This is why i don't do anything to my car myself anymore. NOTHING i ever do come out right... Not exaggerating. In my life EVERY SINGLE time i did an oil change on my other cars i had one of the following problems: wrong filter, wrong tools, wrong jack, wrong socket, filter too tight, filter out of reach, Drain plug too tight, drain plug wont grab.....
Thats why on my lex i never do anything my self anymore... but to safe some cash (brake service is well in the $600 range) i did it my self.. Removed everything. Cleaned it all out with brake cleaner. Put grease in the chims. right when i was ready to put them on i noticed the pads were the wrong size... when i came out of the dealer again after finding a ride, it was like 30 degrees and like 30 mph winds that kicked in.. boy it was awful....

I remember when I still had warranty. I got a loaner once. I had to do a trip to AZ. I asked them if it was ok for me to take the loaner sense my Lexus was at the dealer because i took it in for something and a day later my entire fuze box and harnesst burned and left me on the side of the road. Anyway they told us NO. I understand and was ok with it. Got my car back. Went back for something else wrong. got fixed. then my wife was scheduling another visit for ANOTHER thing wrong with the car. The guy on the phone told her we were not going to get a loaner. My girl asked why. Then another guy got on the phone and started literally screaming at my wife!! Telling her "YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN GET A CAR FROM US BECAUSE YOU TAKE THEM TO PHOENIX!!" I was driving and even i could hear him. I got pist off because we NEVER went out of town on the loaners. My wife hung up the cell and called the manager. The manager was better but you could tell he was on the dealers side. Later that week when we took our car in, our service advisor deeply apologized.
But my service degraded much over time when i had warranty.. I think its because my car had quite a few problems big and small and they just got sick of us complaining. I think we reached their max $$/pre customer for warranty cover....

of course, you can get the waffle weave type, use nothing but mf on your car, NO CALI WATER BLADE/NO LEATHER/NO TERRYCLOTH... only mf towels and always do one section then rinse even if you just washed the car, frequent rinsing ppl... always fold the towels and as they get dirty turn to a clean side.
time to go shopping for some mf towels lol. shamwow shall be used for cleaning countertops LLOL

I bought a pack of 8 MF towels and 3 Short hair MF buffing towels!! There is this foam CONE at autozone, i think i will be buying it and wrapping it with a MF towel! To put it on my drill and make things a little faster.

I'm not too sure I'd use the cone and I'm not sure how it would be faster. If you clean your car often enough, you should just be able to rinse with water and soap, then clean with MF towel. Anything more than that is not really necessary and could cause scratches, etc.
