Finally going to start doing/using RW and WW's... Here are my options

I've been doing waterless washes exclusively for at least 3 years and Wolfgang Uber can't be beat for effectiveness, ease of use and value. Meguiar's UWWA was great and left behind nice protection but it didn't buff off as easily. Blackfire was great as well but it didn't justify the extra $10 per bottle when I had to refill so I ended up with Wolfgang.

Would the forest green or the gold plush towels work well? I have several of each not being used

I use the Griots PFM for rinseless washes and one towel will dry the entire vehicle. I will use an additional towel if I see any dirt on the PFM.
 
This time of year with all of the crap on the road that ends up on the vehicle, I usually end up using two mitts per panel. One mitt for the bottom half and one mitt for the top half. I also usually have to change the water in the rinse bucket 3 or 4 times.
 
That’s how I use mitts year round just to be on the safe side.
 
I use Uber on most of our cars. Except my Cayman which I use Duragloss Rinseless wash with Aquawax 931 since the coating is Duragloss (which works great)

What I wanted to do is use my towels that I use for QD. They're TRC Eagle edgeless.. I currently and will continue to use them for QD and looking to also use them for RW and WW.

My concern is the RW/WW may or may not leave something behind in the towel to reduce it's effectiveness, or maybe cause the towel to degrade somehow from the cleaners in the solution

I’d worry more about the QD’s leaving polymers or what not behind. If your worrying about that McKee’s 914 has no polymers or waxes. Don’t know about the Meguiars or duragloss. Wolfgang Definitely leaves something behind. Looks good tho.

They're all good enough. If you get one you don't like, one spray per panel of a few detailers I can think of will solve that.

True... I guess that is why some towels seem to loose their absorption over time. I wondering if there is a way to soak the towels to breakdown the polymers left behind. Is APC even strong enough to do that?
 
Depending on the size of your vehicle, you're going to go through many bottles of this. My personal favorite is Adams Waterless Wash but all of the ones you list will work fine.

Try washing on hot. I use griots microfiber and pad wash. Says mix with a normal free and clear detergent. I think the hot water does a better job breaking that stuff down and the detergent aids in better removal

Their only year old but performing great

Also you will read a lot about hot water damaging MF and I’ve read enough from manufacturers and distributors to believe otherwise. In fact some recommend to actually boil your MF when the stop working.

This is from Eve’s husband

I did see that About boiling them. I doubt that Adams would say that if it wasn't trus. But read TRC,'s website, they're against hot water...

Microfiber is far more resilient to heat than most have been led to believe. In one of TRC's videos they state the melting point of polyamide to be 140 degrees Fahrenheit, which is completely false. Depending on the type of polyamide, it is more like 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, so it is completely feasible to boil your towels.

I still don't understand why TRC blatantly lie about something like that, maybe to cover their own rear ends? :dunno:
