Just wondering 2 things.

1. What and where do you get microfiber towels that don't have any lint that comes off.

2. What type of quick detailer spray do you use for the best shine ?

I've ordered microfiber from both Autogeek and Pakshak. Kind of like the ones from Pakshak a little better.

I'm a zaino guy so I use their Z6 or Z8 products for spray detailing

Meguiars Ultimate Detail Spray works well for me.

Also I have been topping it off with the Ice spray Wax, which is very user friendly. Goes on anything with no residue.

My initial sealant is done with the Klasse system.

Concerning the towels I have never had any lint and I buy whatever is handy when I shop.

Target has some really nice orange towels that have worked good for me. About $1 a piece.

Autogeek or Showroom FX for towels. pakshak is also good.

Meguiar's Ultimate Detail spray is as good or better than any boutique detail spray. It's simply amazing.

Arguably the best detail spray though if you are on major detailing forums is FK425 (Finish Kare). It's VERY good.

My personal favorites are FK425, Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer, Showroom FX Detail Mist and Chemical Guys Detail Spray

Can't go wrong with AutoGeek or Pakshak. Z6 is a great every day spray detailer. Z8 is excellent after a full detail for a little more shine and a slippery feel.

I know that there are many good products out there, but I love Speed Shine from Griots Garage. IMO some may be as good but I have yet to see anything better. I love that stuff and use it a lot and get a lot of compliments.

For the towels I have got some from Griots and also Adams. I know a little pricey but I want the best.

Default Try Finish Kare 425

You need to give Finish Kare 425 Extra Slick Final Body Shine from Autogeek a try. It is a quick detailer that is anti-static and produces an instant glossy "slick" finish that stays cleaner longer. I like it becasue it is a light detailer that is easy to wipe off still producing a geat shine!! It is great for glass leaving no streaks!!

Get my Microfiber towels through Auto geek unless I need a new one like right now then I go to the local auto store and buy the most expensive softest one they have.

I love the Zaino Z6 for a quick detail (every Saturday morning I use it) and Z8 the first Sat of every month.

This stuff is great. Easy on and off, big time shine and cuts down on dust. It even lasts a while. I usally re-apply every 3rd wash. After a wash and dry, run a clean towel over it and it will tell you if you need to re-apply.
