I have had 4 of these for a few years. I got them as a gift and put them in my cabinet of various towels. I have way too many drying, polishing, etc towels. I just pulled one out the other day to dry the truck after a mid winter wash. Wow, very impressed. I have many excellent drying towels from a few different vendors. These Rag Co. drying towels are in my top shelf of go to towels. Excellent for drinking up a considerable amount of water before squeezing them out. I did not wash it first and I think you should, but it didn't seem to affect the performance. From a professional "home" detailer, these are an excellent choice.
