More specifically, how many MF towels do you use when you:



DRY (after washing)

CLAY

POLISH

WAX

QD



Feel free to add!
 
For drying i use 3 WW MF's

For claying i don't use towels, since i clay while i'm washing

For polishing i usually use 5-10 MF towels

For waxing i use 2-3 MF towels

For QDing i usually use 2 towels



Hope this help :xyxthumbs
 
For drying I use the Metro Master Blaster

Claying is same as Lochi

Polishing I use 2 MF's

Waxing or Sealing I use 1 MF

QDing I use 2 MF's
 
DRY : 1 24x30 WW, and 1 16x16 MF

CLAY: none

POLISH: Usually 2-3 Mf's

Sealant Removal: 2

QD: 2



Grunge work, wheels, windows, jambs, interior...I usually go thru about 12-15 for a job total.......
 
I only use 1 ww to dry cars, just keep wringing them out but I go through quite a few regular detailing towels (wheels, doorjams, etc.) and plush mf towels.
 
DRY (after washing): none, im still with the Absorber

WASH (with S&W): 2-3

CLAY: 1-2

POLISH: 2-3

WAX: 2-3

QD: 1-2

INTERIOR: 4-6
 
2 WWs for drying

none whilst claying (clay as I wash)

1 per panel for polish removal

1 per panel for wax/sealant removal

1 per two panels for qd'ing.



I have loads of mf cloths, so I make use of them! ;)
 
Thank you all for your responses. I can now sleep well because the dozen 16" x 16" MFs I ordered is just about right. :bounce



Claying while washing is a new concept for me. I guess I could get away with just Mother's Car Wash (mixed with water, of course) instead of Meg's Final Inspection as lube for the clay bar. I still won't clay while washing for fear of water spots forming while I'm busy claying but thanks anyway for the money-saving tip! :xyxthumbs



1SLOW50, I manage to dry my car with just 1 waffle-weave towel when drying - no wringing too! I use the Big Blue II drying towel (26" x 36") from CMA.



pugoman, you really are a Very Obsessed Detailer! 1 per panel? And that's per polish too, right? So about a dozen per polish? Whoa! :scared What kind of MFs do you use per task?



I'll probably use about 3 MFs per polish for the whole car: 1 for the hood, 1 for the roof and trunk and 1 for the sides. So if I have



Menzerna IP -> Menzerna FP -> Klasse AIO -> Klasse SG



I will need 9 MFs in all! Good thing I'll buff off Klasse SG 24 hours later so I can use the same MFs I used for Klasse AIO.



The other 3 can go to wax removal (which isn't often) and QD with Mother's Showtime Instant Detailer after every wash (about 2-3 times a week).

Like I said before, I have alot of mf cloths - around 40 different PakShak cloths. I've got 'em, so I use 'em! :D
