Webba Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I use only 100% cotton, Made in the USA. I use Zaino and they only recommend these towels. They say you have to be carful with non made in the USA or microfiber as they can scratch. So I guess its up to you. I cant stand anything made in China and only reason I would go to Walmart is to leave an explosive device...KIDDING FBI AGENTS SECRETLY SPYING ON US I buy mine at Bed Bath Beyond. I have a shelf in the laundry room just for these and no one is allowed to use them for anything else. Yep Im the towel Nazi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywickedshelby Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 same as Webba for me, 100% cotton made in the USA only. I read (somewhere) that the quality control is so lame in China, where many cotton & microfiber towels come from, that you can buy the same exact brand name and the quality is not consistant lot to lot, batch to batch. One will be fine, the next will scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they poisoned a few of our dogs and put lead paint on some toys (OK, and maybe a little GHB here and there), and that's a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump_breaker Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Microfiber from wally world. Comes in a 12 pack and is white on one side and blue on the other. Never use terry cloth on a black car. Even though you can't see it happening it scratches. Don't believe me? Park under fluorescent lights where the sun can't get to your car.

07shelbygt109 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I use cotton polishing rags from the local parts house. I don't remember the brand but they are extremely soft and remind me of cloth diapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I forgot to mention I buy big bath towels. I just fold it in thrids and use it to wipde the car down after washing. Then I use it to buff off the polish. For applying the polish i Use the pads that came with the Zaino kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuLu Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Retired Hanes tee shirts with all hems cut off. As soft as a baby's azz. But, just like engine oil and wax treatments, some of y'all can't wait to spend your money on what you believe is better just because it's more expensive.

Reino Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Microfiber from wally world. Comes in a 12 pack and is white on one side and blue on the other. I use the same thing. Sorry LuLu but I think I paid a whole 5 or 6 bucks for these. I too am the towel Nazi of my Reich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur with ya LULU You and I think alike,including torque verses horsepower lol. Do me a favor LuLu,explain to my wifey that her car/injun is a spinner motor Unrelated to this thread,but throwin it out there,gonna have the wifey wait till 20,000-30,000 miles,before using synthetic blends. That's also "assuming" it won't void Fords/factory warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdear Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Thanks guys.... I know there is alot of controversy on it......some sites say only 100% cotton towels (usa) , and others expensive microfiber. I do have a few of the expensive microfiber..and do see a difference from when i use less expensive ones.., but all of mine are getting old and need to be replaced. Just trying to get a variety of opinions :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
