    Hi all,



    What glass only towel do you like and use? I`m in the market to pick up some glass only towels for detailing and wanted your feedback.



    1. Suede towel

    2. Small Waffle Weave towel

    3. Other type of towel





    Also, what size do you think will be best?



    With Aloha,

    Ranney

    Ranney, would is possible to combine ww and suede in 1? ww on one side suede on the other? Talk about a unique towel :up



    I`m always looking for the ultimate glass towel, the Viper was nice, I use the Detailers Paradise Norwex now but it`s still not perfect.
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    I agree. A suede/ww would be ideal. I usually just use ww`s on my glass, but then again I don`t own any suedes, so I`m kind of biased. I can certainly see myself using a dual sided towel though, ww for the initial/cleaning pass and then suede for the final wipe/buff pass.

    In a combo pack of MF`s I bought locally a few years ago (for home use, not on my cars) there was a small (6" x 6") suede MF included for cleaning glasses, etc.. I have used one for cleaning CD`s and one for glasses; they seem to work very well for those small applications.



    I currently just use a regular MF for glass, but ideally (as JDookie suggests) it would be nice to use a suede MF as the final pass.



    Thanks for supplying us with quality MF`s Ranney :up

    I like the Viper glass towels but I have been using the Pinnacle Cobra Waffle Weave lately with superb results. Bill`s Norwex is terrific also.



    I`m waiting on PakShak to invent an ultrafine WW for glass.

    I got my Viper Glass towel from Autogeek last year. Its very nice. I also use the cheap Nicsand MF`s with the heavy nap. They work well.



    Can`t wait to see a new Pakshak MF Glass Towel....

    I have not had much luck using suede MF`s for glass cleaning, I usually end up using a Pakshak green MF for initial wipe and a ww for the final swipe, works the best for me so far.

    I use some Viking (or maybe Buffalo?) terry cloth towels for glass cleaning. I just get too much drag with MFs. I buy the towels at Pep Boys and they have a somewhat rougher texture than most terry cloth towels. I`ll try and stop by tomorrow and see if I can get the exact brand name and product number. I`ve been using them for 7-8 years now.

    I agree with scott, I get way too much drag witha regular MF. I use the Viking also. And even then I have a hard time getting the glass spot free and clear.

    Scott brings up a good point. MF does tend to pull, however I have found this to not be a problem with WW glass towels.

    So far my favorite is the SONUS Der Wunder Polishing Towel or the Viking Edgeless MF, both seem identical and are orange. I`ve gotten the Viking towel from Autozone but I don`t remember the price. I like it for removing polish and wax too....very versatile towel that hasn`t disappointed me yet. :xyxthumbs

    I`ll have to try the Der Wunder polishing towel. I just got the Pinnacle Cobra WW Glass towel and washed it today so it will tested tomorrow. I`ll have to compare the two of them. I could see the texture of the Sonus working well on glass.

    I don`t like the MFs which are made for glass. I prefer the Sonüs Der Wunder Polishing Towel. This towel has a much lower nap than most MF towels and is perfect for glass IMO. The low nap allows it to glide over glass, yet it`s still plenty absorbent.
