rpretzel Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Do not use microfiber towels period. Use 100% cotton USA made bath towels, trimmed of binding. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntsck Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Why? Clearcoat scratches. Everytime I hear a microfiber user say they don't scratch, I look at their paint with some sun reflection and see hundreds of hairline scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnut Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Do not use microfiber towels period. Use 100% cotton USA made bath towels, trimmed of binding. Easier said than done. I have hunted and hunted for these babies and no one seems to carry genuine made in the USA towels anymore. Do you have a source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is black. The bodyshop paint guy said he'd never seen a better black paint job. No streaks after I dry the car and no scratches when I polish. Just my 2c.

GT500KR Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hey, they're building one of those stores right by my house. I wonder which I'll have first, the towels or the car? I look at those towels at thier store, says Made in USA but it also says Fabric from Brazil. 100% cotton though. Is there a difference in USA cotton and other countries cotton? I have no idea.BTW I just bought two towels (handtowels) the color is just like my car(really close) I couldn't pass them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
