Default cobra microfiber question

This has probably been asked before, but I didn't really know what to search for to find the results.

Which specific cobra microfiber towel do you use for each of the following:

- drying
- applying Z6
- removing Z5/Z2

I wanted to get some new towels (since I'm still having trouble with my 100% cotton ones), and thought I'd ask before buying. Autogeek has tons of cobra microfiber, so I wanted to know which specific ones you recommend.

I guess I better warn Jason to toss you some additional samples in next order for being a great salesman, Mrosa.

When ordering MF towels ... think seperation, no fabric softner, and liquid cleaners. If done they will last years without issue.

I got these very towels (except for the super plush) from Autogeek, and I got them for these specific applications. Mike will not steer you wrong.

The guzzler is amazing. Even when damp, it hardly leaves a trail. I cut mine in half, and after blow drying the car, I can dry the whole thing with the half of the 20x40. Any slight trailing that happens is picked up with the other, dry half--which I use to brace myself when drying the rocker panels and underneath the bumpers, since I don't like to put my hands on the car too much. Only problem to warn about is that when I cut it, it is fraying a bit. So I have to have wifey sew the edge. Or you can get two smaller ones.

The indigo is great for removal of material because it has some texture...still soft, but it has small ridges to help remove material and not get clogged up.

I'll have to look at these plush towels. So far, I use older MF's for applying Z6/8.

Which one ??? Its seems like we have 10 different new products available currently. Oops ... just added Einszett to the mix.

Also of note:

Anyone looking for the Super Plush towels, I highly suggest the white ones on front page of site. They are super cheap at 29.99 for 10 before forum discount and the one side is super plush and other side is soft but not as thick so can be used for both qd'ers and polish removal.

Actually you've had it for awhile but I never tried it. The DP extreme foam car wash. I wanted to try it with the foam gun I bought from Autogeek.

I bought 20 of those towels and they're great for a lot of different types of work for the car. From removing wax to the windows, they do it all. Of course my brother had to out order me and had purchased 30.
