I'm coming to the conclusion that dirt and grit are the real enemies. I just got a bunch more towels (I've got about 25 now - one 3 pack of expensive MF, the rest cotton and MF from Dollar General). I use correct polishing towels (only) for polishing. But with buffing - the cotton and microfibers seem about the same. I use LOTS of towels 3-4 (or more) to remove the wax from the boxster. Any part of the towel touches the floor - it's goes to the washing machine. ALL towels go in the wash after each cleaning, one use - then wash. All of those dried wax/polish particles that get picked up by the towel can't be good for the finish. I use a separate sponge and old wash cloth for the wheels & lower dirty stuff (do the wheels first).
A clean drying cloth also a must.
Just got the PC, will use to apply polish/wax. Will probably continue to remove with towels, lots of clean towels. Wipe a section, flip it over, wipe a section, toss the towel in the wash box.
