TOO MANY TOWELS | Adding To My Microfiber Towel Collection & Thinning Things Out At The Same Time

[@ChromaticGarage]

One car family and this guy has more towels than most professional companies! Rick is at the bottom of the rabbit hole. I also started buying some of these when carzilla started carrying them. Love a good Fold N Chat

[@RADGarage]

Haha. Fold 'n Chat. I like that.

[@Buckyvw]

Fold and chat should be a new series. Day 55 in quarantine, we watch Rick fold his new microfiber after a few uses ! I’d watch that!

[@RADGarage]

Bucky VW Anything is possible at this point.

[@LimitlessDetailing]

LOL

[@MTobin1000]

I love Rick's videos where he shows precisely where the rubber meets the road. Towels isn't something one would get too jazzed up about....but watching this video certainly provides inspiration. (Mike in Ohio)

[@RADGarage]

I got a request a while back from a viewer to share my collection of towels and then I got all self conscious "Are my towels good enough" and then one thing leads to another and BAM! I have 80 new towels. I don't know if I would call that inspiring! LOL

[@gregorypollet6106]

Hi Rick ! Nice "fold'n'chat" episode ha ha love that expression too ! I guess there will soon be a happy fellow receiving a big bunch of towels ! Sure he will enjoy it... Stay safe ! Cheers !

[@RADGarage]

Thanks my friend. I don't think his dad was too impressed when he left with a huge garbage bag full of MF.

[@herts30]

Wow man, 30 minutes on microfiber towels... I can't make a 30 seconds video with aaaalllll my 4 towels "collection"... I envy you in so many ways 😘😍

[@RADGarage]

Haha. I have way too many MF towels, but the more I have, the longer they last since I won't be using some of them to death. Does that make any sense?

Thats alot of towels for a 1 car family exactly my thoughts. But passion is passion and we do what we love to do. Keep it up Rick

It's better to have more than enough, then not enough. Right? LOL

[@ichabaga1]

Awesome collection of towels impressive

[@RADGarage]

[@naddy37]

Only people with an OCD interest in car detailing could watch a 30min video on organising microfibre towels. Brilliant stuff as always. Although now I need to sort my collection of towels out! 😊

[@RADGarage]

My wife thought no one would watch it. I sure showed her!! LOL

[@waynefromcanada]

Buying microfibre is like having a real bad addiction. I feel your obsession. I’m a Rag Company fan and have learned quite a bit about microfibre from their videos. Always fun to watch your videos and like you, I just delegate the heavily used and soiled towels to the down and dirt jobs. Engine detailing, wheels, along door edges and doing equipment cleanup. Till the next time.

[@RADGarage]

I could easily drop 5 grand on microfiber towels at any given moment. I'm weak when it comes to them.

[@jp2421]

Yay! It's Friday morning with RAD Garage!!

[@RADGarage]

I'm glad you are excited. Probably not the most exciting video I have ever uploaded.

[@jp2421]

RAD GARAGE when you’re going through products, you are saying out loud what I say when I do. I have a ton of products and microfibers but I always rethink when I’m trying to pare it down. I really need that Master Blaster though. Have to talk the wife into it though.

[@HitmanAtM16]

Awesome! So glad you scooped them up. Your collection looks outstanding!

[@RADGarage]

That Brown Detail Guy If I don’t love them, I’m sending them all your way. One. At. A. Time. 😆

[@joevanseeters2873]

You and I have the same vices Rick. My wife thinks I am absolutely NUTS due to the amount of microfibers I have! Literally HUNDREDS in clear storage bins and drawers. And brushes too, yep, I think I have at least 50 different kinds of brushes, one for everything imaginable. If I laid those things end to end, they'd probably stretch a 1/4 of a mile! LOL. I've become a huge fan of Autofiber towels lately. Just got their "DREADNOUGHT" and "AMPHIBIAN" , and they are both great towels. And they both come in different colors and sizes so I can separate out what I use them for based on size and color which is great. Once I went to using the "twist loop" designed microfiber towels, that's pretty much all i'm using now for most jobs. They seem to work great for scrubbing ability, soaking up liquids, drying, you name it. I even use the smaller ones for glass. (I am NOT a fan of those short nap glass towels, I don't think those things work very well). Those green Adams glass towels you showed looked great and would be more on par with what I would use for glass. I also use Autofiber "FLIP" towels for my rinseless washing and just got their flip "tire" towels in black although haven't tried those yet. You have a beautiful set up with those towel cabinets and I especially like how you have all your brushes across that bench on hooks. I aspire to have a similar set up at some point. You've inspired me my friend. I've got to try and set that into motion now. I'm always inspired by what you post Rick. My wallet keeps getting leaner though! LOL.

[@RADGarage]

It's music to my ears that my years of obsessing inspire others. Those green glass towels by Adam's are some of my favorites. Thanks for the conversation. It's always nice to hear what other guys have going on in their detailing spaces.

[@vgphilippe66]

always on top the videos 🇧🇪

[@RADGarage]

Thanks man!

[@TysonHugie]

The process of elimination here was a tough one and I followed your logic the whole way through! The end result is a magnificent work of art. I'm pretty sure that massive gray drying towel could clean up my friend's stretch limo and then some.

[@RADGarage]

It was like ripping off a band-aid. I din't know if I should drag it out or just go for it! In the end, I like the new look and feel of the collection. Definitely important to vet your collections time to time. You know this. You're like me.

[@LSD04]

I’m definitely a “towel guy “ love my Microfibre. What I have seems to wash really well but doesn’t seem to stop me buying more😂

[@RADGarage]

I'm hoping I won't need to buy any towels for a very long time.

[@Rich--J]

Can I have your "discards?" lol ... Just found your channel thanks to your SQ5 cleaning and need to do mine now. Great information, thank you!

[@cristhian61942]

I feel your pain on letting towells go, heck 90% of the towells I buy I never use. Im not sure what it is about buying and collecting microfibers that is so soothing and addicting.

[@RADGarage]

Cristhian Gabriel I wish I could put my finger on it as well. They are just so satisfying.

[@mokokoco4720]

I feel like the colors has to be a part of it. If I see a nice microfiber towel that’s in a cool color. I have to buy it because it looks cool lol

[@DeeDee_Says]

ok, that was some task, lol........Lucky young man(your neighbor) to not only have a quality detailer on the same block but to have one that's willing to share, that's real cool. I look forward to your videos. p.s. yes the Christmas towels are not the best color combo, lol.

[@RADGarage]

Those red and green towels make me laugh. So tacky. But, like I said, they get the job done! Thanks for viewing and commenting.

[@DeeDee_Says]

RAD GARAGE in the end that’s all that matter. I’m glad they are good for something. 😊

[@Buckyvw]

Great video as always Rick. I think quality microfiber is something that’s often overlooked. Function over form for sure. I’ve found labelling is huge for towels so you can keep a system. Keep it up buddy!

[@RADGarage]

Things got a little out of control and I didn't know what towel was for what or who made what. It would have been great if I had labeled things, but now I have learned my lesson. These videos will serve as my future reference!

[@ToastToGo]

The Marie Kondo-ing of microfiber towels! I have an odd satisfaction of folding and stowing away my microfiber towels when it's wash day. Those older yellow utility towels are great for around the house cleaning and whatnot since microfiber towels remove most bacteria and stuff. That's what I use mine for.

[@RADGarage]

I probably have a hundred older MF's under the sink waiting for use. It's madness I tell ya! Pure madness!

[@ToastToGo]

@@RADGarage Haha oh my! I didn't know!

[@nomad509]

Honestly you can never have too many towels in my opinion and I tend to have more than I may need. Although I welcome a variety of brands in your collection, I am surprised you don't have any quality towels from the Rag Company considering they are in our neck of the woods. Some replacement workhorse towels are in order considering most of the ones you removed were tired and the Edgless 245 towels from TRC are a great choice!

[@RADGarage]

Funny you should mention TRC. Since this video, I have been fortunate to get a lot of their towels. I am most partial to my Detail Popo's though. Did you see my TRC Grambassador video by chance?

[@nomad509]

@@RADGarage I just finished up watching the video that apparently I started previously. I owe you a belated congrats on being a Grambassador! The LAD's (Levi, Anthony and Dane) are a bunch of great guys and had the pleasure of meeting them in June and got a tour of their media facility. It was definitely an awesome weekend visiting Boise at the Hidden Springs car show as well!

[@RADGarage]

I hope to meet up with them all one day, too. They won't let anyone in Canada apart from a few retailers carry their products, so I am somewhat limited in my access to them. I need them to partner up with Carzilla.

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

At 18:46, are those the chinchilla towels? I love those towels!

[@RADGarage]

Perhaps. They may be from Swissvax.

[@Codriver72]

I'll make aconfession. I seem to have an urge to buy more micro fibre towels even though I have too many already. And this episode didn't make my obsession any good. I feel the need to check out my favourite website for car care products to see what I might need this time. Rick, you bring me down ;)

[@ShinyFenders]

Neat and organized ! How to do keep your towels so long? I have to replace mine every year due to heavy linting? I had to stop using detail sprays because the lint would drive me crazy.

[@RADGarage]

I think the fact I have so many helps. I rarely use up a towel because I'm always reaching to the bottom of the pile for one that has hardly been used. And, I use a quality detergent made specifically for microfiber (if you buy in to that) and always use cold water and tumble dry.

Awesome video! I’m loving the chat series. I know this isn’t related to this video but I was wondering where you got the brush you use on the wheel barrels. It seems to closely resemble the EZ Detail Go Brush which I have but yours seems to be a bit longer and slimmer. I’d love to get my hands on one if you know where you got it. Thanks

Everett Caudle It’s nowhere to be found. It’s the Daytona Speed Master Pro. I would buy another one if I could find one. I love it like a child.

[@dinofrommontrealquebec2278]

Love your show, keep up the awesome job. What towels would you recommend to remove compoud and polishes. And to apply sealents and waxes. I want to try the popo brand. Thank you....

[@RADGarage]

I recently used the white POPO's on this project to remove polish residue. The were great. To apply liquid coatings, I use generic MF towels because those go in the trash can when I'm done. To apply a spray sealant or spray wax, I love the blue POPO's. They do lint a bit but I'm hoping with a wash or two, that will not be an issue.

I have this weird thing I do, I buy my, variety of towels, in a bulk amount each time. And then before putting them into service, I always take one of them and bag it/tag it, so over time I refer back to them for their brand/name/durability. Strange I know! 😂

Hey Rick, my name's Alastair and I live just south of you in old Strathcona Park here in Calgary. Like you, I got my car cleaning bug from my father, and have been at it for decades. However, I must have been living under a rock, as it was only last fall that I discovered via KZbin through Pan, yourself and Obsessed Garage how many people have this passion for car detailing. Just love your channel and garage. I've been purchasing a number of items over the winter and now would like to pick up some MF towels. I've tossed the chamois(s) haha and am wondering, do you have any recommendations for me given I'm starting from scratch? I was thinking of ordering your exact Detailing PoPo order from Carzilla with perhaps 10 rather than 25 towels (We are a 3 car household and not doing others vehicles at this time) Would this cover most/all my needs? Thoughts? Thanks, and keep up the good work!
