I need some cleaning towels… I just got a new 05 2500HD that is black and has only been washed once by the dealer.
I just ordered the ultimate car care kit from Zaino and now I need some towels for cleaning. I’ve always used the absorber to dry my black 02 SS and it’s worked pretty well, so I just need to know what towels to use for washing and where I should get them.
Thanks!

umm watch out dont use the towels that you use to dry your self, that can seriously hurt the paint. It does a good job of drying but scratches the hell out of the car. Go to Wal-mart and go to there auto area they sell towels that work good. Or even a shammy works good also. I usally use cotton rags to do my cleaning but its hard and you need to have patients. I had the ultimate cleaning kit from Zaino and its worth every penny you paid.

I always use a California water blade to dry my car, and use only microfiber towels to apply wax or polish, both can be purchased at an autozone type place.

Waffle weaves are for drying.
Ultra terry towels are for polish removal and general uses.
Plush towels are for final buffing and quick detailing.
A leaf blower is also a very helpful tool for drying.

And this MF towl for buffing the Zaino off?

I just want to make sure and get the right stuff. I've always used MF towels from Corvettes Of Houston but they changed who they buy from and they arent very good anymore.
thanks again!

Personally, I don't like using microfiber wash mitts. By nature, microfiber grabs onto dirt and such, but it doesn't turn loose very easily. This increases your chances of dragging a piece of dirt all over your finish and causing more scratches. A decent lamb's wool mitt works very well, since it has enough nap (depth of the "fingers" of the fabric) to pull the dirt away from the surface, and the fingers are far enough apart that a quick dunk in the soap bucket usually breaks all that trapped dirt loose.
Other than that, the other products you listed should work very nicely.
