abunda_amazon_reviews I used to love these towels because they were so thick and excellent at picking up polish or wax residue. These were my go to towels. I recently placed an order and immediately noticed the new ones are thinner and not as plush. I put the two year old towels next to new towels to compare. The new towels have a less dense pile, not as plush, and fibers are about 1/4 shorter than the ones I bought two years ago. The gap in the pile is larger and it sheds like crazy. I wish I bought more of the old ones.;;Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;I used to love these towels because they were so thick and excellent ...;;Rectums;;;I was surprised at how poorly these worked out. I washed them as directed, and when I used these the first time, they left tiny pieces of lint all over the outside of the car! I was so angry. I switched to another MF towel, and had no issues. I washed them again...and still - got a bunch of lint all over outside of car! I wish I had used them sooner, and was able to return them. Not happy.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2017;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Not happy.;;James;;;This is not a bad towel but the towe (yellow)l is quite thin. Much thinner the the Eagle Edgless towel (orange) from the RagCompany. It is about the same thinkness as the gray Viking detailing towel, which 1/3 of the price ... quite surprised! Against the green dual pile RagComapny towel it looks about the same as well. Again... expected more, especially from a company how promotes that much on youtube.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2016;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;Expected better for the price... would not buy again.;;Mr. P;;;These are often regarded as the benchmark car wash towels and for excellent reason. The microfiber seems to be of excellent quality with one side having longer loops resulting in a fluffier feel that is great for drying your car or doing a 'soft buff' (i.e. Removing a gentle wax) while the other side has a much tighter nap that is excellent for removing/buffing polish, compound or other products that leave a crustiers residue. The dual sided nature makes the towel very diverse while the quality of the microfiber and the adequate density of the towels make them an all around excellent towel and 'jack of all trades' in the detailing world, if you would. And yes, the thread density isn't particularly high, but it is certainly not thin either (I received a couple towels in a kit that have the same type of dual sided build, but have a higher thread density - that's great for being able to absorb more water, but my opinion is that the effectiveness of the side with the shorter nap suffers a bit). In addition to the above the towels comes in two different sizes partially making up for the 'average' (for lack of a better word) thread density by providing more towel to absorb water. And while this doesn't have to do with the product itself, the price for the 16x24 (large) 6-pack is absolutely amazing. I bought a number of them for $14.70 which is 60%+ less than the price charged by all the other retailers (I've seen the 16x16 6-pack go for 40 bucks so the price is quite literally amazing). My only gripe is that after soaking the towel in the degreaser I use, which is the 3D orange natural degreaser (I do this to pre-treat my towels after using them to remove any stubborn spots of dirt/grime such as the black spots one gets from accidentally rubbing against window molding), causes the towel to fade fairly significantly. It doesn't effect the performance of the towel, but aesthetically I like the nice golden yellow color of the towel. And remember, microfiber towels are used to dry cars because of the 'split' shape of each individual thread which is made out of a synthetic material allowing the towel to capture dirt in the threads away from the surface and have a bit of a negative static charge attracting dust. The use of any kind of fabric softer, drier sheets, etc clogs up the crevices in the threads removing their advantage. Ditto to using overly hot water or drying the towels with the heat up too high. You should use a special microfiber detergent (which is basically just detergent with no additives, but you can get it fairly cheap so IMO it's not a scam to pick the stuff up), wash using the 'colors' setting (warm wash, cool rinse) and dry on low or no heat - heat melts synthetic threads so you should avoid excessive amounts. All in all, this towels is 'the bar' used by many and for excellent reason. There are plusher towels, towels that are excellent at absorbing large amounts of water, towels that have different color sides of which is useful for rinseless washes so that you don't re-use the dirty side, etc. But if you can only have 1 type of towel this guy wins since it can do it all and it can do it all well! And the fact that I picked up 6 packs of the 16x24 towel for basicall 2 bucks a pop is absolutely amazing on its own!;;Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Widely considered the de-facto benchmark towel...and for good reason!;;David Moore;;;I needed a replacement for my Meguiar's microfiber towel from 3 years ago since it was no longer doing a very good job when I used it to remove the wax from my car or with the Quick Detailer. I had been reading good reviews from these Chemical Guys towels so I decided to try them out. Here are some of their claims and my review: - Premium ultra-soft towel - Definitely a thick, soft towel. - Perfect for final-touch buffing & wiping - Easily remove wax and/or polish and leaves no streaks. - Lint free & scratch free - Nothing worse than buying a towel that sheds; these towels do not shed or leave lint - Made with 70/30 microfiber - A lot of other microfiber towels skimp on the blend, these are very soft - Silk edges further reduce scratches - The edge material is very soft - Two plush heights for unlimited versatility - I mainly use the soft side for all my detailing, but others may want to use the short side. - Bright yellow color highlights dirt; shows you when to flip to avoid scratches - The bright yellow color certainly helps in showing whether you really are washing ALL the dirt off your car; these cloths will show you where you are missing because any dirt will show up against the bright yellow background. Overall, these are great, plush, perfectly sized set of microfiber towels. I'm hoping I can get just as many years as I did with my Meguiar's towels.;;Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Just the Right Size and Microfiber Blend for Detailing;;Sarasota2k4;;;I love Chemical Guys wash soap, wax and everything so I ordered this item with high expectations. Geeee, I am not sure if I r3ceived a very old stock, my Car was full of lint as I use it... horrible. Not good, other cheaper brand delivers better....;;Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Not lint free, its 100% lint.;;Nikki;;;I've been ordering the tri-color pack from Zwipes for a while. Having used those at work, I was familiar with their cleaning abilities. On a lark, I decided to try out these orange contraptions. What a difference. Seriously. These things are so good that it's caused me to reexamine the other cloths. I will make clear that these are not cheap. They're good. Depending on how you rate the value of your own time, that comes into play. SIZE: They are substantially larger than most of their competitors on the market. You find yourself changing out cloths less often. DEPTH/DURABILITY: The depth of the fabric is substantial. Enough that you can't feel all the details of a surface underneath. This is a plus because you don't need to worry as hard about stabbing yourself in the finger with some miscellaneous shard of tile or metal on the floor. Qualitatively, they seem to endure the washer better than the cheaper cloths. I can't see any utility with the trim they stitched on the edges, but this is a product of surpassing quality.;;Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;I've cleaned up crime/trauma scenes and know my way around cleaning up a mess.;;Harlan Kanoa Sheppard
