Favorite MF towel for residue removal

What do you use to remove buffing residues? I have 3 SSD Blue rolled edge, 3 Miracles, 4 600's, and a handful of the all purpose (green and blue). All are new and un-used. Basically I am stocking up for my next detail.

In case it matters, I'll be using SIP, PO85RD then either WGDGS or PL.

Thanks in advance for any and all input.

For wax/sealant removal I use Special Purchase Flat Weave Wax Removal Cloths, polishing cloths, microfiber towels and very often Super Soft Deluxe Blue Microfiber Towels, microfiber detailing towels, buffing towels, micro fiber towel, detail cloth also.

Are you talking about Indigo Microfiber Applicator ? If so, they have a flat weave like the applicator but the applicator is uh an applicator lol From my experience, flat weave MF's 'break open' the wax or sealant much better then a MF with a thicker pile.

Re: Favorite MF towel for residue removal

Yes the Cobra indigo was carried by Cobra and AG had it back at the time when i purchased my PC7424XP... which is like... at least 1 and a half year ago, but they stopped selling them for whatever reason... and back then i wasn't into detailing... and now i know how good these towels perform lol =[

But yes i believe same material as their applicator

Also most of the time when i use MF towel to wipe off polishes or what not, i have a hard time... the towel is always like crumble into a ball, something i just cant seem to get a hold of, and very hard to remove polishes

They are a tad pricey. You can get 4 for under 12 bucks but still a bit high. I use them exclusively for product removal and not the grunt work so I keep about 12 in stock and ready to go at all times. The new site does look a lot better. They are getting there but they need to do some more work on it.
