The best video so far I've seen on car drying towels. Most people show their performance on perfectly coated surfaces, but Josh actually showed us how the towels do on different coatings as well as on an untreated area.
I’ve come a long ways from digging out a bath towel out of my mom’s linen closet as a teenager to dry my car( of course mom was pissed I used her towels) to having these dedicated drying towels.
I have six different brands of drying towels and my favorite is the Griot’s Garage PFM drying towel. If you look at it up close it has a twisted loop construction that provides superior drying. The weight is 1120gsm so there is lots of twist loop material to absorb more water. The plush microfiber towels are the worst for drying a wet car. The plush are good for applying and buffing spray detailers and spray sealants.
Good video. The hand feel of the gauntlet is amazing. I'd say a follow up test could include wetting the panel 6 to 10 times (to simulate a car) and see which one continues to perform. I know that's a lot of work, but you could easily squeeze a video out of each towel and do towel reviews in addition to the pressure washers.
I recently got the "Rapid Dry Towel" and have been loving it for how well it collects water. The mammoth is good as well. I like how that one can be used for multiple cars before really having to dry it
I use the CG Wooly Mammoth and the TRC Liquid8r (16x16) almost exclusively. I have several other drying towels, but I find myself going back to these all the time. I am truly interest in the TRC Gauntlet. Thanks for the review. Love the video! Thanks Josh!
I picked up a Gauntlet from TRC last year and it was a game changer for me washing my wife’s Acura MDX and my Honda Accord. I picked up another this Cyber Monday so I could wash both cars consecutively on the weekends. I love that TRC offers it in multiple sizes as well.
My favorite drying towel is the Sucker from Luxury Microfiber. I can dry my Dodge Challenger and still have drying capability left. It's better than any other drying towel I've used.
My first drying towel was the chemical guys Wooley mammoth. Works great on a car, but full size suv or truck and half way through the towel gets super heavy and impossible to wring out the water. After watching this, might have to order a twist loop towel to keep on hand
Waffle weave has always been my favorite for drying (and glass cleaning). They also take up less space for storage and I don’t mind using more than 1 or 2 if needed.
Great review 👏! They all look like some great options. Do you think using drying aids while using these towels would hinder their ability to absorb water over time?
In my experience, yes it does. I soak mine in P&S Rags to Riches for 24+ hours before washing my drying towels to try and remove any drying aid from the fibers. I'll occasionally put some Super Clean in the soak bucket with the towels, as well.
I’ve been wanting to startup my own detailing business for about a year now but recently I’ve been really motivated and have found myself with your Chanel while doing some research. You’re by far the best reviewer I have found with how detailed you are with the products. I would love to get this blower as I originally had this as a future update along with the towels as the gauntlet is going to be my go to after I saw your video. Happy holidays, glad I found your channel.
Dang. I bought large rag company waffle weave few years ago and still love it (I do a final rinse with about 3 gallons of store bought distilled water on my 911, and 4 gallons on Tacoma and MDX). Just washed all 4 of our cars over the weekend and still love the way the waffle weave works. The cars that sit outside I blew dry a bit with leave blower and leave them. The distilled water leaves very very little spotting, but not perfect. But you just got me to try the twisted loop. Lol
Another great review. I currently use the CG Wooley Mammoth for drying but I think I'm going to be picking up the twisted loop towel from either Griots or Rag Company.
Love this review! But I would highly recommend you look at luxury microfiber towels, their Sucker (the drying towel name) is amazing and I’m able to dry my entire Yukon XL with one towel! I think you’ll love it and might even become a new favorite!
I have used the Chemical Guys Woolley Mammoth and it was ok but then purchased the Gauntlet and love it, I will try the others on the video to see which one works better.
I personally love waffle weave they also dry the glass very well, have to use about 2 per vehicle but they do perform nicely. Just picked up 2 twisted loop from my new favorite company and excited to try them
Thank you Josh, the MJJC foam cannon and Gauntlet towel arrived today, fast shipping from coast to coast, but I need another Gauntlet Towel and all the drying towels I can get, haha, cheers!
Thanks for the opportunity to win these awesome giveaways and always bringing attention to brands/products that are easier on the wallet but still produce great results 🤙🏻
It can not be cheap to do these for us. I understand maybe money from views or whatever links and what not but I mean how many pressure washers foam cannons have you purchased lol. A lifetime worth. It's appreciated brother for real man. Thanks.
The waffle weavekeep picking up water even if wet as you say. They wash better, easier to get rid of wax residue or drying aid. They dry faster. I am surprized everytime I use them. I have twistress loop, the rag company, they recommend to start with the towel slightly damp (water or spray cleaner). I have plushes etc,, Trying the Sucker, then Gauntlet if I find a smaller one. Thanks for this video!
Yes Josh, it's the Woolly Mammoth from Chemical guys. One thing from it, always wash it before using it since it lints. I purchased 2 of them on different times and they lint, never happened with the ones from The Rag Company or from Auto Fiber or from Griot's Garage. Yes, Gauntlet is the gray one from The Rag Company and the blue one is Liquidator
I have two of them and both produce lint. Washed separately and also tried using vinegar like others suggested on Internet. Still lints. I have a black truck and it is very noticeable. I prefer my twisted loop towels.
Josh just ordered a MMJC foam cannon from you thanks. I watch other detainers and one is Pan the Organizer. It surprised me when he said to wet and wring out your micro fibers first as then it will pick up more water. Love your videos
A 3 in one solution for drying, count me in :). Really enjoy your videos and the detail of the drying towels is an example. The way that you explain the difference and importance of a towel with twisted loops, well done. Enjoying the chance to win with the giveaways but looking forward to content that you normally produce, once the holidays are over.
I’m just watching the video. From my perspective I used the twisted loops drying towels but I think they bulky and hard to ring out. They also have threads that pull out when the towel snags against the emblems or edges. I think the waffle weave towels would hold up better and be easier to ring out the water and dry. The video does not explain the maintenance of these towels where it matters after the towel is used with or without a drying aid if the towels might become unusable. I have that problem with the twisted where I can’t clean or reuse them.
The idea is not having to stop and wring out a towel. Also the drying aid should wash out. Add some vinegar to your rinse cycle (fabric softener port on modern machines).
The best video so far I've seen on car drying towels. Most people show their performance on perfectly coated surfaces, but Josh actually showed us how the towels do on different coatings as well as on an untreated area.
You are one of the very few people who actually do reviews and honestly your reviews are spot on man keep it up!
I’ve come a long ways from digging out a bath towel out of my mom’s linen closet as a teenager to dry my car( of course mom was pissed I used her towels) to having these dedicated drying towels.
For being honest and thorough and not hiding your bias but being fair you earned a new subscriber

The weight is 1120gsm so there is lots of twist loop material to absorb more water. The plush microfiber towels are the worst for drying a wet car. The plush are good for applying and buffing spray detailers and spray sealants.
They also suck for leaving behind fibres, so you have to wash them first unlike some of the others you mentioned.
Yup twist loop is the way. The Sucker towel from lux microfiber. 1400 gram twist loop.Amazing towel.
hey man, how many cars do you get out of one towel? im thinking of how many i should buy
Good video. The hand feel of the gauntlet is amazing. I'd say a follow up test could include wetting the panel 6 to 10 times (to simulate a car) and see which one continues to perform.

Drying towels, twist loop, really do a great water removal system. A small blower would really be a great addition to car washing!
I use the CG Wooly Mammoth and the TRC Liquid8r (16x16) almost exclusively. I have several other drying towels, but I find myself going back to these all the time. I am truly interest in the TRC Gauntlet. Thanks for the review. Love the video! Thanks Josh!
I got the gauntlet towels because of this review and could not be happier they make drying the car so much easier and enjoyable.
As a kid in the 60s and 70s we used downgraded bath towels for drying the cars lol, great comparison Josh 👍😁

That's a twist loop
Dallas Paint Corrections brand? Yea if its a twist loop it should perform similar to these, but twist loop is my favorite as well!
The luxuryMicrofiber sucker and sucker jr are awesome
My first drying towel was the chemical guys Wooley mammoth. Works great on a car, but full size suv or truck and half way through the towel gets super heavy and impossible to wring out the water. After watching this, might have to order a twist loop towel to keep on hand

I absolutely love them for windows! Windows used to be my worst enemy until the waffle!
They dont absorb for shit, great for glass tho.
@@whitegoodman7465they absorb quickly but they also saturate quickly. There's just less material.
I want to go around the whole car quickly without stopping to prevent water spots. It takes me 2 waffle waves, so I'll be trying a twist loop next.
I have a friend who has a twist loop and it drys super fast and doesn’t scratch the car so it’s a nice towel and good luck you guys
Great review 👏! They all look like some great options. Do you think using drying aids while using these towels would hinder their ability to absorb water over time?

@@PTerracina Perfect thanks!
Great info on drying towels. Very informative. Never knew there was such a big difference in towels. Appreciate that you use the products you review
Standing by for tomorrow, everyone will need to bring in a picture with a chicken, a hamster and a golf ball

Waffle weave towels the the best for cleaning windows
I got a twist loop because you suggested it for drying, now I own the rag company. Waffle weave works great on windows for me

Such a great video on drying towels that will help many people starting or just don't know which towels are best
I love the chemical guys whooley mammoth towels. They can dry the entire car and do an amazing job at it. I highly recommend it
So helpful man thanks I’m literally in Walmart and I went back to his video to see
I use the Liquid8r and Dreadnaught. Both are great drying towels. I have not used any in this comparison. Thanks for the great info!
Twist loop towels are the bomb diggity! They really have come a long way and all have their benefits. Thanks for doing this review.
Never tried a large towel to dry. Can't wait to try. Thanks!!
This towel has crazy absorption capability. A must buy.
I bought a couple Gauntlet 's watching your videos. Haven't yet had the chance to use them but am anxious to do so. Thanks Josh.
I have the gauntlet. It works great. Holds a lot of water. Thanks Josh.
Another great review. I currently use the CG Wooley Mammoth for drying but I think I'm going to be picking up the twisted loop towel from either Griots or Rag Company.
The gauntlet towel has been my favorite by far. Dries up the car so good and quick!
This drying kit would be a great addition to my growing detail arsenal
Great information! I have used the old Chamois to dry. I needed great info like this to update my cleaning supplies.
Definitely need these towels especially in that Cold NY weather. These will get the job done fast.
You could never go wrong with the ol wooly mammoth, have been using it for the longest time now.
Love this review! But I would highly recommend you look at luxury microfiber towels, their Sucker (the drying towel name) is amazing and I’m able to dry my entire Yukon XL with one towel! I think you’ll love it and might even become a new favorite!
These towels look like they do an amazing job. Can't wait to get my hands on some
Totally agree the twist loop towels are the GOAT
I have used the Chemical Guys Woolley Mammoth and it was ok but then purchased the Gauntlet and love it, I will try the others on the video to see which one works better.
I personally love waffle weave they also dry the glass very well, have to use about 2 per vehicle but they do perform nicely. Just picked up 2 twisted loop from my new favorite company and excited to try them
Never have too many towels, twisted loop my fav!
The rag company usually makes some really nice towels and products, the gauntlet is my favorite drying towel to use!
Thank you Josh, the MJJC foam cannon and Gauntlet towel arrived today, fast shipping from coast to coast, but I need another Gauntlet Towel and all the drying towels I can get, haha, cheers!
Thanks for the opportunity to win these awesome giveaways and always bringing attention to brands/products that are easier on the wallet but still produce great results 🤙🏻
Always have found twist loop towels to be the best in my opinion, however plush also works nicely for certain situations.
It can not be cheap to do these for us. I understand maybe money from views or whatever links and what not but I mean how many pressure washers foam cannons have you purchased lol. A lifetime worth. It's appreciated brother for real man. Thanks.

Thanks for this video!
What are your thoughts after trying more towels?
I personally love the twist loop as well I use a twist loop to do my first initial drying then use a plush to finish up
Excellent comparison. I use waffle weave on glass.
The Wooly Mammoth does a great job!! Definitely recommend 👌
Prefer using the twist loop as for drying, has always served me well.
I always find myself coming back to your vids to see if you have reviewed a product I may be looking at. Good info!
So many towels to choose from... Thanks for clarifying things up Josh
These towels are some of the best. Love all these videos you do.
Twisted loop sucks up the water better than any other microfiber weave. Very good comparison of some of the best drying towels available.
Nice breakdown and comparison on Drying Towels. I purchased The Rag Company Gauntlet recently after watching your video on it.
Rag Company drying towel is my go to right now works amazing with a wax and dry
Its crazy how these towels just dry with no pressure to it lol love your vids Josh! Keep up the great work🙏🏽
Fantastic products to dry the car along with mini blower. Thanks for the give away.
I don't usually use towels to dry my car, but a leather sham. Great video
Detailed review. Like that you showed a close view of the towels. Like the edge on the liquid8ors
Bought the rag company one from your Amazon link. Thanks Josh! Good luck everyone
Griot's Garage Twist Loops ihands down the best I have ever use. Is the one in my kit. Love it.
Thank you! Great review for drying towels. I have no idea there were special towels.
I have the Griots one and is amazing. I’ve dried 2 cars with one.
The towels that came in the maxshine fathers day box are awesome. I definitely need more of them
Definitely going to look into this towel, currently using a grey griots garage towel.
These would be perfect I need some more of these towels in my arsenal of products
I don't have any drying towels anymore. I need to get some more. These seem very good. 👍
Great explanation again Josh... I try and use a leaf blower first to remove most of the water, then dry the remainder of the car.
On your recommendation I bought a twist loop towel and absolutely love it. Really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
I’ve only used the chemical guys woolly mammoth but good to know there are other great options.
Yes Josh, it's the Woolly Mammoth from Chemical guys. One thing from it, always wash it before using it since it lints. I purchased 2 of them on different times and they lint, never happened with the ones from The Rag Company or from Auto Fiber or from Griot's Garage. Yes, Gauntlet is the gray one from The Rag Company and the blue one is Liquidator
Mine did the same thing the lint sticks to the car when drying. Pain in the ass
@@infamousdetails8406 👍
Thats a great tip! Thanks
I have two of them and both produce lint. Washed separately and also tried using vinegar like others suggested on Internet. Still lints. I have a black truck and it is very noticeable. I prefer my twisted loop towels.
Drying towels are great. And a detail blower would be Devine!
Definitely could use a upgrade on drying towels!! Love it
These look a lot better than the ones I have. Need to try them out. Nice.
Didn't know the differences in towels, thanks great info!!
Great video to make a decision on what type of towels to spend your money on 👍🏽
Best video on drying towels by far
Josh just ordered a MMJC foam cannon from you thanks. I watch other detainers and one is Pan the Organizer. It surprised me when he said to wet and wring out your micro fibers first as then it will pick up more water. Love your videos
Thanks for the support tom!

Twist loops are my favorites! Thanks for the reviews
Thanks for doing all these giveaways!! These are the last pieces I need to round out my car washing arsenal!!
I’ve been looking for some better drying towels!! I would love to try these out and see how well they work!!
Love my gauntlet compared to the others I have. The pattern on it really seems to make a difference!
This is a great video , gives you a breakdown on the types and what they are good for
Added to my watch list for the contest. Kind of like a scavenger hunt
Love your videos on which microfiber towels to use for each step of the detailing process!!
I have all 3 styles myself... I agree that it's hard to say which one does the best job as they all have different pros to them...
Auto fiber makes such awesome and innovative stuff
I’m just watching the video. From my perspective I used the twisted loops drying towels but I think they bulky and hard to ring out.

Very detailed review, I just started and have been trying out the Maxshine Purple Towel and love it so far.
Great review. I've only tried the waffle weave, which wasn't great. Looking to try a twist loop.
Amazing video loved how u go in depth and difference between them and the specifics!
Great review. I do the bulk with a twist loop and finish with a plush.
Awesome video! Makes me want to try another style of towel. I love my chemical guys Waffle towel, but I'm going try something different now!
These towels look sweet. Definitely absorb a lot more
