Final wipe with a ZAP cloth. Love griot’s Crinkles glass towels and zap hasn’t been needed

Amazon.com
Only thing is I wish they were two seperated towels I use two now one folded to each side so I don’t have to refold while using.
Especially good for windshield

I have black towels for "dirty" jobs and they go in with the mitts, although when I still dried wheels with towels they got washed separately as did my wheel mitt
I have never done a coating so I don't have those towels to toss or contend with
The one thing I wish I had a better bead on is microfiber wheel "brushes" (woolies, etc) and what you really should be doing to keep them cleaned after a session
Mine don't have the covers that come off so you can't launder them
I blast them off with the pressure gun and leave them upside down in a bucket to dry
I just inspect before reusing. Ones like barrel blade and detail factory you can remove part that touch’s rim and wash

Just dont go overboard. Don’t know how much my opinion holds credence but I’m a fan.
All these are Griots and one cheap twisted loop from MTM (great F’ing towel they don’t sell anymore). All except baby blue Griots are PFM’s
Glass towels aren’t pictured but best I’ve personally used (haven’t used a lot of glass towels though).
Autoegeek had an awesome MF sale I think in 2020 so I got stupid. Figured I’d be on round 2 but like I said before old ones are still Pure Fu€k!ng Magic….
You may be tempted to buy XL drying towel I wouldn’t. You could probably dry it with 2 of the mediums and much better user experience with smaller towels.

I think there is a 12 step program for that
Step 1, buy towels
Step 2, use towels
Steps 3-12, rinse and repeat
And for the record as far as I am concerned, your opinion carries a LOT of weight with me
Now, run on down to the Griot's flagship store, cause I know it isn't far from you, and fill a couple of big boxes with towels (and Stevie) and send them on up

I remember being down there when the counter person was training her. Next thing I know I see her in the videos. If you can’t get them and need me to send you some just let me know.

Thanks for the kind offer

Re: Cleaning Wash Mitts And Drying Towels
I just used a TRC FTW towel the other day, hard to complain about that one.

Autofiber has a couple like that now, the Amphibian Mini and Amphibian Inside Out--I bought both of them, but haven't used either yet, maybe in a couple of years, I'm not on Chilly's 12-step program.
