First, you should never touch a dirty car with a towel, be it clean or dirty. Only touch a clean car with a clean towel. And even then you need to be careful.
To determine whether a towel is safe for use on your clean paint, use the open palm method. Drag the towel across your open palm. If you feel it catch on your skin, do not use it on your paint. It should be relegated to cleaning plastic/vinyl trim or other surfaces that are not as delicate as your paint. FWIW, pretty much every towel you buy from auto parts stores or other retail store is not going to pass this test. The Rag Company's Eagle Blue or Orange is a good example of an acceptable towel.

I would never touch my Z with a grout sponge. Scratch city
I used to use very high quality (and very expensive) waffle weave towels to dry my Z. The leaf blower I purchased a few weeks ago cost less than two of those towels.
