I needed the following:

Is their a premade kit? Or can you suggest a store and individual towls . . . ideally with different colors for interior and exterior (heck even for each purpose if you can)

Hi



For washing you (IMO) shoulds use a sheepskin wash mitt, safer for the paint than other methods. As for the towels there are several vendors that can supply some excellant towels. I would recommend you try:



Exceldetail

http://www.prestostore.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?ref=exceldetail&ct=30109



and



Pakshak

http://pakshak.com/micropak.html



Both sites hae discriptions on what each towel is good for, you can't go wrong with either.

I am a big fan of Pakshak MFs, get the large WWs for drying and some UltraFines for buffing and QDing. As far as regular MFs for removing polish, wiping interiors, and grunge work (keep and wash these grunge ones seperate) the MFs from Sams Club work just fine. I have never had a problem with these and 18 for $8 is a great deal. I can not justify buying a $4 towel for interior wiping and polish removal when I keep atleast 100 of them around.

Excel for exterior paint work.



For dirty jobs, I get the really crappy MF's from WalMart that they sell 2 for $.97.

You cannot go wrong with Pak Shak or Excel Detail.

Another vote for Pakshak.



Dont forget to ask for the Autopian discount.

Paks..............Just placed an order for 10 Ultras. They have good quality MF's.

Just reread your post. Pak has a new glass MF. It's a tight , thin waffle weave. I got two of those about month ago. Awesome!! The best glass towel that I have used, I love it. I just order two more, along with the other 10, Just to have around. Id like to keep one in the car along with a few other MFs.:xyxthumbs

Mequiar's new line of Gold Class Accessories includes the Water Magnet Drying Towel, Supreme Shine MicroFiber cloths and the Duo-Fiber Glass Towel. These products all are of very high quality. They are easy to find at auto stores and are very reasonably priced.

agreed, as well as the blue viking mf drying towel (these are one of the plushest/nicest mf's out there today, and are just as good as any other) & the gold edgeless polishing cloth :up

Is it just me or does Excel seem cheaper than Paks? How much of a discount does Paks offer Autopians. I put Autopia in the forum box, but I don't see a discount. Is there a code I'm missing?

After trying them out, I have to agree. The Supreme Shine towels are perfect for QDs since they have a thick nap. I like the glass towel but it is too large. You have to fold it over too many times and MFs really grab onto glass when they are mostly dry and the towel tries to unfold itself. If it was 16 x 16, it would be perfect.



Online, PakShak and Excel have outstanding towels and both Ranney and Patrick are a pleasure to deal with.

JJ-you have to e-mail Ranney with your order number and he will make the change.

I've tried the Viking glass cleaner and drying MF towels. I've found them locally at the Checker Auto stores. They seem to be good quality towels, but I haven't seen any of the towels you people talk about from online stores.

He just told me to put `Autopia Special` in the comments box on the order form.

I own both towels and am a big fan of them. I own only PakShak and Excel towels. However, I am bias towards Excel because of their cheaper prices and even cheaper shipping.
