Hi everyone,
AG having a big MF towel sale today. I have normally been using Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 500's, which aren't on sale. I have been reasonably happy with the RagCo, but have found them to lose their fluffiness faster than I anticipated.
Any other brands on high pile edgeless towels that people recommend checking out?
Thanks

I like, use and show the Forrest Green Edgeless Towels in these articles,

Thanks Mike! Haven't tried those before. For whatever reason I've been using the very fluffy stuff...
Do you recommend the forest green towels for rinseless and/or waterless washing as well?

As long as you keep any towel from becoming contaminated, that's what's most important. I covered this in a recent Tuesday video, did you see it?

I use flat weave towels like the Forrest Green towels for anything in NICE shape. If I'm working on something in bad shape then I tend to use something with more of a nap to trap dirt.
Here's an example, I had to waterless wash this dirty and neglected car, so I used a towel with a large nap.

The real truth is the car is dirty. She's parked outside 7 days a week, 24 hours a day as the garage hold other toys that beat this one out.

I used and reviewed this product here (https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews-by-mike-phillips/125745-review-pinnacle-black-label-waterless-wash-protect.html) a few weeks ago on my own car and it worked great. With a half a bottle ready to use, let's put it to work.

Remember - the correct way to use a waterless wash is with lots of towels.

That's better - now the car looks clean because she is clean.

The Forrest Greens are out of stock so I bought a dozen of the Fight Blue version the other day, the descriptions appeared to be the same.

Yancy titled it,
How to use and care for microfiber towels
but that's not actually what it's about. He said those words would get better search engine results. While that might be true and I do cover washing and drying towels, it's more about how and why to inspect your towels and then I dive into that topic deep. Like flat weave vs fluffy weave.
