0 Sizzle Chest Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Jim, I think they are the same towel. Just a color change. They will work the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jimboman Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Thanks. Of course this means I'll have to pick a couple more up next order. Edited October 16, 2014 by jimboman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Kingsford Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Back in the day the glass towels were blue but then changed to green to match the product. It's kind of Adam's thing. White Polish... White Pad. Orange Compound... Orange Pad. Blue Waterless Wash... Blue Waffle Towel and so on. Same towel suppliers sometimes change colors and stop offering others.

0 Team Adam's Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yep, purely a cosmetic difference. Our supplier sent us a batch of the blues this time around. It definitely makes my OCD flare up using blue towels with the green GC, but I get through it. krewsman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Performance Auto Detailing Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yes. Need to have the current color!! If your current towels work and the new towels are just a different color it's hard for me to comprehend buying new ones. Maybe it's because I'm a cheap college student and need to limit myself to $200 a month on detailing supplies. Whatever works for you Kingsford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are completely different than the green ones that followed How so? Besides size they are the same weight. I have a ton of glass towels from Adam's all different colors all the same towel. The only glass towel that I own thats different came from a different mfr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a ton of glass towels from Adam's all different colors all the same towel. The only glass towel that I own thats different came from a different mfr. They are a lot thinner, and smaller. It looks like there used to be a tag and it was cut off. I wish my cheap college student budget included detailing supplies! No kidding!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has never been tags on Adams towels in the 6 years I've been around here. Must not have bought it from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Maybe it's because I'm a cheap college student and need to limit myself to $200 a month on detailing supplies. In college? $200 would get me through at least 6 months worth of supplies. Then again, when I was in college, I wasn't buying ultra detailing brands, way too much being spent on booze and wining/dining the females!

0 jimboman Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 It has been a few years ago. Almost all my towels are from Adams. They are roughly 16x12. (I didn't want to pull out my dirty tape measure and touch the towels). They are nice towels and don't get all wavy like the green ones when you wash them. It looks like it is some sort of tag that was torn off and they are in the same distance from the edge and the same textured side on both towels.. I could be wrong though.

0 Kingsford Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thats very interesting... I'm going to take a look at all my blue ones when I get home. They are older but I don't ever recall seeing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mick Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I do have some with the tag impression on it. I also have a few white ones. I think the white ones came with the window kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jimboman Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yeah, the blue ones were from the glass kit I got years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sportruck00 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Not a big deal - glass towels.. But yes my original Adams Glass towels appear similar. They have been used for exterior house windows for quite some time. Edited December 26, 2014 by sportruck00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 We've bounced between green and blue glass towels more than a few times over the years. Other than the color the material is the same. Sometimes its just a supplier issue that we can't get the color we want in time so we sub in the other.
