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

If you have a Costco anywhere near you they have a 2 or 3 pack which includes a microfiber mitt. It is by far the best microfiber I have found anywhere. No other microfiber is as thick and soft.

scroll all the way to the bottom and there is a couple of pics from the Costco towels!

Trust me they're the best!

hmmm these seems to be the most convenient (meaning I don't have to order online) and most cheap one haha. I should give these a try. But then again, you have a white car.....how can you tell if you have swirls? haha.

how about the absorber?

What type of soap or cleaner do you use ?
Tide with no additives. You want the BASIC Tide detergent. Basically, make sure it has NO fabric softeners in the detergent.

You get what you pay for. I'm sure if the OP of that thread saw the CG MF towels, he'd be shocked. These are no joke towels.

Thanks guys. Thanks for your input C. I took your advice . I'm assuming you use these for everything right? ie.drying, wiping off polish/wax etc. I was also considering this for drying http://www.chemicalguys.com/MICROFIBER_DRY...L_p/mic_721.htm or should I just stay with the CG MF Towels. I'm not crazy about spending $12 bucks for one towel. How many do you go through when drying since they're not that big?

Whats the difference, besides the size, between this one and this one http://www.chemicalguys.com/MONSTER_...ic_1100_03.htm

Also how about the uber weave towel?
