What is your favorite wash mitt and drying towel from Autogeek?
 
micro chenille wash mitt, i like the gold color looks the coolest. Dont get my drying towels from the geek i like pak shak ww towels and the cg Sasquatch drying towel. At the time i was buying towels cobra towels were out of my budget so i stuck with the pakshak ones. One day i might buy a cobra hd
 
Wash mitt: Wookies Fist
Drying towel: Cobra Waffle Weave (green one)

A lot of people recommend the CarPro Merino Wash Mitt, I have it but haven't used it yet. Waiting for Wookies Fist to be used up first (which I don't think will be anytime soon with proper care). That is the only drying towel I've used and like it a lot other than a rag before I knew anything about detailing.
 
Wash Mitt...none. I use several 600 weight MF towels.

Drying towel...none. I used one damp 600 weight MF towel, spritzed with a competitor's drying product, and the Metro Blaster for hard to get places.
 
I have always used a Chenille Wash Mitt. Soon as I start a new one I cut out the inside liner so I can rotate the mitt to use both sides as I wash

Also have always used the green guzzler towels as they absorb so much water. After leaf blowing my car, 1 large towel for the car and 1 small towel for door jams, truck, etc. Yes, it's a small car, Civic.

My favorite mitt isn't a mitt at all, but a Montana Boars Hair 10" Car Wash Brush. My favorite drying towel isn't a towel, its the sun after a final rinse of DI water.
 
Wash mit? I hate wash mits. you never wash them, they are the only thing you use that actually collects dirt in them and you use them over and over again without ever cleaning them? Not for me.

I use a new/clean MFT. They are clean, no dirt in them, work great.

Drying towel, any waffle weave, the bigger the better.

I've been thinking about getting the same brush. They're expensive but should last forever with proper care. No chance of micro scratching I guess. Plus I've got 2 large vehicles I could use the brush on a handle

Why would you never wash them??
 
I prefer plush MF for wash. The best I have tried is a Microfiber Madness Summit, 800g
The Mothers foam core drying MF is by far the best for me ever. I do mostly rinseless after washing wheels and hosing down the car. I then drive it into my air conditioned garage for rinseless. I pre treat with UWW+ applied liberally with a garden sprayer.
 
My favorite wash mitt is the CarPro Merino Wool Wash Mitt

I have found that it performs exactly as advertised and does not scratch your paint (I have soft black so I would know!) It holds a fair amount of suds and really glides along the paint. Visual inspection for dirt and debris is easy against the white wool. Upkeep is the only downside: you have to rinse it out and brush it to keep it fluffy but that's really about it.

As for drying towels, I have only used one but I am happy with it: Guzzler Waffle Weave Towel. I actually just bought another. That makes it two 20"x40" and one 16"x24". If you are looking for something with foam, I have also bought (it is shipping and expected to deliver from AG on Monday from UPS) the Mother's Drying Towel. I am mostly looking to use this to clean my convertible top since the foam will allow me to lay it down and blot dry.

Hope this helps!
 
I use Meg's microfiber wash mitt or the uber sponge. For drying use the Master Blaster.
 
Meg's mf wash mitt, leaf blower on vertical panels, GG drying towels on hood roof and trunk
 
I really like the Carpro mitt a lot. I'm using some older Pak Shack drying towels.
