First Look: Microfiber Madness

[Matt@Vivid]

Some of the guys over at Detailer's Playground
mentioned that CarPro USA is now carrying the german towel line, Microfiber
Madness. These towels are supposed to dominate other towels based on what I've
read. I *think* this is the first time they've been sold in the U.S., but I
could be wrong.

I jumped in headfirst and ordered the line.

(2) Crazy Pile 500 g/m2
(2) Yellow Fellow 300 g/m2
(1) Summit 800 800 g/m2
(1) Dry Me Crazy 1200 g/m2
(1) Incredimitt



They're
in the wash right now getting ready for use, but some initial impressions based
on just feel and construction:

Yellow Fellow- These are making me a
little nervous. They're very similar to those yellow towels you get in clay
kits. They're a little denser and thicker, but same idea. A little rough to the
touch right now. Hopefully the wash helps.

Crazy Pile- These towels have
me super excited. They're like Zaino BB on steroids. Ridiculously soft,
borderless, a little thicker than a BB and longer nap. These could be
excellent.

Summit 800- Extremely dense and thick towel. Very solid
construction. Hopefully softens up a touch in the wash, but this towel could be
a workhorse.

Dry Me Crazy- Think of what it would be like if Adam's made
a "Quad Soft" towel, but bigger (25x17). This thing is incredibly soft,
ridiculously thick and dense. They say it can dry an entire car without ever
wringing it out. We'll see.

Incredimitt- Nothing special about this on
first glance. Nice looking blue and white MF pile. Nice and soft, cool
embroidered logo on the cuff.

Hey Matt -- what's the difference between some of these towels? I mean the Dry Me Crazy makes sense -- but what's the difference between the Yellow Fellow and Summit 800? Would the Crazy Pile be for buffing the shine AFTER removing wax residue, or would it before removing the wax residue itself?

The towels all have different density, pile length and would be better suited for different jobs.

I'm not 100% sure where I'll put the yellow fellows to use. They make me nervous a little bit. If anything, I'd provably use them for detail spray spritz on a clean car. And maybe bug removal duty.

So then the crazy pile has longer pile. It'll be terrific for buffing wax or sealant off. Should also be great for detail spray.

Sometimes long pile can drag in wet applications, so that's where you'd want something like the Summit 800 which is super dense and absorbent with a shorter nap. Waterless wash, rinse less wash, or removing bugs would probably be where this towel will shine, although it would be more than capable of buffing wax.

So as you can see, there's some overlap. One towel might really excel at one job, but still work perfectly fine for others. You certainly wouldn't have to have each one by any means.
