Thanks for the vids Josh. I value your opinion. Thanks
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?
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.
The 4 pack edge less final finish towels really should be washed before use. The red towels especially are heavy in red dye and it really shows in the slosh sink when the washer dumps the water into the sink. Some of my older light colored towels now have a very slight tint. Sucks but as long as they weren't ruined and still work then whatever.
Hi....I have a Karcher K7, and according to the manufacturer it should produce 2.63 GPM and 2320 PSI...What kind of an orifice would you suggest to obtain highes possible GPM and PSI ?
Your talking about the new Platinum Series towels at Walmart. No I didn't like them at all. I liked the older Platinum Series towels much better. The new towels felt rough to me. I didn't like the quality of the towels period. The older towels felt much much better. I have enough of the older towels to last me for a while until have to get new ones. My Walmart Store where I live also carry Chemical Guys microfiber towels. They just got those in not to long ago. The new Platinum Series products are disappointing to say the least. Not at all happy.
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.
Yeah, I think it’s sort of ridiculous that your Walmart has to lock their Chemical Guys products up. No Walmart I have ever been to anywhere has theirs locked up. 🤷🏻♂️
@@imjoshv Exactly! I needed to get some new headlight bulbs the other day and I ended up having to find someone to announce it over the intercom instead.
Poor Walmart packaging choice. They can pick up dust and dirt just hanging on the pegboard or if they fall on the floor....They should have come sealed in a plastic bag.
i dont see the point of making videos to shit on off brands just to reccomend people to click your affiliated link that of course youre going to promote to make money off of even if you know its a equal or worse product.

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.
wow the difference in gsm of the final finish detailing towels is very interesting to see. very good work 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 😊
Your insight is very much appreciated,really enjoy all of your testing!!
Walmart new line of products aren't bad suds labs new products including their new soap like to see how that works. The towel line that you're displaying is pretty good I've used it for a year now.
How about a video of you trying them out and see how they perform? Maybe also see how they perform after they are washed?

I bought a hand full of the new towels there pretty darn good especially when your in a pinch
I’m using the liquidator by the Rag company, that is my favorite towel for drying. I got all the three sizes they make…lol
I just ordered that towel yesterday off Amazon. Can’t wait to use it.
They’re amazing and affordable!
Yeah, I was hoping the glove would be kind of cool because you can get in the spokes like you said!
I bought the drying towels a few months ago and they're pretty awesome!
The glove is amazing
Left handed ?
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
@serranosmobile are you left handed 😁
@Derek Belton I'm any hand
Thanks for your observations, measurements, and analysis of results of these products. I’m not surprised by the results that you found in these products. In Josh We Trust. In WalMart not so much. 😂

It might be from Chicago because I’ve seen two Walmarts completely looted
It really varies. I'm near Allentown pa, and none of the detailing stuff is locked but the power tools are. When I visit my family down in Lancaster pa, literally nothing is locked up.
@@kingpolo1920 I saw that too...horrible
The Walmarts in my area don't do have anything locked up.
They do that on things that get stolen frequently, it’s all computer generated on what’s locked up.
I have used these towels and I say they are excellent . Rolls Royce uses liquid Ivory hand soap to wash their cars . Inexpensive .
ill bet rolls washes their cars that have zero road grime or contaminants on them.
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.
Thank you!
I have the drying towels and really like them. Price is also decent.
Dont even have wallmart in Sweden. But i watch this cause its interesting and you break it down so well.
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!!!
Maybe think about what Walmart's mission is...decent quality for decent price. Not high dollar product.
Love these videos!
Over the years, you have saved us alot of money, thnx. No more trial & error. I'm almost out of glaze & wax. Can you recommend a 12 mo. ceramic coating Maybe Can Coat?
Check out Meguiars Hybrid Paint Coating. This guy helped develop it. It's a 12 month. th-cam.com/video/vk5nH2ncyzU/w-d-xo.html
Bought the 500gsm micros and let me tell you I'm loving those towels. Best quality towels in Walmart✅
Great video with good info, thanks!

I bought another roll of the blue towels. Use them for the inside.
@bryan Jenkins yeah they are excellent for grimey work like polishing exhaust tips just toss em when you’re done

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.
Great video! Would love to see a video of the Walmart drying towel Vs The Rag Company Liquid8r & Gauntlet
No contest bro. Rag Company drying towels would blow these outta the water (pun intended.)
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.

You like watching guys toweling?

I just bought these the other day but haven't used them. Wished I saw this video before I did.
I bought those drying towels and they are awesome
Awesome! They are a great value for sure
The lazer cut red ones bleed in a bucket of soap and I think the fibers came off, probably should wash them before using.
I bought the glove sponge dou not to long ago, seems to be good

I use norwex towels alot. My wife sells them. I don't know the GSM, but they're 70-30 on the ratio
Wanna see how well they work. not what they weigh. They're not Rag Company towels, but nobody else is either.
Thanks for taking time to do this review
you bet thanks for watching!
*My dollar store sales DriversChoice microfiber towels. I've bought very EXPENSIVE microfiber towels to very cheap ones. THESE are by far the BEST microfiber towels on the market.*
*Best bang for your buck without a doubt. They are SUPER SUPER soft and they hold ALOT and i mean ALOT of water.*
I love the locked up chemical guys 😂.
😂 😂😂😂
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.
Seconded

Yeah mine are gloss black which means = factory painted. So same care as the rest of the car.
Great video and information!
I looked at them but the 87/13 blend just seems to rough or dry for me! But, they do carry CG towels now!
Those gloves could come handly when washing wheels, especially with lots of spokes.
I got a set of those super fluffy microfiber towels they got at Wally world and I'm not a fan. They seem to leave lint
How do you wash your drying towels? Thanks for the Vid!
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.
Walmart near me just got a bunch of chemical guys microfibers and wash mits. They were cheap .
Great candid review on specs but did you try the towels?
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.

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.
get a chance a all new MJJC S V3? going around for $30 bucks in China now
Do you have a video on the Dreadnought Max towel?
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.
Grants drying towels are good , I use them and I get them at half the price
Big thanks.
Please tell us the formula you use to calculate GSM.
WOW. I just saw these at Walmart and my eyes popped open like I hit the jackpot. Thank god I didn't get any cuz I knew someone would be doing a you tube vid on it.

Was it washed first?
Unfortunately the Walmarts around me really went down on detailing products, great video Josh 👍😁
How you checked recently by chance?
@@NickVetter yeah I go to Walmart twice a month and always check out the detailing stuff
Im curious, so I know with many products like shampoo and process foods.

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?
josh would you say these towels are on par with the Grants Towels (especially the drying towel) at Harbor Freight
Suds lab is amazing
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.
Can you use that glove on wheels only??
What towels would you recommend for applying quick detailer sprays and sprays like turtle Wax Seal N shine?
Josh, try the towels from Home Depot and let us know what you think.
The 4 pack edge less final finish towels really should be washed before use. The red towels especially are heavy in red dye and it really shows in the slosh sink when the washer dumps the water into the sink. Some of my older light colored towels now have a very slight tint.

Same for any red fabric
@@matsudakodo not quite like these did.
Hi....I have a Karcher K7, and according to the manufacturer it should produce 2.63 GPM and 2320 PSI...What kind of an orifice would you suggest to obtain highes possible GPM and PSI ?
What’s the name of the scale u using?
Man you have a nice Walmart 😂. Our selection is embarrassing.
Those 80/20 rags scratched the crap out of my previous car after a few years of use. I had to spend 8 hours fixing the paint.
80/20 is usually fine but again it depends. 87/13 though is definitely lower that i like
Where do they sell good quality car detailing stuff at? Or is it all online?

yea exactly
Those towels look like the ones I see at O'Reilly's?
The red dye on the glove bleeds
I bought the 500gsm but the red fibers show on my car. Has anyone else had this experience?
You prob get different reading because of the cut. I bet its not cut the same exact size perfectly on each towel
Credit to my boy Carlos Serranos!!!
awesome
The red ones stained my interior
Bro I luv u
Yeah, I think it’s sort of ridiculous that your Walmart has to lock their Chemical Guys products up. No Walmart I have ever been to anywhere has theirs locked up. 🤷🏻♂️
