    Best Towels

    Hello all!

    I am new here and have been studying the forum for the last 6 weeks and am hoping to make my first large order which will include towels. I am having a hard time determining type, size, and quantity of towels needed for a complete paint correction. I have a full size 4 door long bed truck that I need enough towels for.

    Please indicate your preferences for:
    1) drying towel
    2) glass towel
    3) product removal towels
    4)interior towels
    5) Misc. towels

    Please include towels name, size and quantity needed.

    Thank You!

    Sticking with AG products (which, I'm ashamed to admit I don't always do):

    1) Metrovac Air Force One - 1. OK, the Cobra WW is OK. I won't even bring up the WalMart Dish Drying Mat.
    2) Cobra Glass WW - 1 per car.
    3) Super Soft Deluxe Blue Microfiber Towels, microfiber detailing towels, buffing towels, micro fiber towel, detail cloth - 1 per operation per car
    4) OK, I have to - Costco (Eurow) MFs. I guess I could live with the Mango Breeze but pricey by comparison. Bunches.
    5) Use use long nap MFs for waterless washing (not AG). Carpro suede MFs for clear interior plastics.

    Total quantity of each depends on how often you plan on washing them. I have tons, wash frequently and still want more.

    Re: Best Towels

    1. Mothers WW Drying towel or Meguiars Drying WW. At least 2.
    2. Anything will do for glass. Even paper towels. Find a glass towel that has a very short knap and almost feels kind of coarse. 3-4 per vehicle.
    3. Meguiars Supreme Shine. 10-15 per vehicle
    4. Wally world or Costco bulk pack
    5. See 4.

    OP asked for "best towels." No need to mock the answer, which is what toycar18 thinks are the "best towels."

    FWIW, I believe you get what you pay for.

    drying: guzzler
    windows: any waffle weave
    paint: rolled edge
    interior/misc. Costco

    That's just my preference.
