Need Glass Towel Recommendation

shadow85 · 10-06-09, 10:42

I am pretty much settles on the 2 towel method for windows. I use the tight weave, short nap glass towel from ADS for the first pass. Then cobra mf ww glass towel for the final pass. The cobra mf ww for glass at 16x24 sucks. It's stiff and leaves streaks with it's stiff grid. I tried to give it a many chances but it disappoints.

Could you recommend a small soft ww for my final pass on windows? Is there another cobra towel that will suit better?

I can't stand the cobra WW MF. The best glass WW towel I have used is the Pakshak glass towel.
MICROPAK 16" x 16" Waffle Weave Micro Fiber Glass Towel

Thanks. Those look like a mini version of the larger blue perl sonus towels (that are nice and soft). Too bad they dont list the weight/weave specs like cobra. Else I can compare and buy there all purpose towels to try.

I will definitely try these ww. thanks.

I actually prefere using Huck Surgical towels. They don't leave any lint and they also don't grab/cling like MF towels do.

I have been using the Viking polishing towels. These are a woven type towel used to remove polish rather than the ones with nap. I like them plus they are different than my other towels so easy to keep separate.

Having tried scads of different "glass towels", I still do my final passes with the polypropylene glass wipes from Griot's.

Those special paper towel-like box? I see them for 20 bucks a box on Griot. Is this where you get them?

I heard the Surgical towels dont absorb well. Hmmm. They may be just enough for my second pass...

I'm sure that all surgical huck towels are *NOT* created equal, but the ones a generous member here sent me didn't work for me. Note that these *did* work fine for him, so

I think it's the same material you find in those old restroom towels machines...can't say I've ever noticed a lack of absorption.

I use the two towel method. I start on the drivers side and do the inside glass first followed by the exterior. By this time my first towel is too damp and I grab a new one for the passenger’s side of the car. So really I use 3 towels to do a car, 4 on a larger SUV.

I've tried several MF glass towels and I just don't like they way they cling to the glass, some even leave behind tiny fibers.
