    Not a waterless or QD kinda guy but I believe the chinchillas are well thought of in that capacity. Autogeek doing 25% off w free shipping today as well

    FWIW, when I upgrade my MFs for RW/etc. work I`ll almost certainly get the Rag Company`s Eagle Edgeless.

    Re: Towels what to do

    I don`t waterless wash but the wizard is a nicer towel than the eagle edgeless when it comes to a QD. The 360 GSM makes them nicer based on my experience with both towels. I have had the eagle edgelss lint and only use them if I use the multiple towel method for a rinseless wash.

    The creature is another nice towel for QD`s.

    My least favorite towel is the minx. Does not absorb water that well or work that well as a QD towel. Good thing I only bought one to test out.

    Griot’s now has the same towels as the eagle edge less. About the same price also.

    Re: Towels what to do

    Knowing the special they run around the Holidays, I can`t bring myself to order much from TRC during the rest of the year.

    Linting during a RW doesn`t bother me as I`ll be drying with something else anyhow.

    I don`t do enough QDing to have towels designated for that...awfully unusual for me to QD anything at all between washes. Not like I`d ever QD the majority of a panel or anything like that..

    Just noticed they added 2 different GSM edgeless towels to their roster. Have you had a chance to try either yet?

    Re: Towels what to do

    I have consistency issues with the Eagle Edgeless towels I have. They are great towels, but they might lint on you, and don`t over-dry them in the drier. I`ve had to demote a few for linting, but for the sake of accuracy, lets say it was my fault for over-drying them, but.. I haven`t had that issue with other towels.

    There are two house-brand towels at DI that I really like, and the Chinchilla at PBMG are fantastic.

    Regardless of brand, you`re best served for RW and WW duties by a towel with TWO FLUFFY (LONG NAP) SIDES. Not one long nap and one short nap type. For QD, spray wax, product removal, long/short is fine, so you can`t hone in the shine with that low nap side, but in general, I don`t want that for a towel I use to "wash" my paint.

    Re: Towels what to do

    Like most folks, my Eagle Edgeless started to lint on me as well. I only use them for rinseless washes now.

    I`d try The Rag Co Pluffle 16 x 16. They`re all I use now for quick detail spray. I would think they would work just as well for waterless wash products.

    All of you guys with the linting Eagle Edgeless, I am very surprised. I have had the same Eagles for almost three years and have yet to run into a single issue with them.

    Re: Towels what to do

    Seems that experiences vary with regard to various MFs linting...the ones Tom P recommended from Wally World didn`t lint for him, but sure did for me. I can`t figure out how over-drying would cause it though.

    Q on the Eagle Edgeless-like ones at GG- are they looped like the PFMs? They don`t appear to be from what I can see online....(I don`t want looped).

    Re: Towels what to do

    Accum, I looked at mine and I`m still undecided about construction. I expected it to be like hairs, but they seemed to curl back in on themselves. Online resources say that they are "
    South Korean Split Microfiber (Circular Knit Weave)". Maybe Circular Knit Weave is a loop?? Maybe someone else can check their towels.
