Are "good" microfiber towels truly worth it?

**pcw25** · 12-08-2011, 09:34 PM

I've always bought my microfiber towels from Sams Club, Costco, and other places? What's the difference between their microfiber and Autogeeks? As long as the towels are clean wouldn't performance be the same? I'm just not sure what the point is in investing extra money in so called "better" microfiber towels.

I prefer Cotton over Microfiber

Whoever strated the lie that Cotton is bad for your paint is an idiot

I've used cotton and it's worked fine! I just don't know what all the hype is about these super duper microfiber towels.

I really don't either to tell you the truth. I've had far more problems using microfibers then I ever have with cotton

Someone should come out with a nice cotton line IMO

Where do you get your cotton towel from?

Baby diapers work well.

LOL

I actually wouldn't mind trying some nice cotton towel some time- I'm not sure if cotton towels would be the same but I know I hate micro fibers because they pick so mu crap up and things get stuck in them.

(Since there was no specific mention for the OP's original intended use):

I think that's why MF's work well for "waterless washes",hence picking up micro dirt/debris from the vehicles surface,instead of dragging across the paint-micro marring
