Best drying towel Ive ever used was a bath sheet I had in my house, its a lovely Egyptian soft cotton 1200 count one it was £8 and its brilliant for drying the car, its far far better than any of the detailing towels as I personally think sometime these companies try to reinvent the wheel and you pay a premium for this, I have this towel for 11 years now and its as good as the day it was bought and still super soft so you really dont have to pay £20 plus for a towel as nothing has come even close to drying my car so quickly and I know as stupidly I have bought a few and always go back to my towel but clearly this is a personal choice but there are other ways out there.
I love the Silk Dryer towel
Very useful Jon. Great tips on the use of the various weaves. Your ahead of the game. Knowledge like yours is invaluable. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Yes, twisted loop drying towels are so good. I had the Gyeon but, like you, also wanted a double-sided towel. I have been using the Griot's PFM for years, which I really, really like. I just bought some double twistress from the Rag company because of the sizing. As for softness, the PFM felt the softest to me.
We love Gyeon products. Thank you for reviewing.
Love Gyeon Jon - one of my favourite brands like many. Their microfiber range is awesome no doubt. Have the EVO ONE Coating and those foam applicators were fantastic. Actually bought the that drying towel by accident but think it's super quality and absorbent. The polish wipe i find is the most versatile towel. I have a few and has so many uses. Gyeon Primer is a epic epic product Jon. Used it as a primer for their ceramic and was brilliant. You could just use it on good paintwork to bring it up, leave it there or apply a their wax on top. You could use it like an AIO or on headlights. Lots of useful info here Jon top job!
Jon the Gyeon drying towel is my favorite, still going strong after 5 years.
Get a scalpel and make your own slits on the side of the block
Right when i was about to order towels and some chemicals. Will see the vid first before ordering lol. Thanks Jon you the man
i absolutely love Gyeon Jon
get in jon, this a lovely episode
I must admit Gyeon range of microfiber cloths, applicators and towels are very good quality, they feel great and work well inspiring confidence in your work. It's always a good job done once you have finished with them. I've got a pearl weave microfiber and an Eagle edge less microfiber by the Rag company for ceramic coating which also just as good and feel so nice to use giving a perfect finish with little effort. All these little tweeks and refining my products over the years have made me enjoy detailing even more. I'm saving my Gyeon microfiber cloths for Griots garage 3 in 1, I hope the ceramic infusion in the blend will come out in the washing machine? I don't want to ruin them.
I primarily use lower nap towels for everything. My go to in the TFC car wash towel.
The best drying towels I’ve found are the PFM Drying towels from Griot’s Garage. Long loop terry weave and double-sided with 1120gsm weight. Soft and very absorbent.
Hi Jon. Great review of Gyeon MF products. The 50p suede blocks are super value and reusable and repurposable. Just one thing...Aren't the Gyeon finger applicators £4.75 each and not £4.25?
I do love to buff off an ‘aoi’ with a Gyorean microfibre Jon ;-)
Great to see these side by side.
The little blue and black pads are the same thing schools use for mimi white board eraser...much cheaper option, also has magnet inside.
Big fan of You and Levi of TRC👍
I have a double sided twisted loop. It’s by mammoth. Brilliant towel. Have a single sided too. Still good but double sided is fire 🔥
Got the same one and is great for bigger cars, got a small version too which is great for wheels
I hate the day I tried Gyeon stuff... Because I can't use anything else now, because nothing else matches 🤷♂️ and that comes at pretty damn high price 😂 at the end of your video you said everything about Gyeon perfectly....
Nice little line-up of microfiber/towels, but I'll probably stick to the rag company for towels and Gyeon for LSP.
Agreed. The rag company’s multipack towels are far better value for money
Yep
I do prefer the 2 sided applicators when applying Moonlight. Where do you get the mini 2 sided applicators from?
Made me laugh every time you said 'AOI'... All One In 🤣
Hey Jon, nice video as always ;)
2 requests:
- try and give your thoughts on Kent APC Foam, i love it and i think you'll do too
- have you ever tried Labocosmetica products? If so, what's your opinion on them?
Thanks for your amazing work
I've not used Kent foam m8. Labo stuff seem good though I've tried it
Hi Jon, have you ever used DI resin vessel rinse in place of tap water rinsing & drying after washing car. Would be curious on DI vs RO(reverse osmosis) cost/result?
I don't use m8 I know nothing about them
Great video ...have you seen cheap version microfiber drying towel at BM store only 4 £ for big towel but only 330 GSM would you think they any good .. thanks
Not seen m8 I'll check
Hi Jon, great work as always. I’m looking for a bit of advice from the master.
I’m considering a mineral white car at the moment and wonder what they are like to live with (keep clean) I’m going from a Safire black so can’t be worse. Any thoughts or comments appreciated
White shows the dirt but looks amazing when ckean. It also hides scratches.
@@ForensicDetailing thanks for taking the time to reply. Love the channel 👍
Ever use any of the microfiber “rejuvenators”? Not sure if I should try those for some towels that won’t absorb well.
No m8.
That was lucky - I’m using a bald wipe for my ceramic detailer, which I use as a drying aid.
Jon the Forensic Drying Towel would have bought you 10 super cars :D :D :D
New word : Korean and Gyeon together you get Gyreon🤣🤣🤣
I love the Korean brands, gyeon , carpro and tac systems . The Asian brands are maybe the best in the industry including soft99, 26JPN and Kamikaze.
Maybe you can reuse the applicators for dressing on the engine bay
That's what I'm planning to use my The Rag Company cloths for the engine bay coating with some Gyeon can coat, I'm hoping it'll prevent corrosion between panel welds on 90⁰ edges where the paint is susceptible to rust. The Eagle endless still feels ultra fluffy like new but I'd dare chance it again on exterior panels again....seems like such a waste 🤷
Talking about drying towels have you tried the gold member from the leather repair company it's supposed to hold 2 1/2 litres of water
Sansom car care have something similar with their Fluffy Daddy drying towel at 15 quid. At a weight of 1,400 GSM and measuring 50cms by 80cms it can hold up to 2 litres of water before needing to be rung out. Their microfibre cloths are great. It's the polyamide that makes them so soft. Dreadnought towels look similar. Can't see any info where it states the Goldmember can suck up 2.5 litres. Shouldn't have said "suck up" sorry, if I have offended anyone. It's the Austin Powers in me.
@@theflash4956 😂🤣😂🤣,just going of a review someone did on RUclips,I will be using the gold member at the weekend and I will measure the water content,the we will know for sure have a good weekend my mate 👍
@@anthonyworthington6495 Thanks mate. I bought the Autofinesse Drying towel a few years ago, it's great, still in great condition as well, it's 1,200gsm. Thinking about adding either the Sansom drying towel or Dreadnought. The GoldMember and others are 1,400gsm, so should be better. Anthony, I think you may have given Jon an idea for his next review, Drying Towels. What do you think, Jon? A whole row of bowls, filled with say 2.5 litres of water. Soak them for 3 minutes, lift them up and see how much water they release hanging from your wife's washing line. Ask her permission first, Jon. You know what women are like using their stuff. Mine throws my dinner in the bin, if I've crossed her. 😡People should be aware, a lot of car products such as towels come from only a few factories around the world. The good ones are in South Korea, cheaper not so good stuff, China. They are basically rebranded, but are the same product, different colours, different name, same specs, different prices.
@@theflash4956 yes that sounds like a good idea to me,and yes don't we know about the wrath of her indoors 🤣😂🤣😂
How about Adams using waffle towels with waterless washing. Opinion on that?
I personally want a towel with a bit of a pile. But it's all personal preference
John how about that apc video, when You will upload it? It's been a long time...
I'm close m8... See instagram
John, is APC good to clean polish pads or is it “safer” to use a dedicated pad cleaner? Thank you
It’s absolutely fine to use APC. A 1:5 or higher dilution works great. I’ve actually started using Rags to Riches microfiber towel cleaner from TRC. It cleans both foam and fiber pads phenomenally well at 1:32, so it’s incredibly economical.
@@jdisdetermined thank you!
Are you a guitarist? I’m sure I just watched a video of you playing the detecorists theme? Possibly my favourite song ever!
Yer I play a bit not much now m8 mainly folk blues stuff. Luv that Jonny Flynn detectorust song
@@ForensicDetailing fantastic, I used to drum but not for a couple of years now, music is a great hobby 👍🏻 I subscribed to your other channel, there’s some fantastic music on there, a very talented msn! 👌🏻👍🏻
After doing ceramics, i usually immediately soak the towels in hoy soapy water for 10...15 minutes. i havent had a problem since
The ceramic material is not water soluable and starts curing almost instantly in the towel.
@@ForensicDetailing that could be true. Have used a couple where within 10 to 30 minutes, the towel was hard. But the Adams graphene ceramic coating with the 7-year supposedly longevity. I've done quite a few vehicles and not one of those towels was hard. Not even the applicator
So what detergent should we wash our micro fibres with?
Cheap liquid non bio.
Here in the States, the most practical overall microfibers are from COSTCO. Very reasonable priced. I would NOT recommend a drying towel from TRC. It is a purple ish twisted loop (?) It is unable to dry one car.
Try their gauntlet m8
@@ForensicDetailing I bought my son in law a gauntlet & I believe he likes it!
5:23 - 4.75 each
4:56 don't do it Jon!
Third 🔥
Your contents are great but gotta work on your camera work. (Too shaky moves)
More Gyeon only reviews... 😞
Tell me what u want to see and I try
A mix match of brands across the world at different price points @@ForensicDetailing
ruclips.net/video/JusGBvy29iw/видео.html done :)
Fourth
first😆
You need to stop being so cheap
The GYEON brand is a solid performer, tho I personally prefer carpro. GYEON just introduced a hefty price increase
