I have tried several bargain brands in the roughly 12"x16" size -- what you might call "commodity" items, usually available in rolls of 3-5. Zwipes, Vroom (Target's house brand), Viking, Turtle Wax, SM Arnold, and the like... and they all seemed fine.

Probably the one thing to look out for is how the corners are stitched -- or rather, heat welded -- I try to avoid those. The Detailer's Choice (Tiger Accessory Group) in 70/30 blend had sharp welded corners that I didn't notice until I got them home, but maybe it was just my batch. A tad thin, they were cheap at $2.49 for 3 at Big Lots.

And of course I've got a broad selection of quality towels of varying weaves.

Depends on what you're looking for.



Great overview on MF towels.

There is a difference in MF. Don't think they are all the same. You put a WalMart MF side by side with a quality MF and you will see and feel the difference.

As Jim does, I use the cheaper ones for light duty types of things. For me i use the cheap ones for windows, interior, wheels, etc. When I polish/buff, I use higher quality MF towels to minimize scratching the paint.

A waffle weave towel is used for drying. Try www.pakshak.com or any of the links JimD provided to check out various types/kinds of MF.




Did you say you also apply polish/wax with microfiber cloths?
