Default Big blue is slightly thicker...

I purchased both the grey (from microfibertech.com or autofiber.com, I forget which) and the blue (vapor clean products). Both are good but the blue is slightly thicker (and a few $ more) so I think its a better buy. I use the blue first to get most of the water off, then follow with the grey to get the risdual drips and also do the lower panels.

Default I have both as well... the blue is thicker but!>>

the grey is softer than the blue and through multiple uses and washings the blue has become quite unplush (for lack of a better word) and drags over the paint leaving micro marring where the grey is just as soft and glides across effortlessly.

The grey is also easy to wring out when its really wet! I can't ever get my blues to do that...

If the towel drags, sounds like you need to rewax?

Default You would think ... but this is after clay, polish and fresh wax!

I read that the blue dye has something to do with it?
