    Microfiber towels

    Just got my order of nice quality towels. I didn’t realize how big of a difference a quality towel felt over a cheap towel. I ordered the zwipes towels on amazon and “thought” they were quality because of a non detailing related google search. I ordered autofiber and rag company to see if I could tell a difference. They both feel amazing and I can’t wait to try them out on a car, problem is I’m scared to ruin the towels lol. I want to keep them nice plush and perfect. Anyone else feel this way?

    No, not really.

    They aren't the Mona Lisa. Lol

    Just take great care of them, and remember that they will eventually come to the end of their life .

    That is when you downgrade them to wheel and door jamb duty and order new ones.

    Completely understand.

    This forum only exists because of people being compulsively addicted to keeping things nice. (Vehicle-wise).

    But remember....MF towels, polishing pads, and applicators are all on the front line of our hobby (addiction).

    These are what "touch" our paint. Ask yourself: "What is more valuable? My paint, or the tools that touch it?"

    Treat your tools like gold, but....... they will need replacing every so often.

    I need to replace all of my pads if I plan to polish again. For me, they just can’t survive the high heat and humidity of Florida without delaminating. Fortunately, I don’t have to polish due to my crazy wash regimen. Microfiber towels

    That’s why I don’t normally buy real expensive towels... You have to realize that you bought those towels to touch your paint and prevent swirls, and the most common task that they’ll be put to do is either rinseless wash, waterless wash, or quik detailing duties.

    And since that’s the case, you better be prepared for those precious towels to wind up looking like this once you’re done cleaning your moderately dirty vehicle.



    Unless of course you decide to quik detail/waterless wash your car everyday. Lol.
