Cotton tshirts work great. Personally, I use socks to apply wax sometimes, and tshirts to buff it off.

I do not recommend using t-shirts, socks, or anything else you wear...

Use only 100% white cotton (made in USA) towels or high quality microfiber.

Yeah, I wouldn't use it all the time, but as a fast substitute if your cotton towels are dirty or you don't have any on hand, the tshirt is a decent substitute. Just make sure you use a section with no seams and tear the tag off before you even think of putting it by your car.

T-shirts are not good to use. Even if they are 100% made in USA white cotton (which they aren't), they have no nap and can cause scratches and swirls very easily.

Take anything cotten and trash it. Spend the money and move to microfiber.
