[PeteT19640]

Hi
How many microfiber towels are ideal for a waterless wash for a large car?

Thanks in advance

One simple search, and i found your answer, mike phillips already covered this subject in a waterless wash cobra towel review.

How many towels do I need?

Figure a minimum of one towel per body panel and two tales for larger panels like a large hood or roof.

12-14 + 1 extra in case one drops on the ground.

Do a rinseless instead, you can do it with five towels, And have a much less chance to scratch your car. Search YouTube for the “Gary Dean method.”

Depends how dirty the car is... I regularly do my entire truck with one or two.

But then again, my truck never gets very dirty and if it does I'll do a conventional wash.

Same here. The only time I'll do a WW is strictly for light dust.

2 cleaning towels, and a final buff towel. (Cobra Chinchilla).

Only waterless like others for light dust. I do alot of rinseless’ and use and use about 8-12. One swipe per side.

One for me. I'm only removing dust on a Corvette I can refold a 16" towel to expose 8 surfaces. I have 8 surfaces I wash.

The other determinant factor is how you use the towels. I have 16" x 16" towels I fold in half then half again which gives me effectively 8-towels. Doing this, I typically put 6-towels in my bucket if fairly dirty and 3- if lightly dirty. When very dirty, I first take the vehicles to a self-serv car wash and do a high pressure soap and rinse (never use the soap brush except on the running boards, wheel well and wheels). Then back at our 5th wheel I do the water less wash.

I use 2 not including the drying towel and not including the glass. They usually wind up looking like this after I’m done. I do the entire side of the car with 2 sides of a towel so as you can imagine I’m not overly careful in regards to the wiping, it’s possible to get away with it with the proper technique.

Lsp, liberal amount of WW, good microfiber towels [Kirklands], good wiping technique [less fear = best results]

2 towels get dirty front & back. Glass gets squeegee + dedicated glass towels.
