Best towel for Detail sprays.

What are the best Microfiber towels for using detail sprays? I have some Adam's blue towels, but they smear the sprays. I was thinking about Zaino Border-Free towels? Anyone have any experience with these towels or any recommendations?

I have and use the WHITE Adams MF Towels and they work like a CHAMP! NO smearing at all.

I prefer the purple waterless wash towels. Waterless wash is essentially detail spray with slight differences, so it seems natural to use that towel. It does a great job.

Have you look at our Mult-task Microfiber Towels lately? The super-plush side of the towel has long, feathery loops. We use this side for dusting, drying, buffing wax to a brilliant shine and wiping off quick detail sprays. The reverse side is a more compact nap better for cleaning, metal polishing and removing polish and compound residues.

For interior cleaning of the dash, console and doors, we use the compact nap side to wipe the surface with an interior cleaner and then flip the towel and use the plush side to buff interior surfaces with an interior protectant. This isn't cast in stone. Try both sides and use the side that works best for you.

I have and love the Zaino blonde towels. They're simply amazing. No smears, no streaks, no scratches. Nothing but a beautiful finish. They work great. Go get some before they go on back order.

I prefer our white double plush for detail spray and our waffle weave waterless towels for the waterless wash, but I know some people prefer the waffle for both... just a matter of preference.

To the touch, the blonde towels feel much rougher than the adams towels. They don't seem to leave scratches but my hands tell me the white adams ones are better . Just my .02

The double-soft is by far the softest microfiber i've ever used. I really like using it when i'm waxing or polishing. It also works really well with the detail spray. The waffle towel also works great for not only the waterless wash, but the detail spray too!

Never used the Adams towels, (although I just ordered their great white drying towel), but calling the Zaino blonde towels rough is just crazy. Those things are the softest thing I've ever touched. I've been considering ordering 50 of them and sewing them into a blanket for my bed. Lol.

I'm just saying, holding one in one hand and the other in the other hand, the blonde towel is rough. I have one of each sitting right next to me. You'll see when your order comes in.

Not that the blonde is ROUGH by any means, just comparatively, it is.

Edit: Nevermind, read your post too quickly, you're getting the drying towel, not the white double-soft polishing towel. Do yourself a favor and order one.

Interesting. I'll get around to trying both. You can never have too many towels! And variety is good.

And which Adams towel are you referring to?

That would be this one.

And I totally agree. I've always been an Adam's man, but I ordered a set of blonde towels as soon as they came back in stock. Very high quality as well. Really can't go wrong with either of these companies.

Oh and if I may make a suggestion for drying towels, these are the same thing as the Adams, but without the black stitched border (which I consider a benefit) . Junkman turned me on to these. As much as I love Adam's they charge out the a$$ for their towels, and these are half the price and as good, if not better.
