Do you guys like use a microfiber with no nap like the one in the pic or do you like a towel with more nap? The reason I like the no nap, which I only own a few(can't find any), is because things don't seem to get stuck in the towel. I am always picking stuff out of my towels before I wash them and the towels in the pic don't seem to have this issue.

What do you guys like?

When I use waterless washes, I usually use Cobra Deluxe Jr 600 (http://www.autogeek.net/cobra-deluxe-jr--microfiber-towel.html) for majority of the cleaning and then use the rolled edged MF (http://www.autogeek.net/super-soft-microfiber-towels.html) for the final swipe. However, when AG gets the Chinchilla (http://www.autogeek.net/chinchilla-microfiber-cloth.html) MF clothes back in, I'd like to scoop those up.

I prefer WWs for wiping any liquid from the surface. I'm not about to use my good WWs for a rinseless so I picked up some el cheapo 16x24s from stocktowelsnow.com. They're thinner, not as absorbant but they're soft, cheap, don't mar and wash up well. After a rinseless I usually spritz with DWAW or M34 and use the plush Cobra Deluxe Jrs.

I'd advise avoiding the red ones.. they bleed like a stuck pig for numerous washes. :doh:

I dont know if ill ever get those towels again...I myself believe they are the same towels as CG sells. I got some of them last summer and they didn't stay soft long. I want the plush blue ones but they are out of stock. I'm waiting for a response to see when they'll get more in.

I need a towel with great absorbancy because when its could it tough to dry a car. I really looking for towels to dry with a rinseless wash.

I use all-purpose first passes since I'm rinsing/wringing-out often. Then another light pass per panel with a Cobra plush.

Bath towels- after all its a bath for your car











Seriously though I've been using long nap towels but I tried a Cobra gold towel and it works well and I can see what your saying about things getting stuck in the nap but really I haven't had a real issue with things getting stuck.

I guess the reason mine get stuff in it is because I'll have them in a basket but when the rear door on my van and side door are open things tend to fly around and stuff always get in them. I would put a lid on it but then it would get musty. I don't wash towels everyday;Every other day

Have not introduced myself properly I am Alvin from Indianapolis, In new to your web site, but have had exprience with microfiber, know excatly waht you are talking about when you say tou have to pick things out of them, made a review on microfiber a few months ago, the one they call the mircle towel work very good for removing wax and polish, but the only down side is that you have to carefull where you lay them, becasue they pick everything.

+1 for Chinchillas, I also have a very similar towel from another company that is also about 600 GSM.
