What's the best microfiber towel to use

Re: microfiber

I prefer the blue ones. Sometimes I use the yellow ones, but only in the morning...well sometimes mid morning. (I caught myself using the yellow ones once in the afternoon..too many beer I guess) ) I save the green ones for after noon only, unless I run out, and then use the blue ones. On special days, I use the black ones.

Seriously, everone will have their own favorites.

Re: microfiber

I'm still trying to figure that out.
The ones that stay soft are my favorites.
Brands like Meguiars have excellent towels.

Re: microfiber

First off welcome to the forum.

From Meguiar's I recommend the supreme shine for compounds/polishes/wax removal, detail spray's and spray waxes. The water magnet is what you want for drying the car when washing.

I almost forgot about the ultimate wipe. These are awesome for removing waxes.

While each of the above mentioned towels are indeed microfiber, they are woven in different ways and have different thread designs, that allow them to do certain tasks better than the other towels. For example, while the Water Magnet waffle weave drying towel does a fantastic job of drying a car, trying to use the Supreme Shine towels for the same thing is an exercise in frustration; they simply aren't meant to be water absorbent. But they do a great job of grabbing compound, polish and wax residue.

Stick around the forums long enough and you learn a thing or two. It does help to have a good forum admin who kindly shares his knowledge.

Re: microfiber

I'm hesitant to recommend a non-Meguiar's product here on their forum, but if you are looking to save some money, I've found that the bulk pack of microfibers from Costco and BJ's warehouse clubs to be pretty good once you rip those damn tags off of them. The Auto-zone microfiber towels ****!!! They leave a fine fuzz behind on the car that looks like **** and is actually hard to get off if you are trying to apply a quickwax.

Re: microfiber

Be careful with the Costco ones. I used one and that one time I used it, it caused a nice little scratch on the black painted sail panel on my Camaro. The tag was removed. That is the last time a Costco towel has touched the paint. They are now for wheels, engine bay, etc....

By the way this is an open forum so you can recommend anything or talk about other products.

The Costco one's are nice, but IMO not for paint. I also use them for wheels, engine bay, jambs, etc. The best deal lately has been the 20 Supreme Shine's for $20 at Wal Mart. They have now raised the price to $30, but its still a great deal. $1.50 for each one, plus you get free shipping.
