    MF towel sizes for liquid duties

    Would like to order a set of Chinchillas for QD duties as well as waterless/rinsless washes to replace my lavender deluxe 600's. I currently have the 16x24 size.

    Would like to hear opinions on what size for the Chinchillas. 16x16 or 16x24?

    Big fan of 16"x16" for anything on my paint besides a big WW drying towel.

    For some reason I like 16"x24" for glass or wheel/jamb towels.

    Not a big fan of larger towels...16x16 for me or close to that size.

    I find the chinchilla towel to be to small. It is very hard to keep folded when using . I have the 16x16 size

    16x16", but Chinchilla is not your towel IMO. I do have 6 or 7 or them, but some of them do this weird stretchy thing when they get wet. They aren't bad, but for waterless washes there are better.

    I like the 600 gsm from Microfiber Tech.

    You did good with the 16x16's.... that's about as big as is workable.
    I picked up a 10 pack of Eurow 660's recently and they are actually 12x16. Thought at first I wouldn't like them, being as 16x16 is what I'm used to. Come to the end of the first day I wondered why I'd not got any sooner!
