    Everything. I just realized that ALL my microfiber towels are 15+ years old and aren't very absorbent at all anymore. They smear whatever wax or sealant I'm using instead of removing it and they are leaving "washing & drying " marks in my paint. They are long past due to be rotated to secondary duties (door jams, wheels and tires etc) and have no business on the actual painted surfaces.

    I think you could do better for a hundred bucks. In my opinion 9X9 towels are almost useless, 16X16 is imminently more practical for most uses. Yes drying towels are sometimes needed which are larger and more absorbent. Specialty MF soap is handy but not required. Shop Autogeek a little harder and buy more than you think you'll need. You can get both quality and quantity by being a savvy shopper.

    I’d get some of The Rag Company’s:

    •20ea. Eagle Edgeless 350 16X16
    (4ea. 5-Pack @ $20.00 = $80.00)

    •10ea. Eagle Edgeless 500 16X16
    (2ea. 5-Pack @ $24.00 = $48.00)

    If you are uber careful with your towels, by this I mean,



    Store them when they are clean where they cannot become contaminated.

    Store them after using in some type of CLEAN hamper (before washing), where they cannot become contaminated.

    Wash then and dry them.

    Fold and inspect - the STORE where they cannot become contaminated





    Then "yes" that would be a good well-rounded starter supply of microfiber towels. I think we can all agree that Griot's puts out top quality and WELL THOUGHT OUT PRODUCTS.

    I really like these, I have over 300 in the AG garage. I refer to them as my,

    Paint Care Towels



    They are ONLY for use when "touching" car paint. You'll see them in these two how-to articles.

    And this one,

    I show this towel for both types of washing,





    And if you think about it, the thing we ALL do the most to our cars is.....

    Wash it

    And washing a car means TOUCHING the car. So the towels better be completely free from contaminants or you will re-instill swirls and scratches each time you wash the car.

    All of those Griot's towels are top-notch. I have all of them save for the wax removal ones.

    As Bob posted above, The Rag Co. towels are excellent. I really like my Gold Plush towels, and the RC towels are every bit as good or better.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    The only towels I have used are Rag Company and Griots Garage and have been very happy with both. It has been a quite a while since I purchased towels but as I recall the Rag Company had better pricing on towels. Either way you cannot go wrong.
