Microfiber Questions for good detailers--

[david]

What type of applicators/towels would you recommend for applying/removing different polishes, waxes, sealants, etc

There are so many to choose from at autogeek:

Klasse AIO


Wax removal


Drying


Any other tips related to applicators and towels are encouraged!

For drying, i use a touchless approach...

This removes all of the drips and gets into the crevises a cloth can not. For wax, I use the microfiber that comes with a container of ICE wax. It's nice and soft...

Nothing but microfiber touches my paint. I usually buy a bulk pack of microfiber towels and I use them only after the car has been washed, so they stay relatively clean. After a few washes in the washing machine, they get downgraded to window/lens duty and then finally to trim before they have outlived their useful life.

There are microfiber applicators as well but I use a machine polisher so the foam applicator pads work with the system. I also get all my stuff from autogeek and I find their recommendations to be pretty good most of the time.

I have a rotary polisher and pads-only used it 1x. Dont think my fx needs it.
Autogeek recommends a lot of different ones for the same things though. Some are pretty expensive for towels.
