Definitely! Just tried the White waffle weaves on windows. I've never used WWs before but i'm a believer now, at least on windows. Cleaned 2 cars using glass cleaner and just 1 towel, no streaks! But couldn't rinse off dirt with just water which i was silly to hope for, so had to use detergent. Here's a shot after 2 cars worth of windows :

I think the blue edgeless looks like better suited for rinseless wash...due to the longer and open naps - easier to pick up and release dirt. And the white plush for wiping and drying afterwards. Just my thoughts.

Great advice, that makes more sense. I knew i was missing something. Thx man.

I hope i don't get it wrong that degreaser & APC is similar just that degreaser is stronger??

Degreaser is better at cleaning tires, wheel wells, and engine, vs APC. Some suggest weekly tire and wheel maintenance with APC. Whip out the degreaser / wheel brightener / Tar X / Iron X for tougher jobs?
Edit : Replace Tar X with any tar remover, replace Iron X with a decontamination cleaner like Sonax Full Effects Wheel Cleaner.

Looks like you stained your MF badly.. Can it be rinsed off easily?

Is that before or after you wash the cloth?

No worries, it was before washing the towel with detergent. All is well after some Dynamo and a thorough rinse.

You can prioritise and shop around for deals / garage sales / cheaper brands.
