Since I've taken on the job of detailing my Mini (3 washes, 1 polish and 2 QD in one week).

been trying out some of the products I've bought over time and stored

Got to say really like the duragloss drying towel. It's kinda like a plush MF doubled over and sewed round the edges.

Really thick and holds the water well.

I compare this to the waffle weave a standard MF and I would say this is better. IMHO.
