Well since I rep his line...I recommend his waffle weave towels...they have the pickup that you are looking for and are big so that you can keep folding as you work around the car.

I know a lot of people use WW with waterless washes, rinseless washes and QDs. but.....
Just my opinion, but I don't think WW towels have enough nap for picking up the dirt and holding it away from the surface.
A plush terry weave MF works great for me.
Either the Mega Plush 16" x 16" or the Mega-Mega-Plush 16" x 27".
My preference is for the MMP 16" x 27", but the smaller towel also works good.
Hard to beat either one for the price.

I have never gave S&W much thought. I would thank that it would scratch the heck out of the paint.

Charles its what makes the world go round..Ones preference over anothers...I feel like the Waffle pickup the dirt better and embeds in better in the nap...again personal preference

You not alone in this..but I've been using it for years and do not notice any more marring than with a regular bucket wash...I would invite someone like Charles for his input as he lives in an area that as server weather and the cars are much dirtier than here in CA for me...the technique is going to be different.

Its saved me tons of hours of bucket washing..allowed me to have a real clean car without all the hassles of buckets, hoses, etc.

FYI I've been buying it in the 5 gallon buckets for 4 years bow...its just that good!

Take a look at this thread and check out the link in post #9.
How dirty is too dirty for S&W
Blkyukon has some before and after pictures you might find interesting.

Just remember, it's Spray & Wipe, not Spray & Rub.

couldn't agree more

wipe don't rub.. the S&W will lubricate, lift and encapsulate the dirt after a few seconds and then you gently wipe... remember also what it says on the back of the label ...the less you use the easier and the better results you will get ...

I also agree with Charles ..the Mega Plush or Deluxe Mega PLush do the best job, but many have told me they use Waffle Weaves... what ever you feel more comfortable with


life is short ..do it while you can

What's your agenda?

Seems to me that you take some issue with anyone promo-ing Steve's line...at least I seem to be feeling that way based on your answers so far

I'm with Charles and Steve on this. I prefer a plush MF when I use S&W. Ultimately, whatever works best for "you", use it.
