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

    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 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.

    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.
