Micro fiber towels

[Zstang77]

Does anyone use these and for what? Drying, polishing, or waxing.

Most products tell you to use 100% cotton cloths. The Micro fiber towels have mostly polyester.

Thanks

Micro fiber is less abrasive than cotton, most people use them for drying the car.

I use micro fiber towels.
They're great; better than any cotton towel i've seen.

I used it with Zaino, and it was perfect.
Zaino says to only use cotton towels made in the USA, but I think the microfiber towels are much softer/better.

Only problem I have is when they are brand new, I have to wash them before I use them due to the lint they leave behind.
Other than that....

Here's a great article on Microfiber towels. I use the Sonus Der Wunder Detailing, SOnus Der Wunder buffing and Sonus Der Wunder Ultimate drying towels. They are FANTASTIC!!

You should use them for all aspects of detailing: polishing, buffing, drying etc..
Throw away your cotton/terry towels as there is no comparison, especially on a black car.
The only downside is that it can get expensive when using alot of them to do a complete detail. There is a large discrepancy in the quality available. The best deal I have seen on decent microfiber cloths was at Costco. If you want to go high end there is a company called PAKSHAK, very plush excellent quality. Remember to cut off the little white nylon tags as they can cause marring.

Good luck

I bought a bunch of Microfiber towels from PakShak. They have gotta be about the best ones out there. They made the ones I bought at wal-mart turn into window cleaning towels.
