Which towel do you like best for DS?

[CamaroSS]

Just curious....When I go to wipe off the DS with the double plush towel...it has a tendency to stick. It gives me that "its catching the paint and scratching" feeling...

 

Anyone else have this? Or Recommendations? I know some use the waffle weave instead...Thx

Theres no 'right' or 'wrong' in this... do what works best for your individual situation... I'm just putting the technical reasons why one might be a better option than another.

Like Adam has said in the past... You CAN use bleach. I've done it with NO side effects. I've done it ONCE and that's it so far. I ONLY use it for cross color contamination to see if it'd work. It did help. I don't care what color my towels are or turn. I have too much to do to worry about that.

Does the detail spray (if sprayed onto the white double plush towels) stain the towels? I am nervous about using these blazing white towels for anything but Americana.

 

Not that I've noticed.

I'm pretty fanatical about washing all my white MF with only white MF. I'm actually pretty crazy about washing MF in general.

 

My breakdown -

 

Whites - by themselves

Quality colored MF

MF Washmitts

Crappy MF

Foam applicators - yea I machine wash them. (Never machine wash polishing pads though)

 

Yea I know, I'm crazy like that - I grade my MF towels. As soon as a towel gets soiled it gets demoted to wheel / engine / door jamb duty.

And I thought this was a pop quiz for a $25. credit.

I use the WW towels. I did not like the way the blue plushes worked with DS. I have not tried the white Double plush ones though. Once I get more of them I will try it.

I've been doing it wrong then I guess. I have been using DS + WW Towel... Guess I have something to use all of my plush towels for other than full details.

Treat using DS with a plush as a 2 step... spread the DS with one side of the towel, then flip the towel and gently buff until the finish is even looking.

 

This right here. Great advice!

Spritzing the towel can help with the dreaded streak you can sometimes get with DS...

Thx for the quick reply... and that makes total sense. I love this place!

My personal opinion:

 

Plush is better for DS b/c its not absorbent. You have to remember that DS has a gloss enhancing agent in it, if you use an absorbent towel like the waterless towel less of that glossing agent is deposited on the surface as its sucked back into the towel.
