How many micro fibers towels do you guys go through in one wax? I bought the premium chemical brothers.

I have mine in a sealed container and use one or two PER PANEL. If I drop it, I drop it into another container and start fresh. On my Camaro, I used probably 7-10 each time I waxed it.

A good tip on microfiber towels. When washing them do NOT use any fabric softner as this can lead to transfer of the softner to the paint. and use fluff air to dry, NO HEAT, because it will help them last longer. When they start to leave small fibers, it's time to put them in another container for general cleaning.

watch junkman on youtube. Learned a few things that are helping with washing/drying. He uses an electric leaf blower to get excess water off.

Great idea! I'm gonna try that for sure!

This car is even harder to buff. Got mine in a nicely heated bay today since its 47deg outside. Got my Blackfire system with Montan wax out and went to work. Clayed, then polished with Gloss Enhancing Polish and what a PITA to run a buffer on. There are no flat surfaces on this car. Finished it off with the new hybrind Montan wax and sweet jesus its easy on and off and makes the car very slick.

He has a series of videos. A little long winded but there is some good info. Made me feel like I have never properly cleaned a car. My foam gun is coming tomorrow!

In one of his videos he uses a hose without a sprayer (solid stream of water) to wash away all of the standing water on his car. I would have never thought of that.

Place that stream directly on the flat surfaces and let the water run off the sides. It makes it extremely easy to dry after that.
