I find using mechancis towels, (the blue ones) have more durability and don’t leave behind the little bits from standard paper towels. And they absorm way more paint before you have to throw them away.
I completely agree. There are also white durable towels called Intex Cloth-Like Rags that work fantastic as well. No shredding, no tearing unless you want a work out.
