  • Microfiber recommendation??

    What microfiber cloth do you recommend??
    Have read a bit about Cobra microfiber cloths, and they seem and look very good? 200,000 fibres per sq inch,
    while others have 90,000

    Am i mistaken??

    Be careful, the fibers per sq in numbers being thrown around are usually bogus and have no relation to quality.

    Terry fabric usually has a thread count around 150. You can count them yourself, just use a magnifying glass. Each thread has a number of yarns of which some are microfiber, NOT ALL, just some. So if you take the microfiber count in each thread and multiply by the number of threads per sq in you arrive somewhere around 6600. In reality I've never seen a terry fabric having polyester microfiber content that exceeds 8,000.

        I have been very happy with Meguiars!?!? They are priced well, atleast in the US. I have about 20 of them.

              To date never had a problem with ssm/f. Very good quality, price, and performance.

                  I just tried the Supreme Shine 2 days ago and I reckon this is the best microfiber I have used to date.

                  Over here in Australia it is on the expensive side but the size and the quality makes it worth it.

                      You are going to really enjoy using the mf glass towels from ads. They are by far the best product I ever used on my glass.

                            I use the Meguiars California Drying Towels for the body of the car, the Water Magnets for the wheels and lower panels and the Supreme Shine microfibers for general shine/buffing work. All work extremely well. They are quality products. I use a gel blade to get the water off before drying. One drying towel and one water magnet are sufficient.
