    How many microfibers

    are needed to remove polish such as Mezerna SIP, Nano, or 85RD for a normal size car? I assume it's not like wax where I can just use one and periodically shake it out.

    Do you change to a new towel on each section like you do with the pads?

    Any recommendations on which microfiber towels will work best?

    New towel on every panel. I like the white/indigo Cobra towels for removing polish.

    I use about 3 towels per buffing stage. The finer the polish, the softer the microfiber.

    If you are insistent or need to purchase towels locally, I highly suggest visiting Target and look at the Vroom brand. They offer a 4 pack in striped design for around 7.00 that seem to work well and dont scratch. Of course, I prefer Cobra towels when possible.

    I would suggest a minimum of 4 per polishing stage and likely around 6. Especially if you prefer one per hand while buffing or can find a friend to help.
