Your Preferred wash mitt and drying towel for rinseless wash?

[thatick]

Im about to try my first rinseless wash with ONR and i was wondering what specific mitt and towels you guys use for your rinseless washes?

I typically use the chenille dreadlock style mf mitts but I have used a Cobra 530 ( a fairly plush towel). I use the mitt like a wash pad and do not wear it during the wash process. As for towels, I use a two towel method: one to do the initial wipe to pick up the wash and then a second as a final wipe.

I too find a thick fluffy MF towel also works well in washing.

Using the DP rinseless, I like the Cobra chenille mitt, followed by either the green drying towel or the "gold special purchase towel" I bought around Xmas. Both work well.

Cobra chenille mitts work great for me as well. For drying I like to use cobra waffle weave drying towels.

with a rinseless wash the mitt or sponge you use should be able to hold the dirt away from the paint of your car. I've been using a Carrand MF Max mitt and to dry I've been using a fluffy MF drying towel or a synthetic chamois. One thing I've learned is that while you can dry each panel right after you wash it, if you go to the next panel then come back there's not as much water left so you can get away with using 1 towel if you do that method. On hot days I've had the new version of ONR completely dry up before I even had a chance to use the towel and it didn't leave spots but I still went over it with a dampened drying towel.

So do you use a grout sponge for washing or drying? Examples of using one? Forgive me is the question is a little silly, but I thought those would be unsafe for paint in any aspect.

Washing. They're used for ONR because they're cheap (About $2-4 at Lowe's or Home Depot, and basically they are disposable. The media you use with a rinseless wash gets dirtier and therefore a lot of people don't want to use expensive mitts. They are widely used and I haven't seen anyone complain about them being unsafe...

I used a cobra bone today and really liked it.

Quick question. When using ONR to you buff with a waffle weave towel or can you just blow it off panel by panel. I have a cute little blower that would be perfect.

Another vote for the GS. Hope Depot for me. It has become my favorite combo with ONR.

I think it is important to note that there is more than one style of grout sponge. At least at Home Depot, they have both stiff orange ones and soft yellow ones, go for the soft yellow.
