Best Drying Towel I've used.

RR, now that we've established that a higher-grade microfiber is needed, would that WWMF towel listed in that link be a good option? It is listed under "drying towels" and claims to be 100% scratch free...If it really is scratch free, I might buy that one since I've never had anything soak up water like a WWMF, albeit a low-grade one (I've only used it twice and haven't used it at all since this thread btw).

I also use the superflys for QD and for product removal. I use the **** Rag for LSP removal only.
I use bulk from ADS for wheels and glass. They never touch paint.

Personally, I like the Superfly's....the bigger ones are great. Using the "water shed" method you can dry your entire truck with 2 maybe 3 of them.

I have been using the big blue ww's from proper auto care for several years now and have been pretty happy. However, they were causing some marring even while using during ONR. So I picked up 18 superfly's (9 of each color). First thing I noticed is that these towels seem to grab the paint, making a little harder to wipe dry washing with ONR. I know it isn't my LSP, because I just put 2 coats of BFWD on my wife's car. However, once they got moist, didn't have hardly any problems.
On my truck, it takes 4 towels to dry it while using ONR. So far, I'm pretty happy with them. I have used them 4 times so far. I like the the low nap side while drying the windows, seem to work really well. In areas where I applied some pressure to remove a bug stain or water drip line, they didn't mar which occurs with the ww's I was using.
Caution tho when washing them for the first couple times, the dye color will bleed off so wash them by themselves.

I've tried all of those, including the pre-release versions given out at car shows by Megs, and ultimately after testing them, we use them to mop up spills in the house, and still after 40+ years only use large doubled up cotton diapers for drying our cars- cheesecloth or flannel for removing wax/polish (bulk bought at the fabric stores for about $5 a yard).and have found that nothing beats em, no synthetic, no special cotton folded car specific designed towel, etc. our vehicles included:
1932 Ford, lacquer midnight blue paint (in the family since 1950's)
1965 mustang, midnight metallic blue urethane (Ditzler Murathane) single stage (2 gallons worth) (in the family since new)
1987 Toyota Cellica GT (enamel- gloss black) sold in 1997
1974 Datsun p/u- midnight metallic blue (enamel, BB/CC), featured in Truckin Magazine- early 80's
Honda Civic CVCC,gloss black (Mercedes) enamel, single stage
1997 Cougar Sport (gloss black laytex)
1990 F150, bright regatta blue, laytex, repainted BB/CC urethane (sold in 2006)
2006 Mark LT, wine-color metallic, laytex

As long as the towel is clean before using (as with any MF towel) it has worked well for me.
I also frequently inspect my MF towel during use to make sure I didn't pick up any dirt.
