The towel sat in my cabinet until I had the perfect challenge to test it out on. \u00a0This Mercedes was in for a full paint correction job, and after washing the car, there was absolutely no beading or sheeting, so there was a lot of water on the paint.<\/p>\n
The car looks great in the following picture, but don’t be fooled, it is actually just covered with a layer of water that is clinging to the surface.<\/p>\n

The packaging on the towel boasts the PFM drying towel to be the “one pass drying towel”, so I was eager to see what it could do in what I consider to be the worst case scenario when it comes to drying a car. \u00a0The large towel was folded into fourths to make it more manageable, and I proceeded to gently wipe the paint. \u00a0The first pass absorbed\u00a0the majority of the water, leaving only light streaks behind. \u00a0I flipped to a dry side of the towel and easily wiped\u00a0up the remaining water. \u00a0It\u00a0was noticeably quicker and easier\u00a0to achieve a streak free finish with this drying towel compared to the waffle weave towels I have been using.<\/p>\n

I proceeded to dry the other half of the hood using the damp side to soak up the majority of the water and then flipping back to the drier side for the final pass. \u00a0I continued this process around the rest of the vehicle, switching to new sections of the towel as needed. \u00a0In the end, I was easily able to dry the entire vehicle with the one large towel, and even though this vehicle had a lot of water clinging to it, I felt like the towel could have kept on going. \u00a0I do not think I would have been able to complete this job with just 1 waffle weave towel.<\/p>\n

I have been using this towel for maintenance on my own vehicles as well. \u00a0My car is protected with a nano coating which repels water very well, therefore I am able to sheet the majority of the water off of the surface before ever using a towel. \u00a0The large drying towel is actually a bit overkill for my personal maintenance needs. \u00a0As you can see, the 25″ x 35″ PFM towel<\/a> is a lot of material to handle, which means it can soak up a ton of water, but when you don’t have a tremendous amount of water left to dry up, I have found the smaller 16″ x 16″ PFM towels<\/a> make for a great substitution. \u00a0These towels come in a 2 pack, and I use one as my damp towel for my initial drying pass, and the second towel for the final pass to produce a perfect finish. \u00a0Just 2 of the small towels are enough for me to easily dry my entire car.<\/p>\n I was a little hesitant to spend the money on these towels to begin with, but now that I have tried them out, I cannot see myself reaching for my waffle weave drying towels anymore. \u00a0I already have some more PFM drying towels on order!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Zach McGovern of Attention to Detailing shares his review on the Griot’s Garage PFM Terry Weave Drying Towels!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":21987,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,29],"tags":[884,1420,1113,1787,1779,1112],"class_list":{"0":"post-21633","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-product-reviews","8":"category-washing-drying","9":"tag-drying-towel","10":"tag-griots-garage","11":"tag-peoria","12":"tag-pfm","13":"tag-pfm-microfiber","14":"tag-zach-mcgovern"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/31994722815_bb370ded88_b-1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1kPO7-5CV","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21633"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21660,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21633\/revisions\/21660"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"ATD](\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/720\/31994722815_bb370ded88_b.jpg\")
