I've noticed this alot. My thought is they AG'ers are not aware that there is a 'Search' function available. If it is to hard to use it may need revision, etc.

I use this alot to find the information before asking and waiting for info. Alot of time I will get more pages that I could read in one day. So I filter by dates, etc.

Maybe the AG staff will create a tutorial on how to use the Search function.

Guys, if we refer every question to the search button there will hardly be any posts at all...

For paint, CarPro BOA

Interiors, Sam's Club brand MF mixed in with some misc. Older towels

Everything else.. a ragtag bunch of high quality towels. You accumulate a lot of towels when you do this for a living.

^^Those yellow Sam's Club towels are awesome. I use mostly for interior and some for door jams.

Costco aka Kirkland gold towels are nice for general use. Sure there are super high end towels out there but if you are a member it's worth trying them on your paint to see how they work for your car for the money. Now if you have a soft paint show car maytag they aren't for you but if you have a daily driver and need to do maint corrections on it occasionally anyways definitely worth a shot.

It's your money buy what you like, you will likely need to try many because seems so many people love a variety of different ones, some lint for some users, etc.

Thanks for the Ammo microfiber video link that was deleted. Good info there from a very experienced detailer. I like the info on gsm and his recommendation that you don't necessarily want the ultra plush towels for removal of product residues.

Here's some AG info from the store site.
