thanks, I have been using Costco’s yellow micro-fiber’s for years; use them once and throw them away.
I just notice they now sell Cotten Teri and if anyone had used them and their thoughts on the difference.

Terry cotton is worse. I personally only use the yellow costco MF towels for the interior, exhaust tips, wheels, etc. You can get higher quality (softer) MF towels than the Costco ones online - detailedimage.com, theragcompany.com are a couple i've used in the past (no affiliation).

I use the Costco yellow MF towels for all of my detailing. Remember, it's a car that is exposed to sun, wind, rain and flying objects at high speeds! A soft towel is not going to do any damage to the finish of the car.

The Costco MF towels are great and do everything I need them to do as far as detailing. Because of their economy, they get tossed into the garbage after one use. The exception is when I use them for glass, after which I'll save them for cleaning the wheels.

So wrong using a cotton towel to dry your car will ruin the finish. Micro fiber cloth can be washed no issues. Just was them together nothing else and just laundry soap no fabric softener.
