A lot of the microfibers I have used for polish and LSP removal have been washed mutiple times, and have basically seen a ton of use. So I probably need to replenish some with new ones. Previously I have purchased my microfibers from Autogeek, but I bought a couple diferent ones to try out a while back and was kind of unimpressed with their latest MFs. They are either not soft enough, or too soft and intended more for QD use.



Who offers good microfibers for polish and LSP removal anymore, with plenty of nap and won`t mar soft finished vehicles?

For soft paint, I like Mothers. For regular paint, I like Sam`s ProForce. Both are cheap enough to throw away if they become suspect.

Plus 2 for Pakshak. The Ultra Plush is a great all around towel.

http://www.detailersdomain.com/The-Original--Uber-No-Name-Uber-Super-Plush-Microfiber-Towel-16x16_p_574.html. This is the best towel I`ve found so far and though I really like it, tends to bleed even after several washings so DO NOT WASH WITH WHITES. The other towel which I really like by Adams Adam`s Single Soft Microfiber Towel (http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-588-adams-single-soft-microfiber-towel.aspx) Though very pricey, I caught them on a 2 for 1 sale and loaded up - worth checking the site and catching these guys on sale. Both towels are great for QD and wax/sealant removal. The Adams towel is single ply & therefore thin while the DD is VERY plush and feels 2x the weight.

Hey Accumulator, which of those Pak Shak towels do u like for buffering and are there any you prefer for waterless washes? Right now I`m using waffle towels for my waterless washes and pretty pleased with the ones I have - believe they are the Guzzler Towels from AG.

For pakshak towels I really like these:

Waterless washes the fire and ice

LSP removal silver surfer edge less

Quick detailers Big boy

Water removal Waffle weave (not the ultra soft the regular one) the ultra soft is too thin and not as absorbent as the regular one

Glass waffle weave glass towel.

I don`t do waterless/rinseless washes enough to make MF suggestions :nixweiss I`d get the softest/plushest/thickest available. Note that this runs sorta counter to your use of WWs, not that I mean to be :nono about it.



I *do* really like their Ultra-soft WW, it`s about all I use for drying (along with some older Sonus brand ones that are identical except for the color).



For buffing off polish and LSP residue, I prefer the Ultra-Plush ones. I`ve tried the thinner/less-plush Ultra-Soft version that some people prefer, but eh...I just like the plush version. Never found it hard to get the LSP residue off with plush MFs, but some people do have trouble with that.



I do use less plush MFs when doing polishing by hand, but that`s about all I use that style for.

Best bang for your buck and great quality IMO is Microfiber Tech! Ian runs the joint and does a great job at it with the BEST customer service and great quality. Their Korean towels are top notch and so are their Korean waffle weave drying towels. The 360gsm towels are great all purpose or basic polish towels as well. I have owned and washed mine MANY times with no problems and they go through some abuse in my detail shop.

Microfibertech rocks the house. I LOVE their microfiber towels and I also bought their microfiber mop. I have the frilly dust pads and the wet pads along with their cleaner and love them all.
