So far I have purchased all of my microfiber towels that I use to remove waxes, polishes and sealants from autogeek. The ones that I use are the deluxe ultra plush. I have heard alot of people get their MF towels from Pakshak and was wondering if they are any better or worse than the ones autogeek has? Which one of the Pakshak MF towels would you purchase to perform the above mentioned duties? Or, should I just stick to the autogeek ones?
And, what about WW microfiber drying towels? Who has the best ones? I`ve already got two from autogeek. One large one and one small one. I was thinking of getting another one and using the small one that I already have strictly for door jambs and wheels. Are Pakshaks WW`s any different?

I haven`t tried Autogeeks MF but Paks are brilliant. The WW are second to none. I bought several of the irregular ones on special and could not find anything wrong with them. At this price they`re probably the best quality around for your dollar.

I actually prefer the Cobra Super Plush MF from Autogeek to the PakShak Ultra Plush because they are larger. There is nothing wrong with the Ultra Plush, as it is a fantastic towel, but for what I use a plush towel for, the Cobra works better for me.
For something local, check out Meguiar`s Supreme Shine. It`s not as nice a towel as the Ultra Plush from PakShak, but it`s larger and you can get it at most car care stores. I use mostly this towel, the aforementioned Cobra, the Ultra Plushes (since I have about 8 of them... I probably won`t buy more) and the CBT from the Autopia store for final buffing.

I agree. My favorite vendor of microfiber.

I do not own any MFs from Autogeek, but I do have a few from other vendor`s and the Pakshak are very very nice. Besides, he offers colors no one else does.

I own both the autogeek ones and the pakshak ones and I find the PakShak ones to be way above in quality level.

I have about a dozen of the Sonus Der Wunder polishing towels. They are very well made and do not fray easily like some Waffle weave towels. Also they don`t have the prickly ends which I really think is not good for the paint in the long run. Its really overkill for a well maintained surface.
I love my Excel WWs, wish they didn`t come with a label though. Otherwise, they`re extremely cost efficent compared to Pakshak ($18 shipped for the irregular towel compared to $10 for the monterey).

Warning: My preference was based on towels that I purchased about a year and a half ago...I believe both vendors have since changed/improved on their offerings.
Now that I have gotten that out of the way, I much prefer the Pak-Shak towels (Ultra Plush Plus and Ultra Fines). Definitely felt softer and over time has better maintained its high-quality.

So which ones from Pakshak would be the best for buffing off waxes, polishes and sealants?

These ones:

They have enough *bite* to remove even the most difficult products, yet soft enough not to marr the finish.
However, I would recommend these, at the moment:
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/mf-203-2.html
http://us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/autopia_1885_264815
I have both and performance is similar, but the Blue Perl towels are at a great price (they`re in a 2-pack).
