Microfiber vs. Terrycloth
after a 5hr detail, i put the new towel to the test. i used Meguiars #9 swirl remover, applying with a terry pad, then rubbing off with a cheapy MF. after almost 2hrs of that, i used #26 hi-tech wax, applied with another washable terry pad. i used my new Meguiars terry towel to take the wax off.....and what a differance it made. the wax cam off MUCH easier and faster with the terry then my MF, including my very high quality Meguiars MF. this wasnt just a dollar store towel, it was the one the Meguiars rep himself suggested, so i tried it. i must say, im more impressed with the towel then the MF. thick, heavy nap, very soft, very absorbent. i used the MF for the final touch ups and buffing. brilliant shine, like a black mirror. i think this has switched me from MF to quality terry for my Trans Ams. my truck and other vehicles i do, ill keep with cheap MF for wax removal.
I would not recommend them. The biggest key to protecting from scratches and swirls is Nap. High quality MF and high quality Terry have tons of nap. Baby diapers do not .. so while they are soft enough to not cause scratching by themselves, if there is any dust, dirt or other abrasive material on the finish, the risk of causing scratches and swirls with the diapers is higher than if you are using a towel that has a lot of nap.
Not all microfibers are create equal or designed to do every task in front of you. Ordinarily unprocessed, unsplit microfiber is used for water repellent clothing. Try and dry your car off using that microfiber.
Take a close look at our microfiber selection at www.tropi-care.com. These microfibers towels are finished in a number of ways depending upon their intended job. For drying, you have waffle weave(TC-M3) which are thick, thirsty and super absorbent to hold as much as 9 times their weight in water.
For product residue removal, our TC-M4 Super Plush towel features a long fibers and super soft texture to quickly grab and hold wax or sealants without loading up the fabric or spreading it around on the surface.
On one side of our detail towel (TC-M5), the shorter sheared side fiber allows you to glide across the surface with detail spray. In comparison, the reverse side exhibits a longer fiber to safely grab light dust and pull it away from the surface while buffing to a brilliant shine.
Cleaning glass? A specific task towel (TC-W9) that has a tightly compressed and weave texture to clean glass streak and lint-free. A dirty or excessive moisture in the towel are major contributors to streaking glass. We use one damp glass towel and a dry one for best results.

I love the waffle weaves. I will be ordering more shortly, and will probably replace the pak shak WW's I have been using with them as I retire towels.
