I use both MF towels and Fieldcrest Charismas. Both work very well and I go back and forth, depending on my mood. Just be sure to deal with the folded ends of the Charismas.

For drying after a wash, MF's work much better, hands down. No lint, absorbs better and faster (no streaks and holds more water than cotton).

MicroFiber Towels... they have them at Pep Boys!
I tried my first MF towel today for removing Meguairs Yellow 26 Wax... I will never use the Royal Velvet Fieldcrest towel again for wax removal. No LINT!!!! LESS EFFORT!!! EASIER TO HOLD!!! CHEAPER TOO!!!

Try it out!!! :yesnod:

DarkMerc,

Congratulations. I'm glad you have discovered something new to detail your car with. MF's are pretty amazing, aren't they?

I don't mean to **** on your parade or anything, but I just thought I'd let you know that the quality of the MF towels is pretty important when it comes to marring your clearcoat. I know this isn't the best test, but you might want to rub your MF on a CD and look at it under the light from various angles and see if there is any marring. A lot of people at a different forum I frequent say that the Nicsand and TW MF towels marr their Zaino/Klasse coats and so they avoid them. The towels they swear by are the kind found at neatitems.com, yosteve.com, or properautocare.com.

I love MF's, but the only downside I can think of is that they tend to 'grab' your paint, especially when QDing. However, this is probably a testament to how well they absorb and scoop things up.
