It depends on what you are going to be using the towels for; removing/buffing polish/wax, Quick Detailing, drying your car after a wash, cleaning your glass?
For removing/buffing polish and/or wax and quick detailing you want a soft, plush terry towel with a long fiber that will safely pick up the residue and not push it around.
The comparable towel that I sell is the Pro Detailing Towel.
The DFTowel also works good for these jobs.
For drying your car, you want a larger more absorbent towel, most people prefer waffle-weave towels (named so because of their waffle looking appearance). They tend to hold the water better than terry towels.
This would be our Maximum Drying Towel .
For glass you want an absorbent towel without a long fiber so that it doesn't leave lint or streaks.
This would be our Ultimate Glass Towel .
Of course there are many places from which you can buy microfiber, but not all microfiber is the same. I have added the links so that you can see the difference in the various towels so that you can make a more informed decision. Make sure that the towels you are using on your paint are soft so that you do not cause any damage.
Hope this helps,
Ian

I know youve gotten input from 2 towel vendors but I'll just add from a users standpoint. I am constantly trying new towels. I have collected several hundreds of dollars worth of towels.I have many that range in price from about 75 cents to 8 bucks each. None of them are bad towels. Some are certainly better suited for some work more than others. Use a little common sense when choosing a towel. Price doesnt tell the whole story either. Just because a towel costs more to manufacture or costs more to the buyer,doesnt mean it will be the best suited for every use. Cheap towels are great when you dont want to ruin a more expensive towel doing grunge work,but may be too rough for final finish. Extremely soft towels may be great as final towels but may not work well for product removal. So far,my all around favorite MF is the Miracle Towel. That very well might change though. I just received 2 different towels from Steve at Poorboy's today. Both appear to be very good quality and look very promising. Im anxious to test drive them both.
NozeBleedSpeed probably has more experience than I do. But my rule of thumb is that price *does* matter. The cheap microfibers I can buy at discount stores (WalMart, etc.) are generally only suitable for door jambs, wheels, etc. The good MFs (PakShak, Poorboy, MFTech, etc.) are suitable for use on my paint. The only way you'll know the difference if to buy a couple of really good microfibers from some upscale distributors; then, when you feel the cheap ones, you'll just FEEL the difference. :up
