The gauntlet is a plush, soft towel designed for drying. If you are applying a spray wax or detail spray, I would suggest something with a shorter pile, such as The Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 350 or the Edgeless 300. You could order a couple of each and then see which one you like better.
I actually also like the yellow microfiber towels that Costco sells for removing wax. The have a shorter pile too. Some people think they are not as good and cause scratching, but so far I have been happy with them. And you are not going to find microfiber towels at a better price than the Costco ones.
