Landcruiser,
Your PM box is full, I could not respond to your question, but here's an answer:
Go with the Autopia CBT type towel: Autopia CBT
I feel they are as soft if not softer than DF's towel. :bigups

personally i would not do that. only because I often find that when the car is still wet there's still soil and not entirely clean water still sitting on the paint. Using a lubricant like 425 is good to dry the paint with but instead of 425 I would use a cleaning detailer like Poorboys Rinseless wash, Optimum No Rinse (qd strength dilution) or FK 146. Once the paint has been "dried cleaned" I would then go to 425, which I use on everything, glass, paint, vinyl, head/tail lights, wheels etc.
I was using the wax as you dry approach and even though my car is almost always clean shiny looking I noticed that after polishing with Prime and Klasse the polishing towel was coming up allot dirtier vs. "dry cleaning" where polishing left much less soiled polishing towels. Wax as you dry products and methods tend to inadvertently layer dirt. It's too bad a product like Prime doesn't come in a sprayable form for post wash drying.
p.s.
I would also use the 425 before putting waxes and polishes. Once they haze over spray some more 425 to buff out the wax and polish. Its good to lubricate not only in drying but laying and removing waxes/polishes as well.
