Best Rinseless Wash Towels?

[Jacob Harrod AUTOCLEAN]

Hey guys,

I've recently switched over to just doing rinseless washes so this way I can wash inside my shop and not have to worry about getting water spots on the cars.

I was wondering what the best rinseless wash towels are?

I've been using the forest green edgeless polishing cloths over my last couple of washes but I need to switch to something different.

I also do exclusively rinseless, and have various towels from different manufacturers, but all of them are 360 GSM ....too much “plush” doesn’t work as well.

I use the Cobra Shine and Buff towels for rinseless, which is also my primary wash.

I also have the Shine & Buff Waterless Wash towels. I've just been using them for Waterless Washes Though.

Perhaps I can repurpose them. They are 600 GSM.

Glen says he's had the best luck with 360 GSM towels.

I may just have to try the Shine and Buff now and then try some others later.

Thanks guys!

These are decent, right in the sweet spot of plush but not too plush at 400 gsm.

90% of the vehicles I do are rinseless. The towels I use are 16x16 Eagle Edgeless Microfiber Towel - Blue I also use a traditional two bucket method with a microfiber wash mitt. Either way works great.

I use Edgeless 400GSMs (forgot where I found them now) - but thinking these new TRCs sound like they would work great:
TRC FTW Towel

Unless I'm wrong, these are meant more for wax/compound removal, not as a RW towel.

Quoting Mike - "All I know is - I like them. For removing compounds, polishes, AIOs and basically anything "paint" related."

Well if they can remove wax = they can remove dirt - also seems like the nap is going to capture dirt nicely! On top of that they are 550GSM - so soft and non scratchy / stiff = a perfect combo for Rinseless Wash towel in my book.

But hey - there's always the tried and true:
TRC Edgeless

FYI - I prefer Orange color for this purpose - it's super easy to see the dirt as it builds up so you know when you need to swap sides and or towels.

Yep, those towels are very nice. I also use them on the interior areas that are piano black which tend to get swirls if you look at them the wrong way.

I put in an order last week and wanted to order these, but they seem not to be pre-orderable, which is kind of a shame, because with GG there is a hefty shipping charge if you don't meet the minimum order amount.

I have been eyeing these as well.......

I normally use the Big Red Sponge but on the few occasions I go for towels, I use these:

Shine & Buff Waterless Wash Towel

Really nice towel and I like that the 2 sides have different colors as it’s easier to manage the sides as I’m flipping the towel between passes.

These are quite expensive although i do usually find Griots is worth it. Do you have any TRC EE? How do they compare

The Eagle Edgeless and the Pluffles from TRC seen to be the best of all the towels i’ve tried (i’ve tried alot)

I prefer the 500gsm over the 350 and 600gsm. Wipes well, removes dirt in one pass. The 350’s would be second choice but i like that the 500 holds more liquid.

Order a pack of both to decide your favorite

Wasn't a fan of the TRC's EE. At first I was, then they linted like hell.

To be fair, I think there was a thread about a bad batch of them or something.

Either way, I like the GG towels better, and if they ever crap out (manufacturing defect) I know good and well they will stand behind it and replace it for me.

I like eagle edgeless 500s from TRC
