Re: Microfiber (THXBABY)
Occasionally I use microfiber with Z6, but I still prefer cotton towels for the drying and wax and/or Zaino removal. I find MF towels are best suited to windows. I got them from http://www.properautocare.com :seeya

Re: Microfiber (THXBABY)
Here's a link to a thread I started several weeks ago regarding microfiber towels. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=463749
I've used them for a long time on windows. I'm now starting to use them to remove wax from my daily driver and Zaino from my vette with good results. :cheers:

It took me some time to absorb the whole thread. I really wish that I had seen it before. Some times a thread will have good info and some times not so good. This one I would say was about 25% good the rest of it you can put in the shredder!
I plan to give the MF a try.
Thanks for the info.
You have a great day! :steering:

Re: Microfiber (THXBABY)
I have been using quality microfiber on my car for the past 2 years now. :yesnod: I purchase mine from pakshak.com. If you join the detailing site, Autopia.org, you are entitled to purchase the 16x16 MF towels at $2.00 each plus shipping, from Ranney at pakshak.com.
Customer service is great and the towels are excellent in quality. I know that there are many different opinions in regard to microfiber; the key is choosing the appropriate towels for the job. Not all microfiber is created equal, so it's important to educate yourself when purchasing them.

Re: Microfiber (THXBABY)
I've been using a MF Drying Towel (25"x35") from Giriot's Garage on my '90 since last summer. Does a great job and there's no sign of any problems on the black finish. Try http://www.griotsgarage.com for more information. It costs $26.95 but I think it's well worth it.

Re: Microfiber (THXBABY)
I used mf once. I used Charisma towels to bring up the shine and finished with mf towel off. It produced a finish that IMO was "The next step." I'm very pleased. :yesnod:

I use both , 100% cotton Fieldcrest and Microfiber], but I prefer Microfiber for taking Zaino off. However, the Fieldcrest Charisma's feel great after I get out of the shower!! :D

I've got a bunch from the Pakster myself. I also recently tried out his 24x24 sized MF towels and they're fantastic!
BTW, I believe Ranney's offering free shipping now. Can't get much better than that!

Re: Microfiber (ThumperAC)
Yes, ThumperAC, you can still purchase the towels at the discounted price. Just contact Ranney via email at http://www.PakShak.com and tell him that you are a registered Autopia member (provide your screen name) and that you would like to purchase the towels at the Autopia discount.
His service is great and they are a very nice towel for the money. I've had zero problems with the PakShak towels. Hope you like them as well. :)
