Detailer essentials

[Big Pimp]

Alot of people in the detailing community are weary of any whoolies which aren't the real ones. I have a full set of the genuine ones and to be honest I mainly only use the medium one and sometimes the large one. If I were to buy again I would mosy likely just buy the middle one on its own

That’s actually a really good point too.

My original set must be close to 10 years old and are still superb.

The ones I got from @Davey@Procar will no doubt last me many years to come

I’ve been looking into them mate, and I’m asked a manufacturer for a sample to make sure the quality is the same

Would you ever consider stocking these Ross?
I bought mine off Slims and they had their name on the handle. Maybe you could have Anachem branded woolies?

Anyone found a good place to buy these? I just want the large one and most places charge a stupid amount for postage.

@Big Pimp you got your own brand in yet?

Nice one Ross.
The ones that Slims do are actual Braun wheel woolies though, not copies. It’s just that they must have some sort of merchandising deal with them where they get their name printed on the handle:

Anachem branded genuine Braun wheel woolies next

I rarely use the largest one, small one is of no use either, the middle one is the best one to have IMO, its the only 1 I use really

Best drying towel guys?

 

[Gareth]

I've been using the Meguiars Water Magnet. Soaks the water up really well, but looking to move to a towel too.

 

[RoniN]

I have the Auto Finesse one at £12.95 and it's dead on.

@Woodcutter does the Fireball ones which are great.

@Big Pimp has a few different ones on his site

UltraPlush - Ultimate Drying Towel

Big Yellow - Dedicated Drying Towel

UltraWaffle - Ultimate Drying Towel


Cheers

Is waffle wave better than microfibre to dry off a car? Maybe my cheap microfibre are just crap.

 

[big_pete]

@Big Pimp grey one is the best I have ever used

 

[euge07]

Im hearing good reports on the klin korea duo large towel.

I use the big drinker xl and drynasour towels from in2detailing

 

[brocks]

I’m using Carbon Collective drying towels at the minute and rate them VERY highly!

 

[Carson]

The big yellow towels from @Big Pimp are great.

 

[GavRS182]

Anyone came across good black Friday deals to be had?

 

[Simon998]

Big Pimps ultraplush is the job, ideally you'd need two though as they soak up a ton of water and get quite heavy.

My drying towel has gone harder to touch if that makes sense.imagine it’s with being washed the past couple years.is it time it was replaced or can I use some softener to help it .doesnt seem to be soaking up as good or am I imagining that.

Don’t use softener.

They will lose all of the plushness and end up marring the paint

How do you keep them soft like they where at the start?

I've only ever used liquid detergent and air dry on a clothes horse.

When are you taking bookings Gareth

 

[Big Pimp]

Only wash them when absolutely necessary and then wash them in a hot wash with a non bio tablet
