These are the towels I generally use in a full detail. I accumulated them over time, and I keep the nicer towels in excellent condition by washing them immediately after use (hot water, delicate cycle, line dry) with Griot's microfiber cleaning solution and regular Tide laundry detergent (NO fabric softener). Any towels that get excessively dirty, I wash separately or along with the cheap, generic towels that tend to get the dirtiest.

1 Adam's Great White waffle weave drying towel for paint (huge and awesome but pricey at $25 for one).

2 No-name, ok-quality waffle weave drying towels for wheels

5+ small throw-away towels for wiping up the excess water in the door and hatch openings (these are the small, generic microfibers you can find at any auto parts store for dirt cheap - I typically wash them 2-3 times before they go in the trash).

2 Meguiar's Supreme Shine towels for wiping up excess detail spray during clay (thin, but acceptable quality and fairly inexpensive at 3 for $8)

2 Ultra Plush large towels for wiping up excess glaze (from stocktowelsnow.com)

2 MSS towels for wiping up excess wax
2 Ultra Plush large towels for buffing wax

2 MSS towels for interior dash and interior plastics
