Best microfiber/cotton towels?
Alright, I have heard a lot of talk of what to use to dry and polish your car. Many people say use microfiber but only from Korea, while others say use a soft cotton towel. So what is the best and where can you buy it? I am guessing everything can put light scratches or swirl marks depending on how you use it.

I got some microfiber towels from Adam's and I have to say they are fantastic.

I have been using Adam's microfiber towels for about three months and I am very pleased with them.

You don't have to worry about scratches on your skin after using a crappy towel!

I don't use ANY towels to dry my vehicles any more. When I get done washing the cars, I immediately get the leaf blower out , and blow them dry. The less you touch your paint, the better off your paint will be. Note; If you have a electric leaf blower, MAKE SURE there's no water around your car.LOL

After I get it rinsed off, I take the spray nozzle off, turn the water back on, and flood the car with water. This helps to create bigger patches of water, and a lot of it just rolls off on it's on,= less blow drying.

I have an awesome leaf blower but the air isn't filtered, I'm afraid that it will suck up something and hurl it at my car.
