Do you guys like use a microfiber with no nap like the one in the pic or do you like a towel with more nap? The reason I like the no nap, which I only own a few(can't find any), is because things don't seem to get stuck in the towel. I am always picking stuff out of my towels before I wash them and the towels in the pic don't seem to have this issue.

What do you guys like?

I prefer WWs for wiping any liquid from the surface. I'm not about to use my good WWs for a rinseless so I picked up some el cheapo 16x24s from stocktowelsnow.com. They're thinner, not as absorbant but they're soft, cheap, don't mar and wash up well. After a rinseless I usually spritz with DWAW or M34 and use the plush Cobra Deluxe Jrs.

I'd advise avoiding the red ones.. they bleed like a stuck pig for numerous washes. :doh:

Seriously the best waterless/rinseless towel ever.

Now if everyone could just get them back in stock....

I dont know if ill ever get those towels again...I myself believe they are the same towels as CG sells. I got some of them last summer and they didn't stay soft long. I want the plush blue ones but they are out of stock. I'm waiting for a response to see when they'll get more in.

I need a towel with great absorbancy because when its could it tough to dry a car. I really looking for towels to dry with a rinseless wash.
 
I use all-purpose first passes since I'm rinsing/wringing-out often. Then another light pass per panel with a Cobra plush.
 
Chinchilla's are my new favorite for WW's The Gold plush and Rolled edge ones are nice also.
 
Bath towels- after all its a bath for your car











Seriously though I've been using long nap towels but I tried a Cobra gold towel and it works well and I can see what your saying about things getting stuck in the nap but really I haven't had a real issue with things getting stuck.
 
I guess the reason mine get stuff in it is because I'll have them in a basket but when the rear door on my van and side door are open things tend to fly around and stuff always get in them. I would put a lid on it but then it would get musty. I don't wash towels everyday;Every other day
 
Have not introduced myself properly I am Alvin from Indianapolis, In new to your web site, but have had exprience with microfiber, know excatly waht you are talking about when you say tou have to pick things out of them, made a review on microfiber a few months ago, the one they call the mircle towel work very good for removing wax and polish, but the only down side is that you have to carefull where you lay them, becasue they pick everything.

+1 for Chinchillas, I also have a very similar towel from another company that is also about 600 GSM.
 
I use the micros from Sam's, maybe not mosts best choice but I have produced happy clients with minimal to none swirl marks with these for the past 1.5 years...... maybe Im lucky though lol ;)
 
HRaha I bought my memberships there solely for those towels but the edges seem to scratch on some paint...but at 50 cents per towel I still but them for windiws and other stuff...also the absorbency goes away after about 2 washes.

Im shocked.... but then again I cycle through them regularly..... example, buy a few packs and use them on paint, then use them on trim, then use them on wheels and wheel wells, then use them to polish metal..... all while buying more through the process. That could very well be the difference lol. Only once have I had scratches on the paint and that was by an employee that was too aggressive. I very quickly corrected that with a 2 step polish! Scared the crap out of me though!
