Favorite Method of Buffing off Stuff

So, i know everybody has their favorite way of buffing off wax and sealants. What do you guys like? Microfiber, terry cloth, flannel, diaper material, loin cloths, whatever... I just wanna know what you use.

MF- either towels or bonnets, and either plush or suede-style depending on what I'm buffing off.

Since buying some Autopia Concours Buffing Towels a year-plus ago, that's now all I use for buffing off Zaino/Klasse or for QDing. Yes, I suppose I could have voted in the "MF" category, but the Autopia & DFTowel buffing towels seems to me to be in a league of their own.

Any carnauba wax gets buffed of with a terry towel, but all QD's go on/off with MF; just seems to work best for me.
The best of both worlds!

Try the new Sonus yellow towel! Talk about a league of their own. I bought 4 of them.

The CBT's for me have all come apart because if you hit a corner or an emblem, they fray like mad. I love the feel, but they are too delicate in that regard. However I still use them often. It's just the construction I'm down on.

I really love my Magic Towels, Blue Perls and Khakis over the others like Pak Shak, Excel, Meguiars and Vipers.

Microfiber everything! Here's a good place where you can get microfiber bayonets and wash mit for a good price. The cheapist I've found and I've used them for 6 applications and they look great.
