Alright so now that I know what to do now in terms of how we`re supposed to detail cars now you know what I`m sayin. What I was taught vs. what autopia has taught. Thanks for that.



So I bought a MF mitt and 7 MFs at O`Riellys, I`ve used them and washed them, and I like them so now I wanna get good quality ones and demote the MFs to wheel and interior MFs and get a couple good ones for drying and then in like April I will polish and seal and wax and stuff. So Ive been looking on autogeek and heres what I was thinking about.



The Guzzler Waffle Weave Microfiber Drying Towel by Cobra is a better drying towel than a chamois, or terry cloth towel. Microfiber makes the best (http://www.autogeek.net/microfiber-waffle-weave.html)



3 Pack Cobra Guzzler HD Waffle Weave Drying Towels, 16 x 24 inches (http://www.autogeek.net/cobra-hd200-3.html)



Cobra Total Microfiber Tool Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/tomitokit.html) Is the mitt ok? Cuz mine I have now is a mesh mitt and I like it, but that one is like cylinders. Which one is better?



I believe mine are Viking brand.



So I need a good drying towel for now. I believe the mitt I have is fine. What would you guys suggest for the drying any of these or any of your own you prefer?

....I haven`t been impressed with any of the towels I tried from the "Cobra" label/AG these days but that`s not to say I would have the same experience with everything in their lineup. I`m just not in a hurry to sample anymore towels from them since my last experience (i.e. shedding from their premium towels and absorbency issues from my last batch of WW`s). However, I was quite happy with the PakShak towels I recently sampled and will be placing an order very soon for several more.



In either case, I would strongly suggest you buy sample qty`s that you can try before committing to larger orders. Quality can vary even between batches from the same source.

I personally like the Cobra Arctic White Edgeless.

PakShak Ultra Soft WW.. Great drying towel

I`d like to hear some feedback about some of the "plush MF drying towels". I almost bought some of the orange ones from Chemical Guys when they were having their sale, but nobody posted anything when I asked about them and I don`t need any more also-rans sitting around.



Yeah, Ilike my PakShak Ultra-soft WWs and the seemingly identical Sonus ones, but there *are* some cases where I`d rather use a plush towel....IF (and it`s a mighty big "if" IMO!) they really do get every iota of water (none of the plush MFs I have will do that).

Zwipes Microfiber works best for you. As it contains 90,000 fibers per square inch to lift and hold dust, dirt, grease. Further, it absorbs eight times its own weight in liquid. Most importantly, you could find 109 customer reviews of that product on Amazon.:)

Is Zwipes really that great? I was thinking of buying some as they are really inexpensive. Most reviews on Amazon are for cleaning around the house, not on automotive paint.
