For some reason I have this thought in my head that the edges of Supreme Shine towels, Water Magnets, and other MF towel edges will harm my finish. Am I thinking correctly about this, or am I just being paranoid..?

You, sir, are a wee bit paranoid.

Re: Will MF towel edges add scratches/micro-marring/swirls?
I think some of the microfibers can cause scratches due to the nature of production. As I understand it, microfibers are cut with a hot knife that can cause hard spots on the edges. AutoGeek had an issue with the first set of Shamrock towels, but since went to a border on the towels to protect the paint.
I haven't seen any from Megs like this, although I'm still a fan of the Gold Class microfibers with the satin edges on them over the newer (non-satin edged) version.
I hope this convinced you to take off the foil hat.

Anytime you touch your paint, there is a chance of marring your paint. Always remember that

If the edge does not feel hard or rough. I would say your okay. If the edges are hard of course there is the potential to induce scratches.quality creates its own demandComment

Well I still wear the foil hat. On all my Supreme shines, just to be safe, I cut the corners off before using them.
The black paint on my Camry mars if I look at it wrong so I take no chances.

Yes, there is a possibility that the edge could scratch, but I haven't had any experiences where it has. When you use a microfiber towel, the pressure of your hand is not towards the end of the towel, but more in the middle.Comment

Thanks for the posts! I think I'll keep my way of being paranoid for now until I can prove to myself if it swirls or doesn't swirl my finish. lol2011 Infiniti G37S 6MT
