So had an Audi Q5 come in this weekend for a ceramic coating job, obviously full correction was done. But I was stumped when it came to which towels to use to buff off the products. I've seen guys have used the yellow costco towels...that did not work well. They were brand new but on the black Audi paint they were causing marring marks. After re polishing the hood I started trying other towels...but that led to a headache, I eventually got it buffed down but wasn't thrilled with the outcome. The customer was blown away but I was not happy and knocked off some money for the job.

Also are you guys throwing away the towels? Or immediately throwing them in for a steam wash? I did that and I THINK the coating came off...but I'm scared to try them.

I use some short nap 300 gsm 70/30 towels for the initial wipe/removal and do a final buff with plush edgeless micros. It is the combination I used for both CSL and EXO. I usually tho them in a bucket and wash and reuse. But are cheap enough to throw if needed.
