    Which microfiber towels for washing the car?

    Yesterday, I went to apply a coat of Klasse Sealant and FK1000p on the car to compare which one performs better in winter. I usually do rinseless washing with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash. But after this rinseless wash, I noticed the paint failed the plastic bag test.
    Question 1:
    what should be my next steps? Clay bar again? I use Nanoskin blue sponge.


    I thought of going to the coin-op to wash the car but I do not want to do 2 bucket wash. I would rather do one bucket wash with multiple microfiber towels. If I am to do this,
    Question 2:
    Which microfiber towels I should use for washing the car? I have Eagle Edgeless towels, will these work or there are better (specifically for washing) available?
    (or what GSM range should I use)

    Thanks in advance.

    I would say the TRC Eagle Edgeless is a good choice.

    I really like the TRC Creature 16x16 for doing a damp wipe during a rinseless washing. But since they are dual pile (I only use the fluffy side on the paint) it would require more towels if you were using the 'bucket of towels' method.

    This is what I use and really like. I also bought several of Griot's MF Wash Pad (not mitt/no cuff) and I use those often too.

    I believe Mike uses the green towels from AG when he does it and they are a low pile. I like the eagle edgeless because i think with longer fibers would be better to trap dirt but in truth i and most of us have no real idea.

    The TRC pluffle is another great one. Think EE and waffle weave had a baby.

    I personally just use more MF wash mitts. 6-8


    I use these for the tops and upper sides and my old chenilles on the lowers.
