The types of weaves, that each of these
fabrics may have, can also be factors
in the determining of my favorite
towel(s) for the task-at-hand.

Cotton never touches anything exterior wise but my tires and engines on rare occasions. If doing the Leatherique system on a particularly bad car, I prefer cotton towels in my hot bucket to wipe off the Pristine Clean.

Why? Cotton itself MAY not scratch your paint, but I find cotton holds onto dirt even more than microfiber and never cleans as well in the machine.

Back in the day they used "baby diapers" because it was the softest cloths, but now microfiber is available and preferred.

So what do you use?

So what do you use?

Microfibertech mostly, but also Microfiber Madness and Eurow for exterior. For interiors I like the 36 packs from Costco.

I have towels ranging from 300 GSM - 1200 GSM. Some towels have a similar weight but completely different weave amd therefore different purpose.

530 GSM plush towel for waterless washing

530 Waffle weave for drying (though I use my Dry Me Crazy towel from Microfiber Madness instead)
