I had the same experience with the Supercell, as you say it has a very odd feel to it. A lot of that comes down to the twist loop design of the weave. I also find it just too big for how I dry a car.



The two drying towels I grab the most at the moment are the Rag Company FTW's and their Gauntlet.



Which one you choose will be down to how you dry your car. If you use a blower to remove water before using a towel, the smaller FTW's are going to be up your alley. You will probably need 2 - 4 depending on your needs.

The Gauntlet is made in several sizes. I have the small 30x30cm for wheels, and use the medium 38x60cm for drying. There are also larger sizes if you want to dry without using a blower.

Both of these are twist loop towels but are much nicer to use than the Supercell.

Another towel I like is the Tempest JNR from Waxit, the smaller version though. This is similar to the Big Green Sucker, but in a more manageable size.
