MF Towells (revisited)
I am confused (not unusual) about the microfiber towells to use with Zaino.
Sal Zaino says to use only 100% US Made Cotton Towells. After you take off the sewn edge, they fray and leave lint every where.
If you do use microfiber...what product name? They all seem to be made in asia and I am sure that some of them will have scratch procucing fibers regardless of what they say.
What size do you use for buffing off Zaino...how many do you need?
Do you need different ones for different things?
What "waffle weave towell" is the right one?
If you go to the sites selling these products you get a huge range of products at a huge range of prices. They all seem to have the same claim...but can't all be the same at different prices.
I just don't want to use the wrong towell and scratch my car.
Alboston....can you give it to me simple?

NO DONT GET TOWELS THERE.
Get towels at www.microfibertech.com purchase the elite towels. These are some of the best towels i have used, very plush and soft. The best part is they dont scratch. If not, get neatitems towels.

Sal Zaino is actually researching MF towels, because he knows that the good ones work much better. However, he is not ready to recommend them because of inconsistency, so he continues to test.

I just used a huge microfiber towel to dry my car yesterday after washing it. However it seems like a regular piece of cloth and it was hard to wring out the water. So after a while the cloth wasn't drying the car completely anymore. Do I need more towels or am I missing something?

I use two waffle weave MF towels, but I don't try to get every last drop, because I QD after washing anyway. However, the amount of water you need to dry up with dramatically be reduced if you sheet the water off the car using the method described in the washing sticky.

Which is proper way to use the waffle weave? I have seen on this forum to fold and blot and also to flop it out on the surface and drag it off. Which is the current favorite or is there yet a better way.
I do sheet the water off and it is a great method but you still have a lot of water in some areas.
Justin: What do you mean by "QD" and why doesn't the car have to be completely dry to do whatever it is?

no clue, but a good technique is to take off the nozle off the hose, so, the water doesnt spray out, it is more like a faucet, so, wet your car like that, and that will get rid of most water, so using a waffle weave is much easier, its the best technique i knoe of overall, it saves so much time, especially with protection already on the car
