What a crazy week. I thought I already posted this but I must have not clicked submit. Anyways, just hired someone at work, spent all last week training her, and this week she came into work sick. Low and behold she tested positive for the coodies. I am awaiting my results, and if they are negative I am going to my in-laws tomorrow to ceramic coat my car. During the chaos I forgot to order microfiber towels to buff off ceramic coating. Does anyone know if any of the local stores and shops sell good high GSM microfiber towels? Thank you in advance!

If it is a true ceramic coating and not a spray sealant, you are probably going to want to either throw the towels out afterwards, or just use them in the future for cleaning wheels and dirty jobs and such. Go as cheap as you can without buying garbage. I know Jimbo from Auto Detailing Podcast is a fan of the Kirkland yellow towels you can get at Costco. And, you likely will want a lower GSM towel for removing excess coating material. High GSM towels are usually too fluffy and linty when used for that purpose.
