VIKINGCar Care 912400 Waffle Weave Drying Towel - 7 Square Feet, Royal Blue

This Viking Microfiber Waffle Weave Drying Towel is a decent size, measuring large enough to easily dry a freshly washed car or medium sized SUV. If you are looking for a towel that is able to dry a large SUV, large van, or a truck, this towel may suffice, but you may find that it will become relatively wet as you go along, as it is not the thickest microfiber drying towel that I have ever used. Although relatively thin, measuring around 0.5-0.75 inches thick, this towel has a very nice waffle weave texture and is moderately soft.Unfortunately, this towel does snag quite often, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The first time that I used this towel to dry my SUV, I went relatively slowly down the panels of my vehicle to avoid snagging the towel on the corners of my vehicle. While this did prevent most of the snagging, it also extended the amount of time that it took me to dry off my car compared to other microfiber drying towels. The second time that I used this towel, I dried the car as I do with other towels and I did notice an increase in the amount of times that the towel snagged on the vehicle. Throughout the drying process, the towel snagged about 10 times, primarily on the corners of the panels on the car: the corners of the hood, the doors, and the trunk. Most of the snags were minor and did not affect the product, but I did encounter one larger snag that pulled around 2 inches of the fiber from the towel.I have not experienced any trouble in laundering this towel. I typically wash the towel in hot water with a mild detergent and it seems to adequately cleanse the towel. I always air dry my microfiber towels, and follow with a very low tumble dry as necessary. This towel does hold quite a lot of water in it, so it takes a significant amount of time to dry (2-3 days, from my experience) after washing.Overall, a very good value for the price, but do keep in mind that if you use this often, you will probably be replacing it after a short period of time due to the many snags. 4/5 stars.

I recently just traded in my very small sedan for a mid size SUV. I was using a chamois to dry my sedan for the past few years and while I found it effective in drying, it did leave some streaks and water marks even when going over the area repeatedly. I'm a car nut and take great care of my cars so when I just bought the new SUV, I wanted to make sure to take the best care of it, especially since its navy blue. I wanted to try a new drying tool for a couple reasons- 1.) the chamois wasn't working as well as I wanted and 2.) I wanted something larger because drying an SUV would take me longer. Yesterday I just washed my car for the first time since owning it(2 weeks) and it was pretty dirty. I washed as usual and began drying. The towel left no streaks or water marks at all. It did begin to saturate after 75% of the vehicle was dry and wringing it out was difficult. It made the drying time much faster than I anticipated for a mid size SUV and I only had to go over the area once or twice to get it totally dry. I knocked one star off because as others have mentioned, it did snag on emblems and after I washed it on gentle cycle it had about 5 runs that I cut off with scissors. Other than the snagging I'd highly recommend this drying tool. I plan to purchase another to have when mine gets too soaked and finish my car off with a fresh towel.

This is a fantastic towel. It really does a great job of holding in all the water, although I do use a squeegee for my windows, the rest of it I use the towel. There are no labels or harsh edges that can scratch clear coats. Some other reviewers commented that the towel was stiff, I don't know what they got in the mail because it's not what I got apparently. My towel is nice and soft. I have not one complaint.Update-7/30/18- I recently purchased a Meguiars waffle weave towel because it was a lightning deal and most of the reviews were pretty good. It is half the size of this Viking towel. At its normal price, almost $4 more then this towel, that is corporate greed. The Meguiars also had a tag attached which luckily I spotted and tore off before it scratched the hell out of my paint. Needless to say after using and washing the Viking multiple times, I'm still very pleased with it and I wish I would have just gotten a second one instead. Economically this is definitely the way to go....and no tags.

Im a huge fan of Viking Car Wash Products!I have been using this waffle weave drying towel for over 6 month now. I wash my car about every 2-3 weeks.THE BEST THING IS I CAN DRY MY ENTIRE CAR WITH ONE TOWEL, WITH NO SPOTS, OR STREAKS!The towel is very absorbent, and really does the job well.You dont get any lint or residue from the material which is great as well.The only downside to these towels as others have mentioned is that they can get snagged on edges of the car.This has happened to me a few times, and while its annoying, it hasnt been a big deal.I suppose Im also being careful to avoid it and its still happening so thats something to keep in mind.For me its something I can overlook, because I really like the towel. However its certainly an area this towel could be improved in.Overall, I think its a great drying towel and well worth the price, I highly recommend it!

For the price, I can't complain about anything. It is larger than the super suck'r I bought and 1/3 the price. I used this for the first time drying my BMW e92 and mazda 3. I don't know if it was because the weather warm, but I only needed to this one towel to dry my car completely. Even if I needed two of these, it's worth it. I can just use one to remove most of the water and a second one to completely dry the car. If you car isn't well waxed and water doesn't sheet or head, your results may vary. The material is pretty thin, but it does hold a lot of water. I have no issue tossing into washer and dryer. I use vinegar as my fabric softener and dry on low or medium. This did snag on both my cars, more than once. So just be careful around any corners. Other than that, would definitely buy again. Could also be useful in buffing my kitchen island also.

The towels pill and unthread extremely easily. Threads started to come loose and bunch up on the towel after using it the first time drying my car, and bits of the towel even got stuck on the paint surface of my car. Not sure what's up with that. Might be one of those cases where I got what I paid for, which isn't very much. Washed and promptly returned, don't waste your money on these.

Muy buena para secar (la doblo en 6 sectores) y un sólo sector me basta para secar toda mi camioneta (Rav 4) mientras que uso los demás sectores para secar los vidrios y darle una ultima pasada a la pintura. No le doy las 5 estrellas por que se atoró en las letras de la marca y se deshilachó lo cuál hizo que perdiera simetría y van varias veces que me pasa que se atora al estar secando.

con esta franela de microfibra con una pasada tienes para secar toda una camioneta y deja los vidrios muy bien......compraria de nuevo... ojo: si se jala con alguna parte de tu auto ...no jales de nuevo...solo corta el excedente...si no se va a seguir...no es defecto es la forma de el tejido y en algunos casos uno mismo jala de mas por la inercia

Después de terminar de lavar mi carro solo necesito una toalla para terminar de secar toda la superficie, solo hay que tener cuidado con las superficies con picos o lugares donde se pueda atorar ya que debido al material se deshilacha un poco fácil, fuera de eso estoy muy satisfecho con la compra.

Me gustó mucho ya que cumplió ampliamente con mis necesidades, que era contar con una franela para retirar el agua después de lavar el vehículo, pero que además de un tamaño grande y ligera. Lo cual permite lavarla y utilizarla en un periodo corto de tiempo, ya que su secado es rápido. Recomiendo mucho el producto.
