Default Where to get the BEST Microfiber towels?

I placed my order yesterday with Autogeek for the pads, etc to use with the Porter Cable to so swirl clean-up, but I need some top quality Microfiber towels to remove polish and Zaino products. Autogeek recommended Cobra, but they are on back order. Any recomendations

I want good quality as the last thing I want to do is re-swirl the paint post polishing. Also, I plan to test the towels using the CD test (i.e. if you rub them on the surface of a CD-ROM and they don't scratch, they will not scratch your paint).

I agree the Cobra MF products are top-notch. THe Guzzler is highly recommended by a lot of detailing experts (which I am not).

On recommendation of a professional detailer of exotics, I use the DF Concourse All Natural MF towels, bonnets, mitts & applicators. They are worth every cent IMHO.

My absolute favorite is the Cobra Super Plush. PakShak makes awesome MF towels as well. I have a lot of Meguiar's Supreme Shine MFs that I use for everything around the car and they're great, too.

Scott,

Do you know if AG will offer the cobra deluxe jr. towels in the 6 pack deal like they do for the larger ones ?

Any idea when the larger cobra deluxe 6 packs will be back in stock ?

I have a bunch of them and wanted to add some more. They're great towels.

sorry ,, but missed this one completely. I do know we had a six pack of both towels combined. Best bet is to call Meghan, she can usually put something together for you. X-207

"Best" defined as most expensive?

Beats me.

But my 24/$10 BJs specials have passed the CD test with flying colors and have never caused any scratches on my C6. And I've frequently side lit the car with a shop light to check. So far not a scratch or swirl.

Default Guzzler towels really suck!!

I can say this, those Guzzlers the Geek sells really suck. They lift every spot of water off the car without being wrung out to dry. When I am done, they really don't feel wet. They hold a lot of water and are extremely soft.
If you can grab a few of those you will be very happy.
