Default Buying MF products from Pakshak - r these quantities sound for at least 1 detail job?

I've been using cotton products to wash the car with and take out wax with but it seems that MF is superior in many ways. MF seems a bit pricey but I guess if I want to do it right, it would cost some money. I'm ready to order from Pakshak and kinda decided on the quantities of products (I would think) I need, please tell me if the quantities are adequate (or over-adequate) for one detail job.

- 2 waffle weave MF towels for drying off the car (I know one would do the job but you never know what can happen - I could lose one or drop one on the floor)

- 2 MF mitts for washing the car with (like above, I could probably do a job with one but nice to have one extra)

- 10 16"x16" MF towels for taking wax off

It seems Pakshak has a combo that fits that need (although I would need to get 2 of those combos).

2 combo value packages that contain 1 waffle weave, 1 MF mitt, and 5 16"x16" each @ $45.55 each


So, the question is, are 2 waffle weaves, 2 mitts, and 10 16"x16" MF towels adequate for one detail job. I'm saying one since I could always wash the ones I use and I do only one car at a time. Are 10 16"x16" towels enough for one Zaino job? Or does a Zaino job require more than 10? Are the 24"x24" towels worth the near double price? Thanks alot.

I think that would be more than adequate.

I use Zaino also and just used a 16x16" to dry my car off this weekend. Sheet the water off first with the hose and you'll have very little water to wipe up. The MF towel mostly gets wet from the door jambs, trunk and hood recesses. Your two waffle weaves are more than adequate for drying.


For polish removal I end up using about 4 Pakshak 16x16"

They can be used for other things too! Like cleaning glass windows, removing detailing spray, cleaning the viynl rear window on 00s & 01s, and dusting. Many people have a large number because they are easier to wash and dry.


I have just a little over 3 dozen Pakshak towels, I gave away most of my other towels.

I have so many MF towels that I use more than I need to.
