How much M/F towels do you need!?

Currently I have:

12x Good polish removal towels
14x Crappy interior towels
48x Woven towels (disposable, but work great for grunge work)
10x QD towels
6x Wax removal towels
2x polishing clothes (metal polishing)
6x Drying towels (3 20x40 WW, 3 Window towels)

I allocate really plush towels to QD, medium plush to wax, and low nap to polishing.

My question is: Do I need more? and how much towels do you use when detailing a car?

I'll post pictures when I get back from my trip to IL- im from Canada Looking to get some AG HD too

 

I think you need just enough to get you through a full detail. It would suck to run low during a detail and not have the right towel. Another way to go would be to have enough for two full details so you are not constantly doing laundry if you are a frequent detailer. It looks like you have a good assortment.

 

i ask myself that question on do i need more all the time . . . . . yet i have a stack of towels that haven't even seen the light of day yet LoL.

 

I always end up using the same batch. I have many different ones, but most sit unused in a plastic bin. I always reach for my CG Fluffers or the Ultra Premiums for my nice work. The rest of the towels are the orange ones from Target that I use for the dirty work.

For my waffle weaves, I'm hooked on the new Tropi-Care ones. Really top notch!

 

The Vroom towels are a really nice work towel imo.

 

just dont buy autogeek towels there good for like 2 times then they turn stiff...detailers domain towels . ive used many times washed them a ton and there just as soft as the day i bought them ...i have a ton of them . but i think i need more... :applause:

 

i find myself using the same batch as well while the rest sit. I run Pakshak towels. Top notch towels and have lasted me a very long time. I never dry my towels . . . . they get washed and every so often i use the microfiber detergent and they become super soft like they just rolled out of the factory LoL.

 

I have a couple hundred of assorted towels, that way when I'm done with a detail I don't have to wash everything right a way.
To me they are relativley cheap.

 

I'm in microfiber overload myself.

 

I will help ya out if you need to slim it down a bit!!

 

i have 3 large plastic tubs of microfiber towels. and only 1 truck to clean....but just in case theres a microfiber shortage in the future ill beok ....im allways thinking...

 

ha you guys make me feel normal

 

Detailing survivorlist !

 

I have probably 200-250. I plan on buying more.

 

haha, I am the same way. Have around 130+ MFs and of those almost 30ish are new and never used to act as replacements.

I have MFs for every task, such as:

QD: 6x
Nuba QD: 6x
ONR: 6x
Sealant: 4x
Nuba: 4x
Final Wipe (sealant or nuba): 2x
Polishing (all steps but finishing) 10x
Finish polishing: 6x
IPA Wipedown : 5x
Pre-Wax Cleaner: 4x
Glass: 10x
Trim: 15x
Wheels: 5x

Vinyl (interior): 10x
Rubber (interior):5x
Leather (cotton) 10x

So yeah I have a bit of a issue with only using certain MF for certain things but seems to help keep them in new condition longer and prevents cross contamination.

 

I need to start doing that, seems to be a good sound way of using your mf.

 

I don't keep mine that fine-tuned lol.

My categories are:

Polish/QD
Wax/Sealant
Glass
Drying
Interior
Interior workhorse
Exterior workhorse

I do have some super plush towels that are only for QD'ing/final buff.

 

i have the containers in my hallway so when i come homw there right there in front of me . and they put a smile on my face every day !!!

 

i do the same thing ...i take very good care of my towels . i always use micro restore. and i wash them right after use....

 

i have alot of towels too. too many but i always want more.
