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.

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.
