I picked up a micro-fiber detailing towel from Mcguires. It says on the tag it is a polyester blend and it feels really soft. I was wondering if these types of towels are a good idea for removing polish/wax or if I should just stick to the 100% cotton. What do you guys use? I haven't seen a direct comparison between these two types of towels so I was just curious about everyones input. I've noticed some superficial scratches/swirls. I'm pretty sure micro-scratches are unavoidable if you touch the paint with anything...only thing I think you can do is try to minimize them. Orbital polisher time perhaps?
