Going to order some Microfiber towels today. Still confused on which to get for what I will be using them for. Suggestions for wax removal, buffing, polishing, final wipe after buffing and Interior. Thanks for your help on this.

if you want a good all-purpose mf towel that can do it all, get the gold plush jr's...

Yep. That's all I use, except for waterless washes and drying. IMO, best towel.

I like the gold plush jr.'s but not at $5 + a towel. CG has the same towels at a much better price. They are the same towels. You can also check the rag company. They have great quality towels at great prices plus free shipping as well. AG's shipping prices are extremely high. You can also check Microfiber tech. Except for the gold towels from CG I buy everything else from MF tech and the rag company.

I use a 14x14 (I think) Eagle Blue for almost everything, mine have an edge but I see they only have edgeless ones now. They were sold in a pack of 10 when I got them.

Does it count detailing related, if I contemplated about going the Tuff Shine route today on 4 new tires for my Dodge? :D

I've gotten both and the AutoGeek one feels like its more high quality. The CG ones didn't last that long and all the fibers would clump together for some reason.

Hmm. I had the reverse happen. The CG's worked great for me and the AG's did not perform as well.

it's hit or miss with the cobra microfibers. i've had some lint and some that didn't. the one's that have been linting for me are the green edgeless mf towels (as seen below), which is kinda of a bummer... :( the cg mf towels that have served me well are the blue fluffer with the red edging...

I *TOTALLY* agree with that statement!:dblthumb2:

CG towels are not the same, close, but no cigar. When "mitchliving" was here for training last spring he had a bundle of them. If I remember right the CG towels are 80/20 and MFT are (I know) 75/25.

OTOH, MFT 360's are exactly the same and run a fraction of the cost. (Especially if you order a case of 180, where they'll run less than a buck fifty.):buffing:
