What's the best car wash towel you've experienced. I have a black Camaro and don't want to leave small scratches. Opinions?

Any good quality wash mitt I use the turtle wax ice wash mitt did the cd test and no scratches so use it on my Camaro also use the AutoZone waffle drying towels just do a blank. Cd test on all the ones you want if the mocrofiber scratches a cd it will scratch your paint

I use Adams wash mits, towels (great white) etc and a two bucket wash method....Watch Junkman and Adams vids if you have not yet done so......

I have a black Camaro. I use MicroFiber Mitt, Armor All carwash, 1 bucket of soap water 1 bucket of reg water and most importantly dry off with "The Absorber" Chamois. You cant go wrong.

This has been an issue since the first black model "T". The last words are always..."YOU BOUGHT A BLACK CAR"

I use natural sea sponges to wash my car

What you use to wash your car is only half the solution. HOW you wash the car is equally important. That's why I created a video series that explains the wash process in detail. There's a lot of garbage out there on the market, especially some of the over the counter stuff. I've seen everything from brushes to very low quality chamois being offered as a option. Some folks have such a jacked up paint job that they can't see the damage that they are doing from the damage that they already have.

I just did the first wash job on my camaro this weekend using the two bucket wash. I used 1 Cobra 16 x 18 waffel weave towel for the whole thing since I was able to get most of the water off with the pooling method. Junkman do you have any videos that explain how to do the pooling method in more detail, it was a real pain trying to dry the car like that.

RanDMC · 05-23-2011, 01:07 PM

I had not heard of the CD test before I'll have to try that.

I missed a spot when washing and got my towel dirty. What is the proper way to clean a MF towel?

Have you watched this video? There's not much more to explain than what I explain in it.
