Talking I discovered the ZEN of using micro fiber towels!!!

I recently bought this set of micro fiber towels from http://www.brilexsolutions.com/page32.html and I can't beleive how great they are.

These towels are great for cleaning, drying, buffing, polishing... its amazing. I'm not specifically endorsing these towels, but micro-fiber towels in general. I never realized how much extra work I was doing using regular cotton towels.

I am most impressed with how they clean glass. Everyone gets that haze on their windows that just won't seem to go away, or they gets streaks no matter how well they clean, well not with these towels. It's actually an enjoyable experience cleaning the car now.

I agree. They are so much better than cotton. The microfiver applicators are even better than the cotton applicators like the one Zaino supplies. I get mine from Classic Motoring Accessories.

Heads up when washing them though....
Don't machine wash them with anything else but the Microfiber cloths and let them air dry...this well help reduce (my mind is blank for the word) the little fuzzies that cross from one type of clothing to the other. I hand wash mine with a scoop of OxiClean...they are on their some 50th use now and look new.

Thanks for the heads up about washing them with other items.... I knew not to use powered detergant and not to use fabric softener, but it only makes sense to wash them on their own...

Boy I love these towels....

Yea Micro towels are great for waxing and polishing. I use them. Hears a heads up if you didn't know. You can buy them at Wal Mart in the auto section. Set of 5 a pack for 4.95 and theyare the same size as most of the cotton ones you can buy. They have a towel size miro for drying also. It was around $6 or $7. It's 6.5 sq feet.

They r great. it doesn't leave any residue on the car after wipping and it removes the polish and wax effortlessly. I should of starting using them 2 years ago.

I have use the same ones several times on my car and they are still holding up great. Just wash them when needed but still look like new.
