I use cobra's on my car. I especially like the cobra supreme's and cobra deluxe microfiber towels they are very soft and don't scratch the paint. I love this cuz I have a black car. I'm a microfiber nut, you should see my collection lol.

oh and for drying try some waffle weaves, they're awesome. Hope I helped

As stated, Cobra makes a nice MF towel. I have several different towels for different jobs though (glass care, polishing, final buff, quick detailing, etc.) so for me it really depends on what it's being used for.

One tip: make sure to rub them across a cd to test for scratching before using them on your paint. Not all microfiber is equal.

Its the towels that are dual stitched that are good quality, sams club has them and there the same as the ones that mothers, adams, zaino, all those companies promote with there own brand microfiber. If the towel is dual stitched premium microfiber then they're the same as the rest.

The Blue Perl towels are nice for the money but IMO the Sonus towels are overpriced.

I like the blue towels from Tropicare. I picked half a dozen of them over the summer and they are incredibly soft and do a wonderful job on finish paint.

All of our microfiber towels come with FREE SHIPPING. The CD test is excellent for testing all towels/applicators that come into contact with the paint/clearcoat.

Choose from varieties for polish removal, waffle weaves for drying, detailing and woven for glass cleaning.
