If you're happy with what you're doing, then do it. No need to justify it to me or anybody else. If you find what you're doing acceptable, then hooray!

Personally I'm the type that likes to learn about new things. I had my eyes opened to something as simple as microfiber cloths. I'm always willing to admit that there are better ways to do things than what I'm currently doing, no matter how long I've done it.

I have learned, though, that more expensive isn't always better. The towels that failed me in my original post were NOT cheap. I was glad that the autozone crappy towels I had were able to fix my issue. BUT, since I ordered the Boa towels, I will probably save the AutoZone ones for under the hood, or grimey jobs.
Nice post.

The BOA's are one of the FEW of MANY towels I've tried that will not scratch your paint. You can use them for polish removal, quick detailing, etc. I save them for paint. The nap isn't too long or too short, it's perfect. Very soft and high quality Korean microfiber!

And well priced for its quality.. That's what I am getting for my polish/sealant and wax removal.

You're the one that keeps offering to compare and beat anyone else's clear coat here.

Oh boy, you again. Yea I would compare my Camaro to anyone's including yours. As ive said ive detailed cars for 35 years+ so I feel I know what I am doing and has always worked for me. Do I know everything?, No. Ive learned alot here and have made changes accordingly. I am always open to suggestions, new ideas etc but I dont feel the need to banter back and forth with someone who most likely hasnt been out diapers for longer than I have had the wonderful opportunity to own all brands of Muscle Cars. You can go to sleep now young'en.

Do you have anything interesting or informative to say on this topic? If not, how about you just move along. No need to get worked up over any of this. Relax. It'll be okay.

Okay. Continue to act like an idiot if that's how you get off. I'll just block you. Problem solved.
