What is your favorite microfiber towel for waterless MAINTENANCE wash?

[luckydice]

My favorite is the Shine & Buff Waterless Wash Towel.

Whatever you decide on, the lightest color would let you see the dirt more easily.

Thanks, yep you are so right.

Do these have the same nap on both sides?
Do you know why some have long nap on one side and short nap on the other.?
I normally use one towel for wipe and separate for drying.
I'm after a dedicated waterless wash towel.

Just bought the Everest 1100 GSM white towel from TRC.

Haven't used it yet, but extremely plush and greet construction. They do have a soft edge.

I like the everest alot for final buff but did not like them for waterless or rinseless. Like the pluffles and EE better for those duties.

The Everest is an awesome towel however

Do you use one towel for Waterless Wash, 1st wipe and another towel for drying?
I normally use one towel for wipe and separate (same type of towel) for drying.

I am looking at the following, wanting a dedicated towel using for MAINTENANCE waterless washes only.

Cobra Super Plush Junior Microfiber Towel, 16 x 16 inches
Shine & Buff Waterless Wash Towel
Chinchilla Microfiber Buffing Cloth, microfiber detailing towel

Am I missing out on 4 sides as fluffy is the best for waterless washes?

Why do some have long nap on one side and short nap on the other.?

There are so many choices of towels.

If I were doing a MAINTENANCE wash using a waterless wash - then I would do second option you listed.

Thing is - I rarely do maintenance washes. Almost all my washing is PREP washing.

Out of the three options you gave, I would go with the purple Cobra Super Plush Junior Microfiber Towels - 16" x 16"

Why? These are a tick stouter than the other two you listed. The other two are really soft and fluffy, I just prefer a more stout towel for wiping.

The above does seem to be the logical conclusion. A fluffy longer nap being better able to trap dirt IN the nap versus trap it between the nap and the paint - as in the nap of a less fluffy nap or flat weave nap.

Why do some have long nap on one side and short nap on the other.?

I have know idea. It has never made sense to me.

An argument can be made that it's better to have too many choices than too few choices.

Mike,

A more stout towel wiping - as in wiping on the WW. And what about the final "once over pass?"

Hi Mike thanks

Are these exactly the same on both sides (use all x8 sides)?
Are they also good suitable for final wipe (buff dry) for waterless wash?


Are Cobra Super Plush Junior Microfiber Towel, 16 x 16 inches exactly the same as Super Plush Junior Microfiber Towels 12 Pack but just bulk buying.
I need x24

MAINTENANCE wash - do you mean once a week and only wash the car gets?

Thanks again

The purple Super Plush Junior Microfiber Towels have a FLAT weave side and a FLUFFY side.

The above two links go to the same TYPE of towel, just different quantities.

Maintenance wash is not a measure of how often, it's a measure of the condition of the car.

When or if a car is perfect, then you do a maintenance wash.


I'll be back in the office next Thursday, offline right now for the SDC - traveling back to Stuart, Florida.
