Whats the best applicator's, wash mitt & polishing & drying towels? I am a little confused by the plethora of offerings! the one thing I do know is that I am ready to make the switch over to MF. I'd like to know which is the BEST:
-Wash Mitt: Eurow Sheepskin wash mitt or MF wash mitt?
-Drying towels: I have a synthetic Chamois that I have always used with good luck. Is it better to use MF towels to dry? Which ones specifically?
-Applicator's: Should I use basic bare foam ones, or MF covered foam applicator's?
-Removal of polish: DF Concours MF towels or Pakshak MF ultra towels? The pakshak towels are a lot more reasonably priced, so I'm hoping they are just as good as the DF ones.
On a side note, I am currently a Pumina cotton user and I notice many MF towels are colored. this was a no-no in the cotton world...why would it be any different with MF?? Can't the dyes leak from the MF the same they would with cotton?
And finally, How to wash all these. Can I just throw them all in the washer using Tide? Which tide? (Tide "free" or something like that?)

Well, I got impatient and I went to the DF Concours site since it was endorsed by Zaino and I ordered the following to start:
2 10201 MS DF towel 19.5X19.5 $9.75 $19.50
2 11301 Wash Mitt $6.00 $12.00
2 10901 Applicator $4.25 $8.50
1 10301 M DF towel 29.5X16 $11.05 $11.05
Subtotal: USD $ 51.05
USPS Priority Shipping: USD $ 6.70
Total Amount: USD $ 57.75
Just want to confirm, these are all MF, right?
PS-I'd still like to hear opinions on my original question. In particular i wonder if that big sheepskin mitt wouldn't have been a better choice. It certainly looks better, but I figured I wanted to stay 100% MF...

You'll be good with the DF stuff. Leo makes extremely good products.
I use Eurow mitts, Pak Shak drying and buffing towels, and DF towels for final wipedown and QD.

Also, do you feel the Pak Shak ultra's are better for buffing/polish removal??
just curious why you only use the DF towels for final wipedown. Is it just b/c of their cost??

I haven't used the DF mitts, but I haven't had any problems with my Eurows.
I prefer to use the Pak Shak towels for buffing/polish removal because they've proven very effective, and I feel the DFs are slightly too delicate (too nice
). The cost is part of the factor too.
