0 11chevz71 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Should the white drying towel be washed before using it for the 1st time? I guess just to be on the safe side i guess you could. but it is probably not worth the time. i would wash it after each drying had occurred.

0 livingwater Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 I was wondering if the drying towel would also give off lint unless I washed it first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Marylander Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I just used a brand new one today. Didn't wash it first and had no lint whatsoever. So I'd say there's no need to wash fit first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jjwvette Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I used mine right out of the package no lint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 livingwater Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 The drying towel is awesome! I need to buy another one for a standby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Natch02 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I 2nd that. Got to use it for the first time Saturday. Time to make another order. I had no lint for the first time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Superdutytd Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 As everyone has said no lint but I would say to get a 2nd one. You need two to dry most cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BlownG8GT Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Never had a lint problem with mine when it was new, I say go ahead and use it! I suggest using the detail spray when you are drying! Great results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MSUGTO Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I didn't wash mine before using it for the first time and it worked great, no lint either! One thing I did come across though is that it seemed hard to wring out when the drying towel was "full" of water. When I would wring it out it seemed like I could never get enough water out of it and it would streak water when I would try to dry my car some more. What method do you guys and gals use when using this towel? I'm sure it's my technique, I've just never heard of any complaints about this bad boy. I've been thinking about picking up a second towel so that I could use one to get the majority of the water off and then use the second to get what's left.

0 Bill-V8V Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 When you get to that point just use a regular Adam's MF and DS to wipe it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MSUGTO Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Alrighty, good to know! I thought I was the only one running into this. Maybe Santa has room in his sleigh for one more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 694doorbird Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 After blow drying the cars, there really isn't a whole lot of water left on it. So, in my case 1 or 2 towels gets the job done for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 coolth Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I only use two of them to dry off one car, but i have two cars to clean so the third one comes in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 livingwater Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 I can dry the vette completely with one Great white drying towel. My towel from Adams is huge and it moves a lot of water FAST I usually pull the towel along the surface of the car instead of wiping it down. It absorbs all of the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
