Hey guys,
I've finally gotten my black '03 Vette fully polished (no swirls, scratches, etc.) and I'm really happy with the results. So tonight I noticed that a little of the second coat of NXT 2.0 on my hood had not been completely removed with the microfiber bonnet on my G100.
I have several microfiber polishing cloths from Griot's Garage in my arsenal which are brand new. I've never had much luck with cheaper microfiber products in the past having experienced light scratching with any that I've previously used.
I pulled out one of the plushest ones tonight and, using a little spray detailer, wiped a small area on my hood. I noticed very fine, long scratches following this. I will have to repolish lightly with #80 and follow with wax I suppose now.
I am really confused and not happy at all now.
What microfiber polishing cloth can I buy that will absolutely not scratch the clear coat on my black car?
I'm looking right now at the Supreme Shine Microfiber, Cobra microfiber polishing cloth, DragonFibre microfiber, DF Concours towels, Meg's Cotton Terry towels, etc.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I know that you're supposed to look for 200,000 strands per square inch and a good mixture of the fiber content. Meg's doesn't list theirs, but I've done a bunch of searches here tonight and read that they are very good. The DragonFibre microfiber cloth I was looking at has 220,000 strands.
I saw Mike's DVD on polishing out the black '60 Vette and noted that he used both the microfibers and the terry towels. Any thoughts on the comparison of those?
Thanks in advance guys. I just want to buy some high quality microfibers or cotton towels that I can use with confidence. Am I just expecting too much on a black car? I would like to be able to wipe down the highly polished black surface and not worry about immediately scratching everything.
