    Re: Go to microfiber towels for a Rinseless set up?

    DI edgeless double thick ultra-plush towels. 12 of them seems to be the norm.

    Re: Go to microfiber towels for a Rinseless set up?

    I use the regular bulk package towels for rinseless washes. I always pre soak so I never have an issue with a dry towel and I haven't needed to use 30 towels either. I usually use about 5 or so total, including wiping down door jams as well. So far from everytime I've touched the car I've got about 5 minor swirl marks on my entire car after a year and a half so I can live with that. I save the good rag company towels for the final buffs and what not, not for the washing process itself.

    Re: Go to microfiber towels for a Rinseless set up?

    I think a lot of people over do it with the gdwm. I mean you switch to a new towel everytime there's dirt on it but you don't do rinse your wash mitt out every a single swipe of it. One panel gets one side of the towel unless it's really dirty then the lower panels get their own. Or I just power wash it first at a coin wash then rinseless wash it at home.

    Re: Go to microfiber towels for a Rinseless set up?

    I have ordered an array of different towels plus the hundreds I already own. I'm going to test out a few based off recomindations and go from there.

    So far I have only used the eagle edgeless, I like them but being only 480gsm they feel a little thin for a waterless/rinseless imo.

    If you feel the Eagles are thin for rinseless, try the Everest 1100. Great towels and being white they show all the dirt being picked up. I just got another case last week.

    Is 1100 too thick? Are you using them for the initial wipe? Or for everything

    I found them to be too thick. I no longer use them on paint but rather as a workout towel.

    Re: Go to microfiber towels for a Rinseless set up?

    I don't use them often for rinseless but I have used them a handful of times and they are Nice. Really comes down to using whatever feels best to you. I was just suggesting the 1100's to you because you said the Eagles felt too thin. I would suggest that if you were to use them, make sure too make a little man re solution because they hold so much water.
    I typically will use Eagles or Creatures when doin rinseless FWIW.
