    Anyone every try these:

    http://store.yahoo.com/classic-motoring/dettow.html

    I was thinking of using them for removing paint cleaner/polish residue after applying with PC. I don`t want to "waste" my Charismas for such as task.

    If you want to go with cotton I would highly recommend Royal Velvet, they are awesome, I haven`t had any problems with them yet and wash after wash they stay as soft as day 1.

    I bought 5 of them from a defect outlet store, like the factory who makes them. I looked over all of them, being worried and all about my cars finish and I couldn`t find anything wrong with them, they were all the same size, all had perfect ends, none were ripped. They are probaly one inch too short or something I could notice.

    I got 5 plush shipping charges for less than 60.00, you can`t beat that if your look for one really really good cotton towel.

    Here`s the link for the outlet store:

    :bounce

    P.S. I know what your saying about not wanting to use your good towels for that purpose but I got 45 squares, each is around 2 feet by 1 foot in size and like I said, for under 60.00 it`s not that much of an "expensive item" if you break it down to each section of towel. Heck, look the price of micro fiber, it`s only a by product of one material with another....

    joed1228 - yes, I have 6 Royal Velvets and I like them alot. I use them and the Charismas for removing Zaino. I would prefer to save them for that purpose and use something else for removal of paint cleaner and or polish residue (after using the PC). I guess I could always use a few new towels...

    Detailed Elegance - White 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    My customer has a new 2011 White Jeep Grand Cherokee and wanted it detailed before the winter really sets in. The paint was in very good condition, so I was going to do a wash, clay, 1 step AIO, seal, and dress.

    Here is the process:
    Wash: ONR with 2BM
    Clay: Blackfire Poly Clay with ONR as lube
    Tires and Wheel Wells: Purple Power
    Wheels: SCG Beyond Steel
    Chrome: P21S Polishing Soap
    Windows: Meguiar`s D120
    Black Trim: 303 Aerospace Protectant
    Tires Dressed: SCG Beyond Black
    Wheels Sealed: DP Wheel Glaze

    Paint Correction: Poorboys World PwS and a 5.5" Green LC Flat Pad w/ GG 6" RO
    LSP: Collinite 845IW
    Windows Polished: Poorboys World PwS

    Sorry there are no dramatic before and afters as I stated the paint was in good condition.

    On to the pics:
