The Woobie (http://www.autogeek.net/paint-polishing-towel.html)

I bought these on BOGO, love them. I use them to remove wax or instant detailer. Very soft MF towels that stand up to several machine washing. Very plush.

Waffle weave really? You would think on soft paint that the waffle weave would be playing with fire due to its very short nap?

Woobie's have no edge which is wonderful. Nothing to worry about.

Seriously?!?!

Guys I wouldn't use those, (especially waffle weave) anywhere NEAR a "final wipe".

Some LSP's the 530 can work, especially a wax that has hazed or something like that.

But a final wipe is something totally different. I recently had a few additions to my 'collection', some I like a lot. Take a look here (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/64988-latest-microfiber-additions-cardaddy-stable.html).

These are 600 & 700 gsm towels, both do an excellent job with no worries of swirls. I actually feel the 600 was a better value, (at least by the case). Nothing like a 130 or so of them to get things done right. Plus they are very affordable. ;)

Final wipe? I'm assuming your using some type of QD or spray wax? I always use waffle weave towels. I use these, because they glide across the paint much easier than super fluffy towels do and pick up and spread out liquids easily.

QD and Spray waxes are liquids - right? - so I find just like if your drying a car, a soft waffle weave works best. I used to use super fluffy towels, until I realized this and started using waffle weaves and they just worked much better. Plus, you will hardly ever have to worry about waffle weaves leaving any lint on dark cars.

In particular, I use waffle weave towels that are 16x27" from Microfiber Tech. I bought 10 of them for $30. I use those towels for drying, QD'ing, and spray waxing. The car has always been previously washed.

If your talking about buffing off a wax, I've been using CarPro's BOA towel.
