I do. Nothing else touches my car. Whatever you do, make sure you NEVER dry your microfiber towels using Dryer Sheets, such as Bounty. I use the basic Tide detergent (no fabric softners can be in the detergent) and throw them straight in the dryer with on low heat with nothing else.
I also take my Leaf Blower and blow out every single ounce of water out of every crack and then dry it again. This way, you get no water streaks when you drive off.

Why would you not put a dryer sheet?

Because a dryer sheet actually causes the microfiber to get hard which can then hurt your paint. Although you might think it will "soften" your towels, it will actually cause more harm than good. This is especially true around the egdes of the microfiber towel, where the fibers can become rough and cause scratches when you're wiping down your car.
