What are the best microfiber towels to get? I was on the chemical guys website looking to get some stuff and my head hurts with so many towel choices available. What towels are top quality for drying, polishing, waxing? I would appreciate any feedback

Uber Waffle Weave Drying Towel
Uber All Purpose towel (great for interiors, wheels, etc)
Uber "No Name" is great for removing wax
overall this is probably the best seller Uber "Classic"
Uber Glass Towel
Currently our towels are all on sale, the Father's Day special for an additional 20% off ends tomorrow. (Use "2000" at checkout)

waffle weave for drying. and my preference for buffing and removing wax are the thickest fluffiest ones you can get. For windows , rims, etc. the cheap micro fibre towels you get a wal-mart are good enough.
hope this helps.

The Chemical Guys have the best towels. That is what I use. They are not cheap, but are hands down the softest of any I've tried thus far...and I've tried A LOT of brands.

Yes. Gentle cycle. i dry them on "air dry" setting in my dryer (lowest possible heat setting) and whatever you do, absolutely NO dryer sheets. NEVER!
What type of soap or cleaner do you use ?
