Which Microfibers Towels do I need? Too many choices...Overwhelmed...Help

[AdamsImport]

Hi guys,

I am trying to stock up on some towels, and right now I only have the bulk microfiber towels from Costco.

Is there really any difference between the quality of microfiber towels? Which ones do I need?

I am setting up a workspace for mostly production detailing, but I like having good quality tools to get the job done.

get some chinchilla's for waterless and rinseless washing, and a heap of cobra rolled edge, maybe some black towels to use exclusively for wheels (black hides the stains)

look for 70% polyester, 30% polyamide for the best combination of strength and softness. 75/25 is ok too. 80/20 is what those costco mf's are made of... still good for jambs and general cleaning...

mother's waffle weave drying towel is good
and maybe a glass towel...

I have about a hundred towels. All different kinds. From the worst towel (Costco yellow) to my favorite (an orangey looking really soft towel I got here that they don't seem to have anymore.)

The only towel I regret buying was a towel that had the edges cut with what looks like a hot wire. The edge is really rough and I only use them for wheel now. They are black and about 16 x 16

The Cobra Supreme is my favorite towel that Autogeek currently has. But some people feel that it absorbs too much product and is wasteful. But I really like them.

Alright, thank you guys, I will be putting together my order in a few and want to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

I wish there was a "package" just for towels to make it Bubba-proof for bubba's like me. Too many options sometimes is a little too much for me!

Autogeek sells a really nice cobra microfiber towel kit for $50. Comes with an assortment of microfibers. 4 thin ones and 6 really nice plush towels.

The white Sonus towels with red ribbing are nice.

I think I'm going to get one of these when I make my next purchase.

My favorite polish/wax removal towel by far.


Other than that I have probably 20 glass towels, 18 rinseless/waterless towels (rolled edge), 10 drying towels, and a lot of crap towels I use for the dirty stuff...
