Guzzler hd waffle weave drying towels

How many towels do you think I will need to dry my camaro and then my wife's Toyota van? I don't know if the 3 pack is enough or if I should buy the 6 pack to be safe.

I landed up buying 6 of the HD guzzlers in a pack. I figured I might as well because it is nice to have some on hand and it is the best value. I found 6 towels 16x24 in a pack for $69.99. Better than $20 for one or $40 for three.

Not familiar with the HD waffle weave, but I did recently buy their regular guzzler...

I am underwhelmed, as I think the Viking waffle weaves I got from Amazon, pick up at least as much water at almost a third of the cost.

Maybe the HD guzzler version is much better.

I think it also depends hugely on whether or not you have a good wax job and if you sheet the water off first.

Just my thoughts.

How much water that's on the car is definitely a factor. But I easily dried my Camaro with one and could probably dry at least half of another Camaro with it. If I catch a deal on them I'll let you know.

Autogeek will probably have a Fathers Day or July 4th deal with 20% off and free shipping at least.

I actually was informed that the HD requires more of a "blotting" action due to the "spong" center. The "vendor" actually preferred the regular guzzler for drying. I'm very happy with mine and actually bought another 3 pack of the larger version just because of them accidentally getting dirty via wiping door jams/etc.
