Need to refresh my mf a bit. Here is what I am looking for suggestions on:

drying-I use pfm. Will like get those or something similar
windows-pfm here or waffle weaves. Any suggestions?
sealant removal - open to suggestions here
wheel drying- any suggestions on a reasonably priced towel to dry wheels? Maybe I am overthinking this. Lol

I tend to favor trc but am open to other vendors.

thanks.

Drying: stick with the PFM’s… they’ve done you well.

Windows: Griotrs crinkle PFM or the car pro glass towels.

Sealant removal. I like the green cobra MF from AG that mike recommends and the 300’s from trc.

For wheels i would use your old PFM’s. If i didn’t do that i’d buy som tec Gauntlet 12x12 or PFM 16x16.

For wheels i just use old trc spectrum towels. The work great and pretty cheap, bordered version of creature edgeless.

Kirkland always. Just remember to remove the kirkland tags from the towel.

The PFM is a great drying towel.
One of my favorite all around towels is the TRC 300. Use them to level ceramic coatings, to remove polish, compound, sealant & on glass also.

I like the NEW (not in Geek yet) Griots PFM Crinkle Glass Towel.

TRC Premium FTW glass towels are another favorite!

A lot of good recommendations here , i think i have tried the majority of the ones mentioned here already. I spent too much money on towels but I still get excited whenever I order new towels. I can recommend you other towels that ive tried , if you feel a bit adventurous you may want to give them i try


Polyte Premium Microfiber Cleaning Towel Ultrasonic Cut Edgeless, 16 x 16 in, 24 Pack
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07GX7GLGQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

make sure you are choosing the premium ones. I first order the regular for my wife because she wanted something for the house , then I ordered the premium ones by mistake to use them on the interior. Let me tell you that I do not use the premium ones in the interior , they are too quality to use them there , I actually use them on the paint. I washed them regularly and they do not loose their softness. I used 2 towels on my tires and wheels one time and even after a wash the towels were as good as new. I also have the costco towels and these polyte towels are a steal , much much better quality than costco towels. I may used them to level the ceramic coating on my car but I feel bad throwing them out ... again make sure that you are choosing the premium ones , the regular ones are not good


Sinland Ultra Thick Plush Microfiber Car Cleaning Towels Buffing Cloths Drying Towel 16Inch x 16Inch 2 Pack

one of my first purchased towels , I still used them up to this date and i have gone over to other more premium brands trying to justify getting rid of these towels and I can not. If i could have one towel in my arsennal if would be this one. Its not that best at drying or waxing but this towels does it all. Probably the towel i use the most , its absorbent enough to dry a car with 2 or 3 towels, its good for waterless washes or waxing , it doesnt lint .

Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy Sr (25x17)

yes yes i know people love the PFM, i have one too , this is probably not as good at drying? but nothing beats the softness of this towel, drying with this towel its heaven. I actually gave one to my brother as a gift and he uses it to dry his hair, he say the towel is too nice to be used on a car so he refuses to dry his car with these towel. lol . I have one that was purchased in 2011 and i still use it on my car. These towel was washed with regular detergent and on high heat in my noob days and its still good. I purchased another one a few years back that has been babied and properly washed and dry , it is holding better though.
