4 waffleweave for drying; 2 large for glass and metal, 2 smaller for door jams, under the hood, and the trunk area (I keep them separate, they get very black, same 2 towels for door jams each time, always the smaller ones).

A handful (5-6) of yellow Costco MF towels - leather, glass, interior plastic, wood.

If you flood rinse your car, you would only need 1 maybe two waffleweave towels.

1 waffle weave (drying), 10+ applying + removal(exterior) , etc. Wheels call for another 3-4, Interior uses about 3-4, engine bay about 2.

Id say 20+ for a FULL detail. Interior and Exterior.
I have MFs ranging from detailedimage, detailers domain, chemical guys, autozone, target, etc.
I use the plush towels for the body, the thin cheap ones are for the rest of the car.
