So I washed the car today, and wanted a good towel to dry the water off with. I ending up buying this, which was HORRIBLE.

Anytime it touched the car it left hundreds of little yellow feather streaks all down the car. I had to wash it all off again. Figured maybe it was just the car, for some weird reason, tried it on the motorcycle, and the SAME thing. What the hell is this thing intended for ?? Now my poor car is full of tiny water spots, *sigh*, gonna have to take it to a local carwash or something.

I'd check out some of Adam's Polishes microfiber towels. They work great and don't leave any little fuzz behind.

Microfiber itself is not in the least bit absorbent, so in order for it to hold water it needs to be woven into a waffle pattern... your complaint is pretty common with towels of that type. Odds are on top of just being the wrong type of towel for drying the fiber quality is really low.

Don't buy anything from CT bro. The quality simply isn't there.

Check out the Adams great white drying towel. Now that's a towel!
