Finish off with large wool buffing pad to make the shine blind you!

Good luck!
Hi, Brucelee! I glad that someone has had good luck with microfiber towels.

FWIW, I tried microfibers on my old C43 (black) and my wife's 325i (also black) for washing, drying, and applying Klasse. The microfibers always left small scratch patterns, especially on the Bimmer. I don't know about the quality of the microfiber towels I purchased, but I purchased them from the Klasse rep. at the San Francisco Import Auto Show! The scratching was so bad that the microfibers now are only used to clean the cars' glass windows.

Now, I wash and dry the cars with well used, well washed, 100% cotton bath towels and use old cotton t-shirts to apply and buff the Klasse. No swirl or scratch problems! The towels and t-shirts are washed between use.

Removing excess Klasse: I asked the Klasse rep. about this and he mentioned that he had a special product he would sell me to remove the excess sealent. It looked and smelled like well diluted all-in-one or sealant. Back at home I filled a spray bottle with plain water and lightly sprayed the Klasse build-up. After buffing lightly with a t-shirt the shine looked great.

FWIW...
