seems like everyone is just using microfiber to do their polishing. Anyone still using the old smooth polishing towels?

I use microfiber on the paint. I will occasionally use the old school towels on glass or chrome.

On badly oxidized paint, I would use terry or the flannel cloth that your talking about.

does this stuff scratch? Only thing i`ve noticed is it gives off a good bit of lint.

Are you speaking about a smooth cotton towel for buffing off residue or applying the compound or polish?

"Polishing towel" in my opinion refers to the name the distributor has given it.....I own plush MF`s, and not so plush MF`s, and i consider them polishing towels.....I mean what makes it a "polishing" towel anyway ?
Im not being argumentative, just saying is there something about the weave or nap that gives it additional polishing power ?

I like towels that are plush for buffing off residue. That residue isn`t very soft and can leave scratches. A flat towel with no plush doesn`t give the residue any place to go. It`s just pushed across the surface.
So, I don`t use the flat ones for buffing off residue at all. They got to be plush.
