Micro Fiber towels
Thanks to everyone who responded to my question on wood maintenance. I have another question concerning micro fiber towels to clean this car. I have read many articles relating to this subject but still remain somewhat confused. I have read to stay away from towels from Korea and China and only purchase the premium towels that are made in the USA. My question is, which ones do you members use, which are the best, and where do you purchase? Does anyone use DF Concours towels? If so, is the website safe to purchase with a credit card? Thanks again for any experiences on this subject.

That's simply bad advice. The best microfiber is from Korea and Asia in general. I have found that PakShak (there is a discount for members here) has the best quality but AutoGeek is also good.
I have tried DF Concours Towels repeatedly and I just don't find the performance there. They are less effective than Pak towels and they are not as soft or well made as advertised. Not recommended.

My experience exactly.
Do buy quality MF towels. The cheap ones are not very good.

I'm from S. Korea and one of my relatives work really hard making microfiber towels.He and his workmates really try to produce the best good possible and I cant stand people commenting that way.

I've purchased many different types of MF towels. The only ones you want to stay away from are those that produce swirls! It doesn't really matter where they are made as opposed to the quality. I think assuming quality is poor just because they were manufactured in a certain country is just poor judgement.

I usually test microfibre towels by running it over the palm of my hand. If the towel snags on the callouses on my hand, its pretty good. Good microfibre cloth if looked under a microscope have tiny hooked tread that make it so great and removing wax and the like. All microfibre have the potential to scratch but it's not due to the cloth, but due to the dirt it picks up and has remained on the cloth. So you have to be careful not to drop it on the ground and clean it thoroughly. I purchase a brand from Pep Boys for 5.99 for 3 towels in a pack. Usually yellow, green and blue. Does a better job than many so called professional brand. But it's your choice, whatever works for you and gives you the results you are looking for. Go for it.

A good test is to rub the mf across an old CD and see if it leaves scratches. The good ones don't, the bad ones do. I would point out that even if it doesn't scratch it may still not remove polish and wax well. You need to buy quality mf to see why people rave about them. The cheapo products are just another rag.

How do you guys clean them? Wash/dry at local laundry matt? Mine say to wash and not put in a dryer. I don't have any where to hang that many towels Will drying them in a dryer really be a problem?
