Drying with microfibre

**49er** · 01-21-2005, 03:33 PM

I was watching the Barret auto auction on television. Someone was wiping a blue ferrari that sold for 75k with a blue microfibre rag, he did the exaust and the plastic bumper then some of the quarter panel. Is it alright to wipe dust, fiinger prints with a cheap blue microfibre towel on painted surfaces? I thought microfibre scratches paint and should be used on glass or chrome.

Quite the contrary, microfiber is one of your best friends.

No. Microfiber is one of the safer things to use on your car, permitting it`s clean. As long as you haven`t dropped it and you are using a quick detailer or water spray, it`s perfectly fine. Also, don`t wipe the exhaust and then the paint with the same towel

I would not use a WalMart MF on my paint, those things suck big time.

Maybe I should be more specific. WalMart`s 6 pack bundle (3 white/3 blue) about $4.88.

sonus waffle weave mf: AKA, ultimate drying towel. It works great and doesn`t scratch your paint

Once you use quality MF you won`t use anything else.

I have probably 300 MF products. From Pakshak to Autopia to Autogeek. I can`t even remember all the places I purchased from. I would not waste a good MF on my engine compartment or other grungy jobs. There is no point to it. The cheap ones work fine in those areas. On my paint thats a different story.

Of the 300 MF you have which one do you rate the best?

Of the ones I have it`s a tie for top spot between the Pakshak Yellow Ultra Fine and the Sonus Buffing Towel from Autopia Store.

Pakshak`s White Ultra Fine is also excellent, it`s a close second.

Pakshak has some new MF. Ultra Plush and Ultra Plush Plus. I haven`t purchased any yet or heard too much about them. You might want to check them out as well when you order your Ultra Fine. All my towels from Pahshak are excellent you really can`t go wrong with Ranney`s products.
