For a full detail I would say
10-15 530xl
5-10 all purpose towels
2-3 glass towels
2-3 drying towels
This is for a complete detail 2-3 step polish 1 coat of js109 and 1 coat of one of my nubas(depends on which smell I prefer that day)
530xls are my polish removal/ wax removal/ final wipe down towels
all purpose are my interior metal polish wheel/ tire towels
glass are well for glass
2 drying towels are used on paint/ glass and 1 is used exclusively for wheels
My towels are washed separately depending on type and how they where used.
About 19 minimum and 31 max

Thanks guys! I'm surprised that some use MF on exhausts? Or is that just for metal trim?

I am in the same realm, especially for full details, I will be trying out the interior scmitt to see how its works. This might knock a few off the total.

I'd say I use about 10-15 towels per car, but it could be more.
