Towels for Garry dean wash
I know this has already been asked but could not find the answer. What towels do you all use when using the dean method? Using it on black and don't want to take any chances. Also do you have trouble with zaino towels linting?

Re: Towels for Garry dean wash
When I "did" do the Dean method I used Microfibers that were not too thick and plush. I found it easier to clean as opposed to the thicker ones like the Chinchilla's or Cobra 600 g/m2's. I used the equivalent of these:
Special Purchase Light Blue Microfiber Towel
They were ample for the job. -Ed

Re: Towels for Garry dean wash
I like thick plush towels. I have rotation of 4 sets: Grey Cobra 530s, MFT 600 gsm green, AG's / MFT's blue/grey 700 gsm waterless wash towel, and Chinchillas. The green MFT towels are my favorite.
Since you don't want to go back into the bucket, I like high gsm towels because they hold a lot of liquid. I find 7 of these towels will suck up almost exactly 2 gallons of water. I never go back into the bucket once I remove a towel. Since I only use 2 gallons, I always use DI water right out of the plastic jug - costs $2.
I also find the plush thick towels don't mar the paint. This is just my preference, but I think you should use the thickest plushest towels you can afford. I always foam and pressure rinse the vehicle and spray the panel(s) down with waterless wash before touching them. I've been doing it this way for a while with zero scratches or marring.
There are faster ways to do it, but I'm looking for excellent results, not a fast car wash. Some may feel there is no point in doing a rinseless wash if you rinse the car down first. So, whatever works for you.

Swanicyouth- Using your method, how do you dry the car? I like your way but can't figure out how to avoid waterspots. Still learning. Thanks.

I know you weren't asking me, but I'll tell you how I do it...always streak/spot free:
I use a gold Cobra gold plush 16x16 towel that I put in the rinseless solution and then I ring it out as much as I can. After I wash each panel, I first dry with the damp gold plush towel and then final dry and buff with a 530 gsm towel. Ring out the gold towel again after each panel so its just barely wet. Keep the damp towel in one pocket and the dry towel in the other, so it's like 2 guns in double holster. Once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty quick.

Re: Towels for Garry dean wash
any gsm 450-600 works well
as for spots, if its hot and sunny, each panel gets dried with waffle weave as i go, if not hot, weave after whole car is done....

I also use these towels for the Gary Dean method - so far so good.
