Default Microfiber Towel Recommendations

Who sells good microfiber towels? Got some from Wal mart, they don't look too good to me, afraid to use them!

Almost all of the Zaino Distributors sell DF Towels because of uncompromising quality. I have spent a ton of time researching MF products and the DF Towels rise to the top of the list.
The warehouse towels are very spotty in the quality department. I have purchased 4 batches, at different times from the local Cost&@ and one batch was good, one was horrible, and the other 2 had intermittent results. The test was made by rubbing a CD with medium pressure, especially testing the edging.
Inexpensive towels are just that, and not all MF towels are equal.

Use them and nothing else. Bought two 6 sq ft blue towels from Wal Mart and used them only to dry....Excellent...I bought 2 packages, containing 3 in each package from Corvettes of Houston. Use two to wipe off wax. one for my tires only, one for Armor All only, and the other two use for general wipe down at the end of the day.

As far as microfiber for "buffing" goes, there is no better than the DF Towels. :)

I used DF towels for the first time this weekend. Very soft and absorbent. They are a little expensive but I liked them a lot. http://www.dftowel.com/

I bought the big pack at COSTCO/Priceclub. They worked great on my AE. Which we all know has one of the softest clear coats. Try them on a CD first, if there are no scratches then go for it! MF towels make my 100% Cotton towels seem obsolete!

I tried out my DF towels for the first time this weekend for wiping off Zaino.

Great! It feels like fine silk sliding across the finish. The medium is the perfect size in my opinion for wiping.

Later,
JU
