Hey guys,

This is what I currently have for towels:
- The Guzzler kit (3 waffle wave towels - small, medium, big)
- Gold Plush Juniors (6)
- General terry towels (12)
- Various microfiber towels that WON'T be used on paint

So...am I missing anything? I think I will buy another Guzzler kit down the road and maybe another six Gold Plush Juniors. I am hoping I can get by with this for now.

I woud say a pack of Kirkland microfiber towels from Costco would suffice as general purpose towels for a while. I can't imagine doing anything with less than 20 Gold Plush Jr's. I prefer at least 30. I used to use various waffle weave towels for drying but the Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy towel is not hype, it is really everything everyone says it is. Other than that, I dry with air.

Seems like you're pretty well covered aside from bumping up your quantity of MF's. BTW should you have any questions on any other MF's, this thread has some good info. :xyxthumbs:

I am ordering 10 360GSM (Gold and Black) and then 10 530GSM. Cardaddy seems to know his microfibers so I am going to trust him on this one.

I already have 6 Gold Plush Juniors and the Waffle Weaves for drying. I also ordered 36 Kirkland Microfibers for the non paint related work.

I should be good to go!

Finally bought some of the Kirkland golds and I am impressed for the price!

Does anyone have an approximate gsm for the Kirklands. When I google them, the first amazon listing says they are 350gsm but nowhere else does it say this.

Does 350gsm sound about right for these?

It sounds fair.

Carefully cut the tags off of them before using. They're really a decent all-purpose towel that you don't have to have heart palpitations over if they get stained.
