Default Pakshak..... excellent

Gave the car a quick wash prior to a Don Palmer track day on Friday (*excited*) last night and got to use the Pakshak towels for the first time since picking them up on the recent group buy.

Didn't get to use the really fine micro fibre stuff, but the waffle weave affair was awesome.... dried the whole car in under 5 mins - didn't need to wring it out or anything. If the microfibre towels are half as good, I'll be very impressed.

Recommended.

Oh, and thanks again for arranging the GB trypod

The waffle weave towels are the canine's cojones. Really absorbent and do a great job of drying the car quickly and with minimal smearing.

(When you wash them, be sure not to put any fabric conditioner in. I made that mistake - did it without thinking - and that towel has never been as absorbent since)

Mine should turn up any day now

A tip:

If you order from Pakshak on your own, make sure you stick "AUTOPIA" in the promotional code box for a HUGE discount - I'll figure out the percentage on my order when I get home and post back

A little over a whopping 35.5% on the goods, no discount on the postage obviously

Of course you are supposed to be a member of the www.autopia.org forums (I am ) but then they are free to join

Pretty good saving and the towels are out of this world

I brought some for a mate who owns a scooby. His young ( <5 i think) daugther said, " Daddy what have you done to your car it looks like glass". he had only washed and dried it with the WW - so he is well pleased

Pakshak stuff is great, Trypod's last group buy I got 3 three applicator pads as well and the quality of wash you get with the MF towels is amazing and as for drying, well I to the water-sucking-up abilities of those funny blue towels

I'll go along with everything that's been said so far.

Got some really strange looks from my other half when I announced I'd spent over
