The microfiber thread...

merlin3008 · 09-09-2021, 11:53 AM

Hey all...In anticipation of my G80, I'm going to take the opportunity to overhaul my detailing arsenal. I have a new polisher, pads, polishes, ceramic, etc. But now it's on the towels. I'm going to turn my current collection in "utility" rags for the dirty jobs. But I need advice an what you guys use for the following:

Polish removal
IPA wipedown
Wax/sealant/ceramic removal
Quick detailer

Thanks!

+1, pretty much everything from the rag company is great, and you can get specific types for all your needs. Let the madness begin

Adams grey towels are the best on lint. I bought the rag company lint all over my car

The Rag Co eagle edgeless 500 for detailing (6+)

The Rag Co premium FTW for the windows (3+)

The Rag Co Ultra wash pad (top of car)

The Rag Co Ultra wash mitt (for bottom of car)

The Rag Co Gauntlet drying towel (2)

The amount of people mentioning The Rag Company around here on the forums has lead me to place an order for a bunch of stuff this morning.

Probably time I updated my set of microfiber towels for the incoming G80 anyways.

Over last 2 years I have become a detailing nut. You can get lost in all the videos on YouTube and they are quite informative. There are tons of products out there for all skill levels. In opinion use what you are comfortable using. Some products are made for professional detailers. Best of luck, nothing like a clean shiny car 😎

I'm also a fan of The Rag Company.

Adam's great white drying towel is really good as are their other waffle towels.

Cleaning procedure: All Free & Clear detergent on cold along with air dry cycle or hang dry (heat isn't your friend). Only wash microfiber with other microfiber.

Shine on!

I'm also a fan of the Large CarPro drying towels! Very absorbent and work well in conjunction with your drying process…if you aren't using some form of blower to dry your car!
