After hearing so much about the scrim I had to try one. I have used shammy, microfiber and hucks. When I found out about hucks I thought it was awesome. But nothing touches the scrim. It dries fast, leaves no marks and is all the towel you need period. I have not used my hucks in weeks. No more washing towels every week. If you have not got one give it a try. You will be sold. Thanks WCR for getting the scrim. One agian the brits are one up on us.
I couldn’t have said it better! Love the scrim!
I haven’t adjusted to it yet but am not ruling it out as a weapon in the arsonal. Stand by for further reports down the road!
I’m in this same boat, for me it is too bulky in its current state. All of my work is residential so I don’t need to soak up huge amounts of water at each window like on commercial.
Has anyone cut one down to a smaller size and sewn it, I was unsure whether the weave would fray terribly or could easily be sewn together?
Scrim-del-icious is the bomb bizzie!!! (it’s a very good drying tool)
I picked one up at the WFP seminar at WCR the other day, and that was my first question…I said "do you cut it in half?"Alex said not to cut it. I havent given it a trial run yet.
I can’t say enough about how great scrim is. Don’t cut it…it’s the perfect size…you just don’t know it yet. Seriously, you will adjust to the size and probably appreciate it in the long run.
I use scrim on commercial and residential. Heck, it’s awesome on residential!!! All you need is one per day on residential.
For stacked commercial windows you’ll probably need 2 or more per day so you can rotate them. Use one while the other one dries.
I use a scrim for detailing and a synthetic chamois for a pick-up or sill cloth. That’s much better than using numerous hucks and having to wash and dry them each day or every other day.
If you haven’t tried scrim you should do yourself a favor and purchase a 3 pack from WCR. You’ll wish you would’ve had scrim all along.
Including a Tool Talk episode.
I’ve been meaning to do a vid on this for a while but I’m just swamped with work this last couple of months. I’ll give it a go sometime in the next few days…promise.

I’ve been married for 18 years so scrim is just a distant memory for me.
I hope I remembered to put some on my order.
I have not tried the scrim yet. The kids got me sham wow last fathers day. Cut them into 8 pieces. They are awsome for detailing and also cleaning up large amounts of water. Are the scrim superior to these? Shannon
Scrim is superior to everything when it come to detailing windows.
Scrim absolutely RULES!!! 
It really does!
It may take a little getting used to but once you’ve gotten used to it there’s no return to hucks or whatever it was you once used.
i agree that the scrims too big. I have a [bad?] habit of throwing my towels over my shoulder and it catches every shrub i walk past.
when i first got it i hated it… but after you wash it (like the instructions say to do in the first place) i certainly get why people like it so much. very absorbant.
I’ll take one.
I am still 50/50 on them. Using a huck for so long the size is really hard to get used to. Alex told me not to cut too but I am getting so temped. Any reason not to cut? It looks like it might fray out but if it was cut and then stitched it looks like it may work? maybe I will get the wife on it…maybe
Reasons for not cutting:
The size of it drys out when working as it hangs or draped on your shoulder, cutting it would mean less drying out time.
It can be utilised just hanging from your belt to detail bottom window.
It has more grab on it being longer to attach to you pole.
You can also hang on to it while detailing when its hung on your squeegee.
It can be used to wipe off fly vomit, a smaller cloth will be wet through to do this.
Less going back to the truck = more time on job.
It has more grab & detail when double folded.
It can be utilised as a drop cloth for indoors, just 2 laid out is around the same size as a beach towel.
You can kill those horse flies with a quick flick.
Working indoors as a drop cloth it can just be pulled with your gear on it - even pulls a bucket!
You can use it to clean windows - honestly. Use a wet sponge & then dry off with scrim, its not as good as a squeegee, but it cleans better than any other cloth. Some wcers in the UK still do it this way.
It’s long enough to get under bars when a squeegee doesn’t fit.
Can’t think of anymore for now…
