Default Quality of WW / MF towels?

hey guys long time no post in this section haha. anyways i'm looking for a waffle weave towel to dry my car, and i was wondering if there's any difference, quality wise, between your typical target Vroom towels and the Pakshak WW towels. the pakshak is on sale but with shipping its 22 bucks total for a 25x36 i think, and the vroom is a lot cheaper. but i was the best quality, and i don't really know if there's a difference. just give me your input or experience with your local vs expensive online towel haha. thanks

If you are just drying the car after a wash. I suggest using the ABSORBER. It's safe and durable and easy. It last like a year wise or use it until it molds. Can be bought at any Auto Accessories place.

I highly recommend looking at our Waffle Weave Drying Towels. It is 24x36, satin banding, soft fibers and is HIGHLY absorbent. If you have any other questions please let me know. Our shipping is very fast and this towel is extremely popular!

Theres definitely a difference between towels. Its tough when ordering one small item and s/h almost doubles the cost of the item For some reason I can justify distributing that shipping cost over a few items as opposed to just one item, even though I wind up spending more money in the long run, lol.
Anyway, heres another option for you. The 24x36 is an awesome towel! http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com/drying-towels.html
I actually really like the foam core towel a lot too.

I've been very pleased with Meguiar's "Water Magnet" waffle weave drying towel (22'x30"). You occasionally can find these in some local auto stores. Amazon is selling them for $7.88 each as I write this. Free shipping on orders over $25 too. I use two for most SUV's and one for most sedans. These are pretty thirsty towels and they don't scratch.
