If you spend a lot of time attending to the very finest details of your car, it's definitely worth investing in the very latest auto detailing towels. These new towels have unprecedented absorbency, unprecedented longevity, and are made for increasingly more specific tasks. You should be using a unique towel for all of your auto detailing needs. These include shampooing, waxing and polishing, and glass cleaning.
One advantage of microfiber towels is the ability to order in different colors. This allows you to organize your shop and specify a color of towel to a specific task. Don't forget to organize your shop logically with containers that are well labeled for every type of towel. You don't want to mix dirty towels that she used for carbon shampooing together with glass tiles. We certainly don't want to do that sort of mixing when it's time to wash the towels.
You may have to spend a little after money to get top-quality towels. But when you do invest in the best towels you tend to get a towel comes with no tag label, and it often has sewn-over edges. This is important because when you put too much pressure on the edges while waxing and polishing a car it's definitely possible to scratch some delicate paint surfaces. And the more expensive towels tend to have a longer life as you wash and dry them repeatedly.
Regarding towel washing, be certain to follow the directions that come with the towel when you buy them. This doesn't necessarily matter what your personal clothes, but these towels need to be a certain thickness to perform the way that they were intended to. And when you overwash and dry the towels, especially making mistakes about heat settings, the towels tend to thin out and break down.
