    Need towel suggestions!

    Need to refresh my mf a bit. Here is what I am looking for suggestions on:


    drying-I use pfm. Will like get those or something similar
    windows-pfm here or waffle weaves. Any suggestions?
    sealant removal - open to suggestions here
    wheel drying- any suggestions on a reasonably priced towel to dry wheels? Maybe I am overthinking this. Lol

    I tend to favor trc but am open to other vendors.


    thanks.

    Re: Need towel suggestions!

    I would just go with TRC for most but two exceptions:
    * Drying - PFM (as noted)
    * Glass = the Carpro glass towel is great option - it`s a completely different material specific for glass

    Edit: You can check out AutoFibre as well - I have a few of their towels = excellent quality

    My current preference for windows is the Griot`s crinkle glass towel and for wheels is the TRC 12x12" gauntlet.

    Still using PFM for drying.

    Here`s my started thread topic on this very subject of suggestion for microfiber towels for various detailing tasks:
    Favorite Microfiber for Specific Detailing Task List (Autopian Suggestions)

    See post #30 for where to BUY microfibers from, including the Autopia Store.

    Microfiber Madness makes some very good quality microfibers ,BUT they are pricey and only available though the limited USA distributor of Sky`s the Limit Car Care.

    I seem to ask a lot of times for specific microfiber manufacturer`s and towel name or "weight" (grams per square Meter or GSM) and the the fiber loop type quality and edging material or if it`s edgeless for specific detailing tasks done by you Autopians in your posts. Makes a HUGE difference in the final results in my opinion, hence, my never-ending microfiber questions.

    Imported_OneQuickGT1- FWIW, I`m 100% plush MF Drying Towels. No more WWs for me, though I do use one for the first passes on the glass (before I clean/dry that for real). I blow most of the water off my wheels and finish up with *cotton* towels and a spritz of QD/RW. BUT...my wheels don`t have a fragile finish, and thus don`t need the "softest MF ever" or anything like that so the cotton works fine. And I don`t have to worry about some speck of abrasive [crap] getting stuck to a towel I might use for something else.

    Re: Need towel suggestions!

    DRYING: I can highly recommend the Gyeon Silk Dryer. It flies under the radar a bit here on the forum, but it`s a star performer. I bought the smaller version based on how much I like the big one, and often I can get by with just the smaller towel! (Although I do use a Dry Me A River towel for rockers, glass, jams, and older Guzzler towels for wheels).
