Swisswax Cotton Towel - high quality Swissvax Cleaner Towel is made from high thread-count100% pure cotton, with long fibres. These towels aren't sized nor are chemicals applied to make them ‘fluffy’, this naturally soft surface won't cause micro-abrasions or swirls Specially woven in Germany along with protected edges, for easy distinction, Swissvax has coloured the Cleaner Towel black and the Wax Towel red.

Zymöl Buffing Towels - made from high thread count 100% pure cotton, which is excellent for safely bringing out a deep shine from your latest waxing, woven from 100% terry cloth cotton, with no harmful silicone or other synthetic content. These towels feature a thick loft that naturally draws excess wax and particles up and into the cloth. Unlike all other cotton towels, Zymöl Buffing Towels aren't chemically fluffed (or "sized"), making a naturally softer surface that won't cause micro-abrasions or swirls

Victoria Wax -both the matting and loops are of 100% cotton, a combination that is hard to find now days. Dyed blue for colour coding and ease of keeping separate from other towelling; these towels get better every time it is laundered and it is just right in thickness and weight.

100% Cotton Terry Towel; this type of weave is also ideal for removing oxidation as it provides a gentle form of abrading action that will either be the sole means of abrasion or add to whatever the abrasive your using

Pak Shak is my preference. Ranney is a pleasure to do business with.

From one black vette owner to another, you DO need to get to know the guys at Autogeek well. Have purchased quite a few products from them that have my car looking awesome!

thanks to all for the kudos .... I often suggest using our Special Value and BOGO areas to build your collection. Often times we include the towels and applicators too.

(see purple Jr twins on BOGO now)

After waxing I use the Sams club thick green MF for the first buff, then finish with Meguiars supreme shine MF. Use the meguiars for detailing with surf city Hot rod spray detailer to keep up the shine between waxings. Torch red.

Sams club mft's are great (without spending a lot of cash). It's also good to have a couple of the expensive mft's just for buffing. don't get the yellow mf towels from Costco (although I love costco) because a while back the manufacturer started adding some sort of oily substance to the towels that is a nusance and make a mess. You won't notice it on the body but you will on the windows.

I've always washed those first before using them. Never had a problem with them and have a newer pack I bought about a month ago (36 pack for about $15). They work well. I did the scratch test with a new CD pressing hard and they didn't leave a single scratch.

I've bought some of the more expensive "name brand" microfibers in the past and honestly I cannot tell the difference. The yellow ones from Costco work just as well.

I use the yellow ones from Costco too and have not seen any noticable difference between them and the expensive brand ones.

The yellow towels sold at Costgo and other chains are often blemishes and seconds, those considered bulk. No issue with most of them, but tread carefully. If you are looking for a local source consider the Vroom brand from Target. They sell a striped towel, around 4 in a package.
