I'm looking to put together a group buy for some towels I've sourced. They have received favorable reviews from several of the guys on the forum here. I can send you a couple to try, just PM me with your address.

Bill -I have since used the blue towels you sent me for a Rinseless wash, and it worked fine. The blue ones would be a good all purpose towel, I think? Especially on a group buy.....

Yes, I used them on a rinseless wash too and liked them a lot for that, as well. They are my "go to" towel now and have replaced the Chemical Guys MF towels I was using.

I've got some 800 GSM towels coming as samples from the same manufacturer. I would like your input on those too.

I got in a group buy a few months ago for some terrific MF's, (I think they are 800 cfm or something), but am considering waffle-weaves like the guzzler for a drying towel. I think there was a waffle group buy a while ago, but what do you guys prefer for drying only? I usually do GlenE's one bucket, or the occasional foam canon and mf mitt, but either way I want a good, absorbent drying towel with some ONR +wax as a drying detailer. . .

I like waffle weaves to dry, not big on a thick plush MF towel for drying. Use those for finish detailing and applying sealants.
