TRG is having a sale on their 350,380, and 500.
I have 10 of the 500 and would like to pick up
some more of the 350. Then I see 380 minx. Would
I be better served with just the 350 or would
you pick up the 380 minx as well? Help me make
up my mind.
Thanks
Jim
 
I would skip the minx. Was one of the worst towels I used. Just pushed water or product around. Good thing I only bought one to test.
 
I haven't tried the Minx but I would take Guz's advice. I do like the Eagle Edgeless for detail spray touch ups. Make sure that you wash them first before you use them.
 
I would get the yellow edgeless 500's for 3 dollars a piece. That's cheaper then what you pay when you buy 100 of them. If I didn't have so many I would be all over that.

I buy 25 at a time.

Yeah the yellow ones are better they have a higher GSM. It's a nice final buff towel. I never tried drying with it. Its basically fleece like a jacket.

Thats a great price. They are at least 4 dollars each even if you buy 50. Thats the cheapest Ive seen them. The yellow ones are nice and plush too.

Good way to put it. Well I tried it using the minx with a drying aid and it was not the best towel for that. I ended up using for door jambs and the engine bay.

The edgeless 350 and 500's are better at this task.

Yeah I find a lot of the towels will drag if they are not very saturated. Then that drag pulls all the fibers out. I hate that.

I personally believe that you’d be better
served by going with just the 350s.

Hope this helps.

Just curious. What task do you use your 500 and 350 for?
I thought I would use my 350 for removing wax or sealant
and 500 for final wipe. Open to suggestions.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO MY OTHER FANILY HERE.


Thanks
Jim
 
For sealants and polish I use the Cobra Jrs Gold Plush, Purple Cobras and the Eagle Edgeless 365 70/30 low pile.
I might break out one or the other you listed for a final once over.

Not much help there, am I.

Well nothings really set in stone as I'm still not satisfied on some tasks and towels but I use the 350's for panel wipe, I use the 500's for (final buff) on everything from waterless washing to final drying after a bucket wash, to final buff after applying products from simple detail spray to spray on coatings and paste/liquid wax. I have and use all 5 colors except red. Again I have way more than I probably "need".


I feel like I should add that the plush towels are certainly not the best at every task. Sometimes the plushness is a negative cause it can create drag. Especially if you're trying to apply something light. I don't have it all figured out yet.
 
Thanks, fightnews it's the task best suited for
these towels, is just what I'm looking for. Thank
you.

Thanks, Yeah I use the rag company 420 for waterless wash then the 365 and 300 gsm 70/30 edgeless towels for any type of polish and wax removal. Even spray wax/coating type products. Again you can use a 500 for a finial once over on that too.

I dabble in other towels too like the carpro no lints that I like but I feel you can do everything with rag company towels if you don't want to make it complicated and spend a lot of money. Stay edgeless

I use there 245's for glass and all purpose they have 10 colors so.
 
Thanks wing commander. I haven’t seen
these towels before, they look interesting.
Now I have those to think about. Thanks I think.

Fightnews, thanks again for your help.

I think I have an addiction to micro fiber.
I have all I need but am always looking.
