GSM Is GSM...
MPG IS MPG..
To clarify, GSM is a standard metric of weight..
Grams per square meter it's a measurement of fabrics weight and density..
With that said for us to determine GSM we need to WEIGH the towel.
Yes density plays a part as well, but again we need to WEIGH the towel to determine that..
GSM isn't the best way to determine the quality of the yarn, the overall performance of the towel or it's durability and longevity.
I have used 800gsm towels that have scratched the paint and fallen apart after a few washes!
Hope that helps:)
when would you use a 300-400 GSM towel vs a 500 plus GSM Towel?
This is easily one of my favorite RUclips channels out there. Honesty and realness is the best way to learn about anything online and you sir are the best at it.
Great stuff! Thanks for taking us down this rabbit hole.
Scott I just wanted tell you that I enjoy your videos. They are informative and knowledgable. I like the way you handle yourself, and don’t put on airs. Good job keep it up
Thanks for your up front work and no BS approach!
I appreciate the fact that you have so much knowledge and detailed info about your trade.... You have certainly dedicated your life to your craft
Love your videos Scott I been watching and learned a lot about polishing and waxing cause of your videos I just did my charger for the first time it was time consuming but the results were worth the time and hard work.... I have a question now I used meguiar's ultimate compound and liquid wax about how long will it last until I need to do it again ???
I always learn from your vids, Scott. Always. I have drawers full of MF towels and ultimately, I agree with your summation that
you have to buy and use what works best for you. Some brands are garbage, others become your staples. EXPERIMENT!
Hey Scott! I am a subscriber of yours and have watched nearly every one of your videos. I have learned a great deal from you. I am 63, retired and on Social Security Disability due to extreme degenerative Arthritis and other health issues. Nonetheless, I am ODC; therefore I can't help myself from being as active as I can ;-) I was a professional artist making a good living painting heirloom portraits.
When I was young my parents and grandparents taught me "a job worth doing is worth doing right!" I kept my bicycles in perfect shape; over the years I've done the same with my cars and motorcycles. I currently have three older Mercedes; my favorite is a 2005 E320, Silver with Black leather interior. I work at keeping it in Showroom condition.
All this rambling (like you?) to ask if you've ever tried Rain Drops Detailing Supply products? I think it was on a couple of Apex Detailing videos. I like how the glass Rain Drops glass products appear to work. I would love your opinion regarding this.
By the way, I have four children; one son named Scott. (Pretty good name, huh?)
Hello Scott! Love your super-informative videos. How do you care for your microfiber towels? Any specific type of wash, or procedure? Does all of the gunk come off every time? Also can you recommend a good brand of towel? Thanks!
Your completely right. The specs don’t always tell the whole story but if you’re buying towels online you can’t hold the towel before buying. The gsm and blend info will give an indication of what to expect so are useful in that respect.
Great advise for a novice like me... Thank you kindly :)
just for general-purpose microfiber towels that I use for anything from taking polish off a car cleaning windows are the towels from Costco I don't know who makes them I just know that the GSM is 300 and you get 36 of them for like $20 I mean it's really hard to beat and they're so affordable that you get a good couple of washers out of them and use them for like picking up oil or something like that doing an oil change and then you throw them away some people spend ridiculous amounts of money on these towels but if you're using towels for drying any what's better waffle weave or regular towels that's Up For Debate to using a blower obviously would be best but some people don't have those.
Thanks Scott! Excellent points! Folks you could go crazy trying to figure out all the bs on towels. Find the ones you like of decent quality.
How can you determine if the quality of the weave and yarn?
im only gonna say that my TRC towels works fantastic and last for ever. I wash and dry them carefuly with Micro-restore. The pluffles and the eagle just have gave me a ton of hours work. As for the washmitt I swear only by microfiber Madness. I wont risk buying other towels brands.
Have you tried Gtechniq wash mitt. It is expensive but it is worth it. The mitt is super easy to use and literally locks in dirt; the other kind I have just mostly glides over dirt. I only have a few but they worth it.
Great video Scott!
Thank you for this video 😁
Scott after polishing is it ok to wash to remove all the dust or should I apply the sealant then wash.Or do you have a step by step video of describing all full blown exterior detail from start to finish with light paint correction and paint protection included.Thanks
What's your personal pick for drying? What about removal of liquid or paste wax? How about drying with a quick detailer?
I own the Sucker and the Jr. There isn't a towel better than it. Way to go Scott, amazing product!! I am going to buy all of his towels in Bulk.
As you say Scott "don't over think the moment". I have had good luck with Walmart's premium microfiber towels ad I get the cheap ones for really nasty jobs like scrubbing wheels or cleaning the rubber mats in my truck. I have learned a lot from these videos. I refuse to pay money just for a fancy logo, I have done that with some of the Snap on tools I have bought throughout my mechanic career. I will be starting a part time gig mobile detailing this next Spring. I want majority of the product I use to be readily available. I took your advice and bought the HF DA, I tend to avoid HF.
which towel do you suggest for helping in the paint correction process?
I have a question is it better to buy in gallons or onces cause I’m a beginner in detailing and I’m starting my detailing business what’s better gallon or once’s
waiting on your discussion of the 16x16 dimension.
Scott, Can you do a detailing video with ONLY products you can buy from any local brick and mortar store?
If they won't give us thicker clear coats glaze has to be the way to go right. If its as thin as you say we can only do one correction right? That sucks! My old banger looking better than ever with realistic hopes! Thank you! Love to all yours! Feel the love! May you prosper my friend!!!
How to tell if the yarn is good quality?
What do you think about the home depot towels?
Mr. Scott, I have enjoyed your videos. I have just started watching them about two weeks ago. I've seen some were you were not in DFW area. Sir, you remind me of Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory! When someone disagrees with him he out right tells them, "you're wrong!" Keep them coming sir!
im always in the DFW area or within 50 miles of plano texas ....thank you for your kind words:)
I thought that in your earlier videos, 2010 or so I thought that you said something about the bad winter in your ares prior to doing a video on cleaning road salt off the body. Maybe I am wrong, I usually am, according to my SO, lol
@@douglassalley9117 I have only been on RUclips for just over a year:)
It was probably some other bald headed New Yorker...lol
lol, like I said, I'm usually wrong!! Thanks for the quick replies, I can't get any of the you tube gunner channels to answer/reply to me. I'm just now watching your basic How to polish your car. great info there also. I'm 70 years old and just have to make myself get out of the house and do, no medical problems stopping me....just pure lazy!!
Scott, you said "other" bald headed New Yorker. So that means you were once a bald headed detailler in New York!
You can test fiber content for around $150-200
What advice or direction would u give a Beginner who wanted to do detail on the side with out spending hundreds of dollars on Machines chemicals and all types of wax and polishes and also pads. Who knws how to detail but doesn't have the money to spend to strt there own business but doing it on the side would hope that it would Flourish to become a full time business.
This is very useful information. Thank you for another great video Scott.
I always wondered why Costco and some other big box retail stores don't put GSM metric on their MF packaging, Maybe Scott does have a point.
I am waiting for Ray Barone to walk into the video... :)
I find the Costco m/f towels are decent quality. I do just my own vehicles and find they work well. Wash a load as needed with 3D Towel Kleen which seems to do a good job. I have cheaper towels that I use for things other than paint. I've heard the Costco towels are 350-400 gsm . Whatever. They work for me. Good video Scott. I guess you just have to trust what the manufacturer says.
Scott what microfiber towels do you recommend?
Well if you're using microfiber towel on glass, he's already discussed that in another video. If you're using the microfiber towel on paint, well again he's already discussed that in a prior video. If you're using a microfiber towel on an engine compartment, look it up in his prior video he has discussed that. If you're using it to remove wax, on the inside of your vehicle on plastic trim, on leather, on fabric,... All has been discussed on a Prior video... By the way you'll find that he has no all purpose microfiber towel to recommend that is best on all surfaces if you watch the videos that cover different aspects of what you would use a microfiber towel on... I know this does not answer your question directly, but then again it would take just as long to answer your question as it would be for you to look up these videos and watch them. Happy searching, I know you'll find other videos on other aspects of detailing while searching for this information that you will be happy that you started searching...
Awesome video Scott ... I'm looking for the best towel for windows .can you help me with that ?
I have used The Rag Company for years, and I have gotten 2 bad towels that linted. When I called and told them they were incredibly nice and helped me get them replaced for free. I don't know what kind of "lies" these guys have spread to you, but it kind of just seems like the big dog taking a crap on the little guys and calling them a hoax. Sad how people can make money off shaming other detail companies, just because controversy makes them grow. SMH
My first order of TRC’s Creature Edgeless linted like crazy. Had a batch of Eagles do the same thing. Have since moved to Shiney’s Detail Plush and they’re all that touch paint now. Great quality that matches or exceeds TRC Eagles and are less expensive, combined with awesome customer service.
rain albertson, what type of warranty do Shiney's have? Have you ever had to return anything? What was your experience? Many of the towels on their site have no customer reviews....that makes me cautious. TRC has hundreds of reviews.
Scot would so buy your products! !! Just help me get them here at less than paying double what they are worth!
Although some of what you say about other companies may be (and I'm sure is) true, I do not like to say anything about them without verifying my findings. However, I agree with you about microfiber towels and the numbers. If it feels high quality, and does the job without harming the surfaces, where it is made and the brand is irrelevant. Please continue making informative videos. Thank you.
Can you recommend a brand?
LOL, I've heard it as "figures don't lie and liars figure"
trent black......LOL....Regardless of how it`s said, you have to agree that it sounds like Trump.
It can be said many ways:)
@@blkngwinn stop just stop
Go figure.
Lol.....The truth hurts, doesn`t it.
In your findings , what do you use and where do you buy yours .
This was my question too
All good
GSM, if reported accurately and honestly, is 100% accurate. Absolutely no room for error. It's only silly if you don't get it.
This is a personal invite for Rag company to pop by Texas :)
Agree on most of your points, however, there's one flaw in your logic. 😊 GSM is GSM. Size of the towel is irrelevant. 300 GSM on a square meter towel will still be fraction of 300 GSM on a 16"x16" towel or any other size. It's just a measurement of weight on a certain surface area, which happens to be measured per square meter, so for any given towel (regardless of size) a 600 GSM towel will be twice as heavy as a 300 GSM. - Cheers!
Unfortunately that's not true..there is a margin of error when trying to find the true gsm..
I will show in future videos of towels that are supposedly 350gsm vs another towel that's 500gsm, the towels Many many times will weigh the same in weight..
I honor your perspective but it's not actually true and some resellers of microfiber towels here in the states have discussed this at length..
We will always have a degree of error when it comes to gsm:)
Thanks for your comment
GSM is a standard like PSI or MPG. If a company sells a towel quoting a specific GSM and that's not what you get when you receive the towel, then they are false advertising.
Thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching and learning. Neur0bit is correct in that gsm is gsm. The material that the towel is made of is what is assigned the grams per square meter (gsm) number. If you assume you have a bolt of material with a rating of 350 gsm and you cut a 16" x 16" piece to make a hand towel from that bolt, it will be 350 gsm. If you cut a beach towel (say 2.5' x 7') out of that same bolt it will also the same gsm as the 16" x 16" towel. The gsm is calculated for the entire bolt. The size the material is cut into is irrelevant. All towels cut from that bolt will have the same gsm. Hope this helps.
@@RAMII19780529 your point is valid, GSM is a standard metric, but when applied in different applications, in this case the size of the towel, the numbers don't truly reflect similar level of weight (it should in theory). We use a term called shrinkage in the industry, if you cut up 1sq meter into 100 pieces and weight them all, you will lose some weight in the process, hence making it difficult to measure. I think Scott's point is valid in the sense, don't get hung up on GSM alone, it's just one measure.
Scott is correct. Thanks for the great video Scott.
Good video
So are there any brands or specific towels that you recommend?
The rag company
I put your Jack of all trades towel up against the Rag Company eagle edgeless 500 gsm towel and the Luxury Microfibers felt and performed significantly better....
Very subjective , thank you!
Hey Scott, I’m a big fan of your honest and informative videos but a few of your recent videos have left me scratching my head more than usual. Specifically, while I appreciate you pointing out all hype in your industry you haven’t provided solutions or recommendations to really help guys like me so this video and the recent paint prep video are lacking, at least for me. Maybe there is going to be a follow up. Not sure. Just my two cents.
I will help you soon and make it easier for beginners..
I have lots who follow me so I try to help all those who are beginners or perhaps experts
I have discussed microfiber towels I do like...
Did you miss those videos?
With your question to paint preps, did you see my videos about dupli color or rustoleum grease and wax remover?
I have discussed at length products and solutions for DIY guys and weekend warriors..
I'm scratching my head as well to your comment as if I haven't provided solutions for you..
But perhaps it's my fault, I'm sorry
Thanks for your replies, Scott. I have seen your Shiney’s Blue towel video and your duplicolor video. Both were helpful. Not trying to seem unappreciative as I’ve learned a lot from you. I guess I personally would prefer if you could end a video like this one with some recommendations/solutions. That’s ok though. Keep doing your thing and I’ll keep watching and learning.
@@joecahoe6516 I totally understand and you have made a great recommendation...
I wish I could please everyone:)
Some videos are just discussing a topic and not about a solution but I did discuss how to identify a high quality towel within this video and how to identify quality yarn..
Much love my friend:)
Is there any microfiber towels made in the good ol USA?
No. Our country is too lazy and cheap to hire their own citizens to make it happen
I have 10 Eagle Edgeless towels from TRC that are bad. Linting and sticking to paint like glue. No one can tell me why. Any ideas?
have you clayed the vehicle??...sometimes microfiber towels can lint or stick to the paint if you have some bonded material on the paint:(
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing Thanks Scott, Lol, I agree but I have hundreds more towels including the Eagle Edgeless and they all work perfect and my cars are new with perfect paint. I am as meticulous as anyone. It is these 10 only. TRC replied back to me moments ago and suggest soaking in detergent (appropriate) and white vinegar, then washing and drying them again. Since the fibers are breaking off, this probably won't work but I will try out of curiosity. Not the end of the world but this caused me to rethink my towels. I had bought towels from Matt at OG and like them better than the Eagle Edgeless for most uses and am now switching. I think too soft is not necessarily always better at least for me. I became a victim of 1100 gsm is better than 500. 500 is better than 420 etc... These high pile towels are nice but somewhat of a gimmick for most things. I will be making a video on these bad towels and why I like the 80/20 320 gsm better for most things. What say you? Much love...Fatty
well Matt is just a reseller of TRC towels, they will still be TRC towels...since TRC doesn't make the towel, it could have just been a bad set of towels because sometimes quality control can fluctuate...did you ask for a refund or replacement??...not sure if washing them will help either:(
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing Yes Matt sells the TRC towels. The "car wash towel" to be exact. But I love them. I did not ask for a refund or replacement, but I was surprised they didn't offer to replace 10 towels after buying hundreds from them over the years including an order yesterday. Not so great customer service in my opinion. Checking out Shiney's.
I get all of my microfiber towels from Dollar Tree 🌲 $1.25 for a two pack or a single large soft towel. Great quality especially for the price. Not sure where in the hell they are made or their blend but they perform. And that’s all that counts.
Some one once told me “a lie will travel across the world before the truth straps on it’s boots.”
Another reason why your channel is awesome. Wealth of information helps us decipher truth from BS....
Thanks again.... Sir Scott...
Scott we should compare 100 % cotton to 100 % microfiber?
I just use micro fiber towels from
Wal Mart. 30 small towels for around no more than 15 dollars. Once I beat them up so bad, it’s much easier to just toss them in the trash.
Scott, GSM is not a measure of weight, it's a measure of weight divided by a unit of surface area. The size of the towel is totally irrelevant. Density is a measure of weight divided by unit of volume, which would be surface area times the thickness. GSM, therefore, is a function of thickness. The density of water is 8.34 pounds per gallon. It doesn't matter if I'm measuring one gallon or ten gallons, the density is exactly the same. There is no margin of error. I hope this helps. We love you all, Scott.
GSM stands for grams per square meter and it's a measurement of the fabrics weight and density..
The only way we can determine GSM and density is to WEIGH the towel..
How else would you do it?
At the end of the day a weight scale will be needed:)
Many confuse this simple fact and like to split hairs on how to determine GSM or what it means but at some point we are going to need a weight scale.....
There is a margin of error when determining GSM on a 16x16 towel and discussed at length with many resellers of microfiber towels and discussed at length at the IDA conventions around the country:)
You are correct that we have to weigh the towel, but the size of the towel is irrelevant because the weight is being DIVIDED by a unit of surface area. It doesn't matter how big the towel is, because the total weight is being divided by the total amount of surface area. Are you saying that if I weigh one gallon of water and then weigh ten gallons of water there will be a difference in density because there is a margin of error due to the difference in the size of the samples that I measured?
@@rking6247 Yes you are incorrect..
Ian with autofiber has discussed this at length on how there will be a margin of error when determining GSM on a 16x16 towel..
I mention his name because no matter what I say many will disagree..
I will have future videos explaining this in more depth, I will also show how one company will claim 350 GSM and another company claiming 500 GSM but they will WEIGH the same..lol
It's so crazy my friend...
I understand your point but there is more to the story
OK, Scott, I'll wait for your video, but did you understand my water analogy?
@@rking6247 of course I understood your water analogy but it doesn't apply to fabric and it's density..
If we are talking about water, I absolutely agree with you:)
Scott - Once again you speak the TRUTH "with love". Keep preaching!! Cause some of us are listening!!
I have learned and do my best to practice ' K.I.S.S.' in many ways for different things. I do my studies and if I should become attracted , at a price I'm willing to pay and seemingly should suit the needs, I will bite. A great many have worked out just fine while of course others have not. Your bummed for a bit from the waste but in the end I just move on.
Just a note, the most important thing when using microfiber on paint, be gental and don't think you clean or wipe your kitchen, else you'll see swirls.
Back in the mid-70's I worked for many years in the research department for a technical textile manufacturer and can only begin to imagine how the technical aspect of it has changed since then. Fabric weight has some bearing on how it may be used but there is much more to it. A towel and a scouring pad can have the same GSM and even be made from the same general type (polyester, nylon, etc.) of fiber but have very different uses. You can have fabrics made from the same fiber mix, size, etc, with the same GSM but have a different feel depending on how it is constructed.
It was not unusual for one of our marketing people to bring in a 6 inch square (or less) of a fabric and want to know the weight, fiber type, fiber composition and many other qualities from this small piece. Although we could easily determine the GSM, fiber chemical percentages, it required much more work to be specific on the fiber type. Fibers have denier (cross sectional size), crimp, length, surface finish (actually part of the fiber), and other attributes. You could have one lot (tons) of fibers that were supposedly the same as the next lot, but performed slightly differently and that was in the 70's. I can't even begin to imagine the differences today.
What will help the beginning detailer and weekend warrior is to explain the differences in types and quality of towels. What qualities to look for, what qualities to avoid, which ones you use and why. You do that so well with many of products that you showcase and we greatly appreciate it. I couldn't figure out where you were headed in this video. A 100 GSM towel will be 100 GSM whether it is a square meter (100 grams), a quarter of a square meter (25 grams) or a tenth of a square meter (10 grams). What makes a difference is how it is constructed and what it is constructed with, what makes a difference to us, the user, is how it actually performs. I'm sure most users care more about - can it scratch, how absorbent is it, does it lint, how long does it last, which one gives me the most bang for my buck.
Scott, we sincerely thank you for all you do, keep up the good work.
I have discussed towels I like and use and why..
This video wasn't only about GSM but a discussion about blend and origin of towel and how that's used in marketing...
I appreciate your comment and yes as I said in the video I will have more videos in the future about microfiber towels...
Scott I have watched most of your videos and realize this however newer viewers may not. I just wanted to add a bit more background to show there is a lot more to these towels than the hype some sellers are presenting. It is through people like you that we learn the real useful truth about products. God bless you and keep the faith.
@@johnk8825 I totally agree with you about New viewers but it's not so easy to repeat myself again in just one video but I will definitely try to get new people up to speed..
If I jumped into the movie an hour late I also know I have to make an effort to get the first hour of information perhaps on my own...
Numbers never lie, but, liers love to use Numbers... it's true in every sense even now...
Steel wool is abrasive. If is spun thin enough it can be used to "polish" things like remove rust from bumpers. But even OOOO steel wool scratches paint. No matter what "quality" of polyester, it is supper hard...almost on par with steel. So how has everyone jumped on the bandwagon of using super hard polyester on painted or polished surfaces? some manufactures even vaguely say to not use the on painted surfaces. How has the lie of numbers been glossed over that no one sees this super hard material is just really fine steel wool?
Just to reiterated please make your products as world wide as possible 40 euros for fast shine hemmm
Scott, the saying is "Figures don't lie, but liars figure."
it can be said both ways, actually you can say it in more than two ways:)
I believe Taiwan also make good towels~
Who sells Taiwanese microfiber? I've never heard of or seen such a thing.
Can you tell us where to buy some high quality towels?
Derek Minor max shine. The rack company
The Rag Company has good towels that ate affordable.
There is a lot of brain washing to get to your pocket. You are right Scott, we need to let those companies know that we are on them. We work to hard for our money, so they become rich and famous? Why do we always have to please people?
Oh, come on. GSM, blend, and weave are objective measures that indicate the quality of the towel, all other things being equal. If we have a reliable supplier, we don't have to measure this, given that the supplier can tell us these things. China has a relatively freewheeling market that has been known to substitute melamine for wheat gluten and the like, so China vs. Korea may be seen by consumers as a measure of the reliability of the suppliers. Of course there's the chance for them to lie, but we aren't likely to buy every kind of towel in the universe to try them out and find which are good, and thus, we use these proxy measures to estimate the quality of the towel.
es kommt immer auf die Anwendung an je höher die GSM desto schlechter lässt sich stärker Druck aus üben, je niedriger die GSM desto weniger Produkt kann aufgenommen werden. ein wichtiger Punkt ist auch die Pflege der Tücher. kein weichspüler nutzen. trocken Tücher poliertücher, und wax, versiegel Detailer, reinigungs Tücher getrennt waschen. ich kann die die Tücher von Liquid Elements aus Deutschland sehr empfehlen. Preis Leistung ist für mich mit keiner anderen Marke zu vergleichen, allerdings kenn die Verfügbarkeit in den USA nicht.
It was all so much easier when we were using diapers!
just touch it you'll know
Dam Scott keep it up. Great work!! Looking forward to your MF Towel report. Your are exposing the under belly of the Auto detailing as it's 90% marketing, maybe 1 of the worst industries around sad to say. Just learning that a wax or sealant that gives great beading is NOT what you want as it causes water spots when it rains! You want a wax or sealant that sheets the water so it almost eliminates the water spots, but marketing says customers wants the beading effect to show off, but really don't understand the problem. Keep it up Scott!
I’m too cheap to purchase expensive towels because at the end of the day it’s a towel and will eventually end up in the trash. Costco towels for the win.
Ricky Tapp that’s ridiculous. You are not a professional for sure, because after spending 30 hours on a car I don’t want to scratch the car I am working on.
What's the deal with the chip on your shoulder, Scott? You seem to universally demonize those who sell products 'in your industry' indiscriminately. I'm sure, like anything, there are good and bad actors. I question how much more helpful this content would be if you could lighten up on the 'everybody's out to get you're rhetoric. You deliver a lot great content and this takes away from it for me - the weekend warrior and seemingly the target audience?
I don't have a chip on my shoulder..
I have always been a truth seeker and I understand the truth can scare some..
I honor your perspective but I will always be me and have never deviated from that truth:)
I'm sure some of my videos will not always please you or interest you but I like talking about things I'm passionate about..
What else should I do??
I will continue to help all I can and I have many videos to come..
Having an opinion about me as having a chip on my shoulder because of a few videos is kind of silly:)
Much love my friend
It's not all peaches and cream, welcome to the planet..
You also don't really know me but I'm willing to be vulnerable and share what I know regardless if it upsets some or pleases other
@@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343 I believe it was President Ronald Reagan who said it best; "Trust but verify". This seems to me that this would be a fair rough nutshell of your own overall theory of products and techniques which you espouse. In my head this also translates metaphorically into " do a test spot on everything". There are a new generation of quite young detailers who unbeknownst to them are the perfect product of the liberal public educational system which has NOT taught them how to critically think anymore but instead WHAT to think and therefore fall for pretty bottles and cool sounding hyperbole. These types of unvarnished vids are as you say "welcome to the planet" wake ups they absolutely need. Not just to stop getting suckered by advertising firms but also to quite getting sucker punched by by certain " forward thinking" authoritarian bodies that are praying they don't ever wake up. Sir; your advice is more than great for them.
..I would easily call it essential and critical but never overly negative. I've never seen you respond to shoddy products or techniques you are trying out in a hateful fashion; just honest and critical. My impression of most folks perceiving you as negative are they have been taught to get along at any cost rather than to figure out that the "line in the sand" needs to be much further away from them as a safety buffer and only so much bullshit actually needs to be tolerated. Sir I believe that you are doing a far greater service than JUST teaching folks how to maid service a vehicle. I say it like that on purpose because among the things you are bringing to the table honestly that is the least important of the lessons you are teaching. Thank you.
griots garage towels is overpriced
I don't care who you are, if you pay over $20 for any towel your wasting money
I always disappointed watching your videos.... You seemingly have a great spread, in this case a wide variety of towels, bit all you do is ramble.... Show us!
