Re: micro fiber

There is a difference between quality MF and some low end MF. I concider Meguiars supreme MF to be the best and only use those towels for the paint of vehicles. Other towels like from AutoZone or Wally World or any other place are used for other jobs as I detail like interiors, door jams, wheels, ect.

Re: micro fiber

The MF towels you buy at autozone are they good enough to use on windows when you're cleaning them. ?

I get mine at Sam's club. I only use them when new on the paint. Once washed, they are for wheels, interior, glass, and around the house.

Re: micro fiber

I use the small Target ones for my glass, interior, etc.

As a side note, you mentioned different quality, but there is also different design.

The waffle weave type are better for drying, the plush ones better for product removal. There are ones 'designed' for glass, but I never cared for them. And then other types, or variations.

I think there is also GSM unit. Grams per Square Meter is a unit of density of the cloth. I guess plush one have higher GSM.

Meguiar's supreme shine microfibers are great for compound and polish removal as well as wax/sealant removal and quick detail sprays and claying. They are also a great interior and glass towel as well if you have an ample supply to dedicate some for exterior and some for interior as to not cross contaminate towels with residuals from different products. For example I don't want a microfiber I've used to apply dressing or glass cleaner to become a compound/polish/wax removal towel or vice versa, at a later time even after washing.

Moral of the story, Meguiar's supreme shine microfiber towels are a great multipurpose microfiber so stock up!

I am a supreme shine addict, but lets not forget Meguiars Ultimate Wipes! I have quite a few of both in my arsenal.
