    I think the Cobra Chinchillas are VERY underrated all-purpose towels.

    In the process, I have been stocking up on certain towels to make a decent set for each use case.





    So this is where I am sitting at the moment -

    Wash Pads -
    TRC Cyclone Bone x2
    TRC Cyclone 10X10 x2
    TRC Cyclone x2

    Drying Towels -
    TRC Gauntlet Medium x 6
    TRC FTW x 9 (3 Pink, 3 Blue, 3 Orange)

    Rinse-less Washing -
    TRC Platinum Pluffle x 10

    Door Jamb Towels -
    TRC Dry Me A River Medium x 2
    TRC Dry Me A River Jr. x 2
    TRC Creature x6 (Blue) (My cars)

    Glass Towels -
    TRC Dry Me A River Jr. x 8 (Dark Blue)

    Coating Removal Towels -
    TRC Edgeless 300 x15 (Blue)

    Wax/Sealant/Polish Towels -
    TRC Creature x15 (Light Grey)

    Multi-Purpose/Beater Towels -
    TRC The Car Wash Towel x10 (Grey)
    TRC The Car Wash Towel x10 (Royal Blue)

    Interior Towels -
    TRC The Car Wash Towel x10 (Dark Green)
    TRC Creature x6 (Green) (For delicate surfaces)

    Engine Bay Towels -
    TRC The Car Wash Towel x10 (Red)

    Wheel Towels -
    TRC Gauntlet Small x 6

    Applicators -
    TRC Pearl Sponge (Orange) (Restocked as needed)
    TRC Eagle Sponge (Restocked as needed)

    All washed in P&S Rags to Riches.

    PFM to dry but will be trying the gauntlet because the 15x24 size interest me. All the twisted loop MF drying towels I have tried have been good.

    The TRC 300/AG Forrest Green for polish/LSP removal.

    TRC Everest for final buff.

    Kirklands for dirty jobs and throw aways

    Re: Go to Towels

    I get mine from TLD- they are about $6 apiece and used for final wipe down after initial polish removal is done. The rest are about 300-350 GSM for inital polish removal

    Re: Go to Towels

    All towels serve a different purpose. My favorites are the Griots PFM for drying, Speed Master Waffle Weave and Griots Crinkle for glass, Rag Company Eagle Edgeless for applying spray on wipe off products, and Griots PFM dual weave wax removal towels.
    I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

    PFM’s are awesome towels. TRC has great towels also (I have thousands) Lately, I’ve gotten into KLIN towels which are PHENOMENAL!

    Those crinkles are slept on. Best glass towel I’ve used. Only complaint is that you have to completely refold or use two to do glass. Wish they woulda just made it flat 10x10.
