Like I said, good luck to you.

In my opinion, waterless wash should only be used in an emergency or when you don't have access to the tools to properly wash your car. I would hate to further derail your topic though since you are rather specific in your demands.

Dropping the attitude would go a LONG way towards receiving proper help. If everyone who posts is told "you should have never posted anything" then what's the point of trying to help an individual like yourself?

To answer your original question, I would go for the most plush version of (YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE OF MICROFIBER CLOTH INSERTED HERE) available, to avoid rubbing the contaiminates into your paint and creating swirls and/or scratches.

Waterless Wash works best with a waffle weave towel since they are designed to be absorbent. If you use a plush towel with a Waterless product, you'll just "push" the solution around on the surface since you are using a lot of liquid, not absorb it and draw it off the surface.

Our Waterless Wash waffle weave towels are here, and are also blue to match our Waterless Wash:

Thank you Nick. That's the kind of input I'm looking for. Is there actually a difference between a waffle weave for waterless wash and one for drying? I've been using a shorter nap because of the exact reason you mentioned about the plush cloths just pushing the solution around. It seems a lot of people recommend those plush cloths for some reason but they didn't seem to work well for me.

Everyone wasn't told "you should have never posted anything." Only you who thought it was necessary to throw out the smart *** remark about being spoon fed even though you admitted you don't use the waterless method. Asking for an answer to a specific question is hardly being spoon fed. If that were the case the forum wouldn't be here. But hey, at least you had another opportunity to derail the thread with your opinion on waterless wash. Funny how you accuse me of having an attitude but come here to post off topic and condescending remarks because I was looking for an answer to a specific question and tried to clarify. I will admit that last paragraph was almost exactly what I was looking for, had it come from someone with actual experience instead of just an opinion on what you "would" do since you actually don't. I did say I was curious as to what others "experience" has been. All that said, and to be polite as possible, please excuse yourself from my thread so I can actually benefit from the experience others may share. Thank you.

You can't be serious.

Life's too short man. You'll never get out alive so no need to be so serious. I actually have a brand new container of Adam's Waterless Wash sitting at home that came in my "Mystery Box". If I decide to try it, it's too bad I can't help you out in your precious thread since I'm not longer allowed to post in it.

Big loss there. You're obviously posting just to aggravate me. That's cool. Post on. I will have no more comments for you. Life IS too short.

Nah, actually came into the thread trying to help. Perhaps I misread your specific question or it wasn't worded clearly enough. Either way, too late now and the way you chose to respond and try to belittle me doesn't exactly make me want to take you, or this thread, seriously any longer. With that said, it appears I was incorrect in my assumption that you'd want the most plush towel available to minimize damage to the clear. Thanks to Nick for clarifying that and good luck with your car.

With a waterless wash, you want a soft towel with a thick nap to help pull any dirt away from the finish. The softness avoids marring. I like to use the Purple Jrs and the bright green edgeless towels specifically. Remember to use several and consider a rinse bucket when using the same towel on more than a few panels.

You can check out Adam's they recommend waffle weaves with thier waterless wash.

How I personally use waterless wash is with waffle weaves as said before. But they I use a regular MF with a QD spray after. So if there is any small streaks left they are cleaned up.

This thread is getting better by the minute!

"Remember to use several and consider a rinse bucket when using the same towel on more than a few panels".

So, if this is a "waterless wash", WTF are you putting in the rinse bucket?

Xtremespeed

Do you not find that the soft towel tends to just push the solution around? I've had that experience but honestly my towels were not the
quality of the ones you recommended.

Edit: After looking more at the purple jr's, I think maybe I'm confusing soft thick nap with plush. The up close pics of the jr's look more like the type cloth I have been using. The ones I tried that didn't work as well were a longer nap I think.

Our Great White Drying Towels are the same fiber/weave as the Waterless Towels, just different sized towels.

Plush towels are perfect for removing residue from things like polish, sealants, glazes, and waxes, but often aren't ideal for things where you need to remove a lot of liquid from the surface.

They key is to use what works for you though!

Thanks again for the input. I'm going to try some waffle weave towels and see how they do.

If the towel absorbs properly, you should not be pushing water around. The towel should absorb the excess. Most plush towels have two sides, one is thicker than the other. I like the thick nap when washing and the thinner nap for a final wipe or light detail spray.
