Default Towels

What kind of towels do you'll use to dry your car? and where to buy them from?
Thanks.

This is a no brainer in my opinion. I use waffle weave microfibers from Autogeek. The green ones from Cobra are amazing. After the low flow water treatment that sheets water across the car, followed by a blow-dry with the leaf blower, there's so little water that one-half of my waffle weave (I cut mine in half) barely gets wet by the time the car's dry. If you're a student of the swirl, you will not use anything but high quality MF's and soft, soft cotton towels on your car. The MF's are more absorbent for water (I still usually use ralph lauren cotton towels with quick detailers).

Have to agree. Love the Cobra WW Micros and can't beat the Geek! Sounds like a slogan in there somewhere?
