Sure they are. Do not use a fabric softener on them though. They last a long time.

I agree. I save them up and then do a small load all at once.

Great Advice Given!

I wash mine alone, with car wash in the washer and hang to dry on the line in the basement...

LOL i work at a car detailer and they use terry cloth towels. Blue for Body (notice B&B) and Green for Glass (G&G). any way he tells me that some kids still use the wrong towels.

they seem really good. i tryed a sample sham-WOW and it didnt do that well compared to this rubber feeling thing i use. i couldnt wring out all the water to get the towel dry enough to clean window with out leaving spots. maybe the since yours is bigger it will work better.
OR you can do what i do. Try it out on someone elses car. i use my moms jeep

Your not being a cheapskate I wash mine. I used to buy a new pack every time I went to the autoparts store and those things can get expensive if you keep buying them after a while. 7 bucks for 2 is a bit steep.
