Microfiber recommendations

Make sure you care for them properly as well. Use microfiber specific detergent and make sure you don't use fabric softener in the dryer. Low heat on the dryer.

The Griot's Microfiber Cleaner solution actually recommends you just use normal laundry detergent along with their solution. Just make sure the laundry detergent doesn't have any fabric softener in it already and don't add any separately either. I use regular Tide and a few oz of Griot's solution in hot water for the wash cycle, and then I line dry.

Default Oh the options...

Well the ones from Walmart were actually more plush and soft than some that ended up costing me more. They seem to do just fine. I realize not all microfiber towels are the same so what specific qualities do you look for?

I've had all types, and the ones from chemical guys and detailers domain are far superior. You just need to look at them side by side. If you buy a bunch, chemical guys gets pretty cheap.

I just wanted to chime in here. I recently purchased some Chinchilla Microfiber towels. They're the best microfiber towel I've used yet, but I don't have a wealth of experience with the variety of towels that others do. It is more expensive, but I feel it's worth the extra cost.

No need to buy those "over-priced" microfiber clothes from those brand name detailers. I have been using 3M one for all kinda purposes from interior cleaning to wax applying. You can get those for $3.99 at the cleaning section at Target. Very good quality fabric and they last forever.

Uber towels are amazing from detailers domain. Much more budget friendly than adams.
