My grandma , Ruthie, always used to say newspapers worked best.
But for me, I will stick with mf towels; after all, they did not have those then.

Cobra WW MF towel coupled with DP Krystal Vision is the best for me.

Same here. I do it day in and day out. DP's KV is simply the best out there.

They work great, but they have one thing wrong with them. On some the ink will transfer off the paper to your glass. Just be careful and watch out for the ink.

I have never heard this myth, but I think ill stick with some MF's. I do sometimes us the empty paper towels rolls to dry cars. Who needs a guzzler when you have soft cardboard.
