Thumbs up MicroFiber towels from WalMart

I bought a 5pack of micro fiber towels for a little over 5 bucks today. I'm very impressed to say the least. I used them to dry my car and they did a wonderful job. Much better and faster than using a chamois.

Nice find, but have you tried The Absorber? That is what I use. It rocks!

I second the Absorber. Although it feels like I'm rubbing a dinner placemat all over my car, it dries quickly and doesn't scratch or swirl.

Yes, absorber works awesome. Mine is 3 years old, I think I might need a new one.

But with microfiber towels, I find that they work well for windows. They don't leave lint all over the windows like a paper towel would. Plus I feel like it is less likely to scratch my window tint oppose to a paper towel.

Microfiber also work well with taking wax off the car.

True. I bought some crappy EagleOne wax that came with a microfiber towel to take the wax off after application. Works way better than my old 100% cotton towel.
