    What is your favorite microfiber towel for waterless MAINTENANCE wash?

    What is your favorite microfiber towel for waterless MAINTENANCE wash?


    I do a lot of waterless washes but almost all of them are PREP washes. I'm cleaning a car before I clay it and then do paint correction work.

    For a prep wash, I'll use either of these about about a dozen of them for one car.


    Super Plush Junior Microfiber Towels 12 Pack = 600 g/m2

    Supreme 530 Microfiber Towel 12 Pack = 530 g/m2


    The above two types of towels are close to the same except for color and the purple towel offers 70 more grams per square meter" or g/m2


    The plush side because it has a thicker or longer nap enables dirt and other contaminants to bury into the nap versus being trapped between a flat weave style surface and your car's paint. Thus a case can be made that the longer nap side of the above two towels would be safer for doing a waterless PREP wash.


    The same case could be made for doing a waterless MAINTENANCE wash assuming a person used the fluffy side, not the flat weave side.

    The blend of 75/25 polyester to polyamide also makes them quite soft another nice characteristic for cleaning car paint via a waterless wash.


    The above all said, what do you like for a waterless MAINTENANCE wash?

    Good question, Mike.

    I do have a nice selection of MF towels - mostly from Griots, so the other day I called and asked them just that - what is the recommended towel for a WW (and Rinseless) wash. To my surprise, he said the PFN Terry Drying Towel.
    PFM(R) Terry Weave Towels, Set of 2


    - Griot's Garage


    That's good, because I have plenty, but I would have thought the super plush edgeless towels would have been the ones best suited.

    For cleaning/damp wipe The Rag Company 16x16 Creature Edgeless

    For drying The Rag Company 16x16 FTW Premium Twist Loop
    or Griots Garage 16x16 PFM Terry Weave

    Never a problem with any of these, and I like the dual pile of the Creature. If I find I need to do a little scrubbing the 'flat' side works fine, and still do not have to worry about marring.

    I use the creature as well. I reached out to them directly and that was one of their suggestions. Works pretty well.

    I have ONE of these in the garage and I do like it but I haven't tried to wipe a car clean with it using a waterless wash.

    It's a VERY STOUT towel for sure.

    This is an easy one.

    Cobra Chinchilla.

    I have tried possibly 10 different types for WW, but I have never loved anything as well as the Chinchillas.
