i have both kenco spa towels as well as premium micro fibre towel and their premium buffing micro fibre as well,
heres what i would say about each one use
the spa towels are really plush and great for giving a final wipe say after freshly waxing or for dusting with a spray wax or something that doest streak, however they are not good with wet surfaces or detailing sprays that require slight buffing, these leave streaks, and are of no use to remove waxes, they however can be used to removed light synthetic wax if you first use another towel and use this as a finishing touch

the luxury micro fibre towel is great and has good static charge plus its size makes it easy to dry car remove wax etc, the grey side is supposedly for use in interiors and yellow for exterior according to instructions but i found that grey side works better to remove hazing from any wax or cleaner etc while yellow side is good for normal use,

and the buffing towel is really nice and i especially love the 4 tuck in corners provided so that you can remove wax from those tricky spaces and it really makes removing wax/sealant etc so simple,if you have real thin layers then its a matter of just one wipe and you are done, however if thick layers than i find regular micro fibre towels to be quicker at removing the wax/sealant etc than this

hope this helps any future prospective buyer of kenco products:)
oh and i fi compare them to my meg supreme shine towel, i find the meguirs one easier to work with, it covers a bigger surface areas and is especially good when dealing with liquid stuff or drying, just one wipe while claying and the detailing spray would be cleaned while it can take two wipes from the premium micro fibre towel which also gets wet rather quickly though i find the quality of micorfibre of kenco way better

can these spa towels be used to remove dust off the car every morning???

[omarabdullah022]

No dry dusting
Try getting California dusters which are coated with parrafin wax. These can remove light dirt without scratching. Otherwise a rinse free wash solution in a spray bottle. Spray on the surface generously and wipe with a mf towel.
Best to let the car stay dirty for 2-3 days and thwn wash properly.

yes they are soft and you will see visible difference in colour of MF form picking up dust, but don't do dry dusting, use a detailing spray or if you can't then use a rinse free wash or even a simple car shampoo in a sprayer bottle to lubricate surface, teach the driver to do the same, i gave my driver a spray bottle and MFs and its also economical the spray bottle lasts a month

[vickybhai]

I prefer keeping the car dirty then washing it by wrong method and I can keep and drive my car dirty as long as i want but my father wants his car dust free and he even scolds me for keeping the car dirty, so he tells driver to clean his car every morning...so thats why i need some method which my driver can use everyday to clean the car... i can't give him rinse free wash solution or quick detailer spray to use

P.S : I do wash every week

[arzaam.bhatti]

looking nice, though i don't know if its just the shade or lightning but the gloss seems to be decreasing since last posts noticed it in the second last post too, how long does opti coat last?

[vickybhai]

Can i use damp MF or these spa towels for the purpose???

you still run the risk of scratching, with the spa towels chance is less but it can still happen so i woundnt take the risk

at least give him plain water in a spray bottle i mean thats the least you can do, no risk of scratches with spa towels then, either teach your driver or explain to your father the damage the driver is causing or just let the swirls be and use good carnuba wax for depth, what colour is the car?

That sounds reasonable...I,ll give him the spray bottle and teach him how to use...
the car is metallic black and its seaside dirt AKA kaali mitti that sticks to the car

It is just the shade. It's shinny as glass..

@arzaam.bhatti

I didn't wash the car for almost 2 months now. Opticoat is working very well you just need a higher bandwidth here

This rust is the result of water trapped under these moldings. Usually cars have a path for draining the water, better to take out the moldings, use sandpaper to clean the path and paint Oil paint with a paint brush (The thinnest one , just like artists use for giving final touches to their portraits) and wash/clean the moldings from inside and then place them back.
In short, water is not drained and stays there, causing rust

I'm facing the same dilemma. Cant wash car before 10 days. Driver + local service walas end up using worn out clothes and wrong technique to clean exterior.

How to achieve balance here. Also considering our secondary office car park is in plot with a mud film at day end

completely dry you car!! If you know the weak spots of your vehicle where water doest drain, use air blower at those places first, then dry it with the dryig towel.

Someone said to me that do not wax your car every weekend because Meguiars wax acts like cutting polish and ultimately the paint will peel off.

Experts please shed some light on this.
