To revive this thread, The Rag Company is awesome! I placed an order on the 14th and received my package on the 16th!

The Eagle Edgeless are crazy plush and soft, the Dry Me a River are soft with deep waffles, and the Chameleon Waterless Wash Towels are really plush also.

I got
20x40 Dry Me a River Jr. (Green, Blue, L Blue)
14x14 Eagle Edgeless Blue
16X16 Chameleon Waterless Wash (Green/Black, D Blue/L Blue)

They also threw in these for free (the three far left in the pic)
16x16 Creature Edgless Plush Dual Micro Towel (420gsm, 80/20)
16x16 Standard Green Micro Glass/Window Towel (350gsm, 80/20)
6x7 Grey Micro Knit Lense Cloth (100% Korean micro/silk)

I am interested in seing how the Chameleon towels do with ONR wash. They are 840gsm, but only 80/20 so they should be good for wash:tup:

I have only used muted and non colored micro and waffles, so not sure if these bright colors will bleed into each other the first wash. I would wash the blues and greens with each other using Tide Free on warm/hot, vinegar in rinse cycle, and tumble dry with no heat. Would you think it is safe to wash the micro rags with the micro waffles blue and green together?

I don't think my Rag Company towels bled much. All my previous cheap quality towels did. I even ran some on hot cycle three times before ever using them and they still bled when I washed them with other towels.

If you don't care about bleeding, you can wash them all together. If you do care, wash the dark blue ones and check the water color several times during the wash and rinse cycles. Or toss in a white microfiber if you have one that you don't care gets some color on it. That should give you an idea of how much they bleed and whether they need an extra wash or two.

I appreciate the info Jar! I am not too worried about bleeding since I only detail my car and as long as the bleeding is not on my light colored towels. So, the blue/green bleed should be ok for me. I guess I will find out!

Junkman2008 04-17-2015 07:26 PM

I haven't had any bleeding issues and I have a GANG load of towels from The Rag Company. However, I have so many that I wash like towels with the same.

ShutokuZ 04-17-2015 09:18 PM

Thank you Junkman! I don't think there will be a problem with these at all.

ShutokuZ 04-18-2015 11:56 AM

Well, it has been confirmed that there is zero bleeding from any of these towels. I mixed in an older yellow and white micro and nothing.

Junkman2008 04-18-2015 01:14 PM

Well, there's nothing like more confirmation. ;)

Im kind of getting in to detailing my car the right way finally. Im starting to care more in my older age (26 :rofl2: ) and want my car to look good. I havent kept good maintenance on any of my cars. Just the normal wash with Autozone supplies and a wax every now and then. Anyway, just found this thread and am looking forward to getting it done the right way!

Junkman2008 04-19-2015 10:57 PM

Keep in mind that using good quality towels is only part of the equation. There are other equally important steps that you need to incorporate into your cleaning regime that will ensure that you get the best possible look out of your paint. Have you seen my other threads on proper maintenance for your ride?

Yep. Im not trying to be Charles Barkley hahaha.

Thoughts on the Adams double soft vs a comparable towel?

I'm late to this thread and wondering if theres another towel from the rag company similar to Adams top mf right now

firulice 04-20-2015 06:53 PM

Ordered $100 in towels and got them today. Excited to try them out. Thanks junkman!
