Absolutely! There was some talk about drying towels recently. So, I thought I should finally get around to putting up a review of my favorite. I've also used the Meguiar's Water Magnet and the Griot's Garage Waffle Weave Drying Towel

I know Big Blue II is your favorite towel, but I have been so satisfied with the Ultimate Guzzler that I haven't bothered trying any new ones.

double for meguiars water magnet... I use it to dry my wheels instead. I really like the softness of big blue 2... but having to use 2 is annoying... definately will give cobra a try. I had the previous gen of pahshak waffle and it was also barely wet after drying but I found the towel was not as soft as I would like. They do have a new gen of pakshak which is supposedly much softer.

Go for it!! Part of the reason I do product reviews is to encourage people to try new products. However, I don't see myself buying too many more new detailing products this year. The detailing season will be coming to a close soon in New England and I'll probably have to start moving my products into the basement soon.

ROFL... too many more this year. You probably bought more in a month than most buy in a lifetime.

I love this towel. I need to wash it though. Should I wash it like the rest of my micro fibers? Can it be thrown in, all in 1 wash?

Yes, I have always washed all my microfiber towels together in one load. Just keep other types of fabric out of this load to avoid getting lint on your microfiber.

I love big blue, Little blue dries my car totally. Something I read here that helps is take off the nozzle on the hose and let the water run freely over the car. It get's rid of 80% of the water on a nicely waxed car.
