Ok so I was noticing that the bonnets (orange) that I got seem to be not as soft as the indigo. Is it? is there a bonnet made out of the super-plush deluxe MF? Does anyone have a better suggestion to buffing the sealant or wax? ANd no I don't want to do it by hand!!!

Just curious, how many bonnets do you go through for a single coat of wax? Me thinks I applied a bit too thick!

Feed back please

2 Microfiber bonets should do an average car, unless you apply it too thick. Remember that two thin coats are better then one thick one.

Indigo Towels and orange bonnets are made up differently, if you look the indigo has a different weave so it will feel different.

"You can see how the structure of the Cobra Indigo is different from other Cobra microfiber towels in this close-up. These dense loops give the towel an uneven texture that is excellent at removing wax."

so what bonnets do you recommend I use? I mean it seems stupid to go through all this work just to cause abrasions when you buff it!

These are what you are discussing ?? They should be plenty soft for wax removal. And at lower speeds should not add any scratches. That said, I still prefer hand removal. And as Meghan offered, the design of the indigos weave not just the soft material is what truly makes polish/wax removal a breeze.
