Dedicated towels

I dedicate some MF towels to claying and i do not use them to rub off polishes or LSP's. For me, there is a chance they will pick up some claying "stubble" as i call it left in the lube i wipe off. I will say i play it safe and clean my towels (all towels) before is use them again. By that i mean after a good wash i inspect every square inch and remove anything imbedded.

Having said that you could assume i shouldn't have anything to scratch paint from even my claying MF's but i keep it as safe as possible by using only certain towels for wiping off clay residue and lube.

I see. Makes sense.

How come I see people categorize the same towels for both wheels, door jambs and engine bay? I would think door jambs would use the same towels as paint?
 
Some people are too OCD for me. And I am super OCD.

I basically have these categories:

- Edgeless towels for Compound & polish removal, LSP, Coating install, QD (CarPro Boas or similar) I do keep a half dozen extra plush for sensitive clear. I buy in bulk so I don't mind losing here and there when coating or other situations arise.
- Special window towels and small waffle weaves
- Waffle Weave drying towels
- Crap towels for interiors, wheels, jambs
- Terry towels for carpet, tires, wells
 
This is the system I am using, I’m kind of a rookie but getting good results with this system thanks to the Autogeek forum. Nice to see everyone’s ideas on this.

Post-wash/Rinseless wash drying = the Supreme Guzzler MF towel

6 Pack The Guzzler Waffle Weave Towels by Cobra, 16 x 24 inches

Rinseless wash/Wax removal = Gold Plus MF towel

6 Pack Gold Plush Microfiber Towel, 16 x 24 inches

Door jambs/Lots of dirt/Undercarriage etc. = Cheap MF’s I bought before I discovered Autogeek…

Wheels/Tires = MF Wheel Towels

Microfiber Wheel Detailing Towels, wheel buffing towel, utility towel, black microfiber towel, shop towel

Glass = Going to try these Waffle Weave Glass towels, they look to be good

6 Pack Waffle WeaveMicrofiber Glass Towels

Interior = Going to try Miracle Towels on the recommendation from JMP earlier in the thread

The Cobra Miracle Towel is a 75/25 blend of imported microfiber. Its one of our softest detailing towels!
