Microfiber towels
Any particular brand you use for waxing polishing, windows, drying, etc...
The Megs MF that came with their clay bar kit seems very soft and probably a better choice than some of the other ones I've bought over the years.

Hey man,
The one's that came with the Megs kit are probably ok. The best I have seen and used are the ones from Adams and Cobra ( which you can get from forum dealer Autogeek.net).

I made the switch this year to MF's.
I can recommend both the geek and ultramicrofiber.com.

I like the various ones from Griot's Garage. Waffle Weave for drying. White or Yellow for polish and wax. Blue for quick detailer.
They also have 100% cotton towels that I like using for polish and wax too. They are like baby diapers without the polyester or stitching.

Our Cobra towels are well regarded, and we offer specific offerings for each step in detailing.

If I recall correctly, the Zaino website still does not recommend using microfiber cloths on your car's finish...

ours are on sale for the weekend, and MF towels are safe for all waxes and sealants including Zaino, Rejex, and Pinnacle. Quite a bit softer than even 100% cotton towels which use hard polyester ribbing for ends and design patterns.

I use the Cobra towels from AG. I use their MF towel cleaning stuff and I can tell you they are soft. Softer than ANY cotton towels I have, including some very expensive Egyptian Cotton.

Poorboys towels are great. The ones with the satin trim are excellent for finishing work.
