theres a few different types. Dont get the crappy walmart ones under the automotive section they feel very harsh in my hands. When you want a 100% cotton towel it has to feel soft to the touch aka a real nice bath towel. Those terry cotton towels at the automtive section feel like crap and are very hard.

I just bought 2 of these (wich means 6 total) and they are the softes towels i ever felt.
Zaino Blonde Borderfree Towel: 3 pack: Zaino Store
They are kind of small at 16x16 but for my needs of polish removal, applying spray on polish they work great.
For quick drying after leaf blower i just use a big normal 100% cotton towel i bought from the bath section at walmart.

Q: Are Micro-Fiber products safe to use?

A: Zaino has been testing various Micro-Fiber products. Unfortunately, the jury is still out on them. Some of them are excellent and do not scratch. Others are terrible and definitely scratch. The quality control of these products from overseas, especially Korea, is not consistent, so you never know if they will be the same scratch-free quality. Even when using the same brand, we found the quality to be inconsistent. For now, we do not recommend using them. However, lab testing is ongoing, and we will post an update when we have more conclusive results.

NOTE: If you are already using microfiber towels, look carefully at your paint finish under flourescent light when you are using your towels. If you are not getting any swirls or fine scratches from the microfiber towels, then you are okay and can continue to use them. Remember it's better to be safe than swirly.

Those towels produce no scratching whatsoever even when they are freshly washed and cleaned?

The towels from zaino are so soft, they are softer than toilet paper.
They are so soft you just want to rub them on your face.
They are so soft that i have not felt any thing as soft as them in a long time.

You getting my point? the towel it self is not capable of scratching the car.
If it has debri's in it then it could but so could any towel.

Your microfiber towel is a gamble on is it quality or is it not.

As for wash mitt i have been testing with a microfiber wash mitt from walmart verses my old cotton one. I think its okay so far i have not seen increased tiny scratches yet. but its still on going i dont know yet if its good.
