What type of microfiber towels do you use?
 

I have seen a variety of microfiber prodcuts on the market. I wanted to see what everyone else uses. Personally, I have tried the towels from both Costco (Bright Yellow) and BJ's (Blue + White) and was not too impressed with them. Then again, you get what you pay for. They work OK for doing small jobs here and there on the interior, however I wouldn't use them on my paint. I recently came across some very good microfiber products that I've been trying out. They have been working great for all sorts of jobs including washing, waxing, etc. If you are interested, I put a link in my sig. for them.

Anyways, post what types of microfiber towels, mitts, etc you use and how they have been working for you. If you have pictures, feel free to post them :).

I use 100% cotton t-shirts. Not glamourous but those holely undershirts have an afterlife

I use Griots Garage products. Theyre great

Doesn't the great Zaino warn against using Microfiber

I think so, but IMO if you use microfiber that is 100% cotton you'll be ok. Just dont use the microfiber that is a poly blend.

The best microfibers happen to be the 70/30 split of polyster/polyamide made in Korea. If you try any of the well known companies on the net (including the ones I use now) they are all a poly split. If you really want to get technical, and make sure a towel wont scratch your paint, you can do the test I do. Simply take a little wax and put it on a blank cd (the writable side). Then use the microfiber to buff it out. If there are scratch marks, then don't use em on your car ;). I performed this test on the towels I now use from Fiber-Works and they passed. I'd be a little afraid to use a t-shirt on my paint.

PakShak Ultra-fine towels are about the best I've used. Extremely soft and plush. He has a lot of different kinds for different uses.

I use these. A bit pricey I guess, but really nice. And Zaino approved!

^Sh*t they are expensive!

loco4rx8: I too have used pakshak in the past. Funny thing is, the ones I just picked up look almost the same as the ones I have from pakshak. Quality wise, they're about the same -- but pricewise they are cheaper.

Interesting, Flawless. I guess I just don't trust the ones that come from stores. I've been told by so many that they aren't any good that I fear them. They're probably just fine. I use the ones at WalMart or whatever for interior cleaning. :)

Pakshak has a lot of different kind of towels, and they've all been very good about not scratching the paint, so I just stick with them.

I have also used DF Towels and they are very nice, but I do prefer the Pakshaks. Lots of people over at Autopia love the towels they've gotten from Excel Detail. I have not tried them yet, but plan to.

I just use ones from auto stores. Is that bad?

Depends on how anal you are on making sure your paint doesn't scratch...

I know some from the auto stores are ok, and some are horrible. I know most people pick up a couple high-quality towels for use on the paint (removing wax, polish, etc.) and use the standard microfibers from auto store or costco on the rest of the car. I figured, for a couple dollars, it was well worth it in the log run. I noticed Fiber-Works now has a couple starter kits. Might want to look in to one of those and you can save some $ on towels.

I use griots garage microfiber towels.
I use alot of their products and they work pretty good.

Griot's does have a good line of products, but I think their microfibers are just soso. I saw some that my friend had bought and was not all that impressed by them.

I use Viva.

I picked up fiber-works microfibers as recommended by flawless and they certainly do the trick:-) Reasonably priced and work great. Plus they have the rectangle shaped applicators which help with accuracy in applying wax. No scratches here

I just placed another order with fiber-works. Seems like they added a couple new products. I will start a product review thread of all of their products once I get them in the mail and put them to the test.
