Microfiber vs Microfiber - There Is A BIG Difference

I just ordered two "blue" waffle weave Microfiber towels from two different suppliers mentioned in an earlier thread. Even though they look almost identical in side by side viewing, there is a MAJOR difference in drying performance.

One of them dries my Geländewagen 100% with one swipe; and, when it finally reaches the saturation point with absorbed water, it does start to leave a little bit behind. Attempts to wring it out, don't yield much liquid.

The other does not ever completely dry the truck and, from the start, will always leave about 5-10% of the water behind as very fine droplets. Repeat swipes do not produce a dry surface. Also, when this one reaches it's saturation point, it is very easy to wring it out; but there isn't any improvement in the 5-10% water residue left behind.

Obviously, the first one is a better product; and I'll order more. A Geländewagen has a lot of surface area to dry.[;)]
