So I just got these in not even a half hour ago. I feel the need to share what I won from the contest with others and give my initial impressions of my first Microfiber Madness towel, the crazy pile, as well as the Carpro BOA towel! First off a huge thank you to Tad aka Dark Horse for hosting the contest and letting us all win! Never won much of anything so it is really appreciated and really fun when the USPS guy pulled up today! Picture time

The crazy pile was not as blue of a blue like it shows in pictures. I'd describe it as like a candy turquoise color

The Carpro BOA, in all honesty, was much much better quality than I was expecting. I don't know why my expectations weren't as high for the BOA (probly cause I was also comparing it to the crazy pile towel) I would definitely spring for this towel in the future as a 10 pack is in my price range for a quality microfiber. I think it would do well as an all around towel. The only thing I would guess it does not exceed well at is compound/polish removal,
although I've yet to use either towel as of yet, just first impressions. I will most likely use these towels as either Eraser or Reload towels to avoid marring.

My favorite picture, and most notable difference between the two is how thick the crazy pile is. (Both towels were folded in half twice) The strands of the crazy pile are longer than the BOA, which would be great to help pull dirt/dust away from the paint to avoid marring. The crazy pile is without a doubt the softest microfiber towel I now own or have ever felt. I gave both towels the shake test to see if the edges would throw off lint and neither of these towels did. I will report back to see if they lint on paint though. And yes I will wash these towels before I use them.

It was really a treat to receive these towels for free. I can't thank you enough for all that were involved in doing the contest. I hope the other winners are as excited as I am! Thank you!
