Suggestions on alternative MF towels for wax/sealant and polish removal
I used to use TRC Eagle edgeless 350 rags for years but It seems that they dont really bite into stuff when removing say polishes or waxes/sealants. Is it just the nature of the long non-looped fibers? Is there something else worth using that is considered good?
TRC has WAY too many rags available lol....
If the Eagle Edgeless 350 is stillt he go to, I'll just deal with it and get more just in other colors and use them for specific things. Such as red for wax, blue for polish etc.
Maybe my towels are just, dead maybe? They're about 5 years old but look great!

The MF-towels, that I’ve listed below, are
described to be woven specifically for wax
and polish removal. As such, and in IMO:
they can be considered very good; and are
definitely worth using.

Griots has a wax removing PFM that is amazing. I like the creature edgeless 420 gsm with a long nap on one side considerable to the eagle 350’s and then a short nap that works well for tougher removing product. I recently used the 365gsm edgeless and it was also nice. Much cheaper than the eagles and I feel just as nice

a microfiber like the gold plush jr's (one side plush other low) or any which are in the 300-420gm (or so) range will be good to use all around. shaggy towels tend to mop/drag around (more wipes to remove product), and lint too (better at absorbency). i use to use microfibers like that years ago when i discovered the eurow shag towels (the first of it's kind to come to the auto car care world) over a decade ago, but don't really use them anymore for one of the reasons you mentioned. i wouldn't get caught up in having tons of different microfibers for every little thing and just keep it simple, and your wallet will thank you too...

The 365 and 300 from TRC are my go to for compound and polish removal. They are soft yet really pull the spent compound/polish off with ease. I’d save the Eagles for QD work or final wipedowns.

I've been switching over to these towels for,
- Removing polishes
- Removing waxes and sealants
- The final buff when wiping off ceramic paint coatings
- Waterless ceramic coating washes
- Rinseless ceramic coating washes
Easily my favorite microfiber towel.
Buy 24 and then wash them together, dry them together and store them where they will stay clean and uncontaminated.
Nice towels.
I showcase them in these two articles and recommend them to my own customers. I would do this if I didn't trust they were bubba-proof.

Just to let you know, your post has been reported. One of the comments in the report is that you continually recommend these towels. I haven't paid attention and I'm not a Moderator on this forum but the real Mods are now looking to see if this is so.
Maybe post recommendations for the Roman towels on the Luxury Microfiber car detailing discussion forum?

Point taken Mike and I'm sure it wasn't you who reported me because your far to important to run around being the forum police since you've got the traveling road show, posting about the traveling road show, promoting the traveling road show and everything else you do for AG, hell, I've even talked about the traveling road show and the promotion of the traveling road show here but I'm sure I know who it was though. I see products not sold here on AG talked about all the time but I have plenty of time to join that guy who probably reported me, where's my badge so I can join the force, a force for good, a force what's right and just
