"Oh, I need some leather cleaner and a few towels." Buys $300 of polish, wax, pads and gadgets.

After that, I'll do the door jambs, smaller nooks, hatch gutters, windows and chase spots I miss or generate while doing this with general purpose cheaper microfibers, things like these from Amazon: Amazon.com: Eurow Microfiber 16 x 16in Premium 350 GSM Cleaning Towels 25-Pack (Yellow): Automotive. I'll save these black ones for rims/wheels and other nastier spots, usually 1 per wheel: Eurow Microfiber Premium 12 x 12in 350 GSM Cleaning Towels Black - 25 Pack : Amazon.com : Automotive

To me, this is still a lot of time and wiping towels on my paint and chasing streaks around the car. Hence my earlier thread on cordless leaf blowers or other drying tools.

Lastly, always wash your microfibers before first use!
