i am using fibershine (local) and mysticmaid (japan). both are microfiber cloth and good in their own ways (and for different purposes).

 

fibershine - stamford tyres

mysticmaid - www.zedott.com (free delivery if you buy only the cloth)

I had bought those mysticmaid cloth and got to said they are quite good . The only thing I don't like about it is the size. Both the cleaning cloth and drying tower is too big for my liking, especially the drying cloth. The size make it hard to twist the water in the out effectively. But all in all, they are quite good (excpet for the size)

hi,

 

I have been using Meguiar's Ultimate Wipe on my ride. It good and price reasonable at $11.00. U can get it at any HomeFix DIY shop

[Tien]

actually... imho.... i think for drying use, the bigger the cloth the better hehehe cos can dry the car faster and hence lesser chance of watermark

 

maybe you wanna cut the cloth into half so that it is more to your liking?

[Steelblue]

One wwmf is enough to dry a car without any wringing. maybe you should flood rinse the car to get rid of as much water as possible, then fold the wwmf in half to make drying easier. try to just blot the paint (like after you drink, you pat your lips with tissue), instead of rubbing or dragging the wwmf across the surface (which is unnecessary as it's very absorbent)

I bought a polishing cloth. It looks like those bandage that u use when you sprained your leg. Actually how do we use the cloth? To bluf off wax?? Or use it with to wax the car?? Please advise...

[Steelblue]

Did you get the waffle weave towel or polishing clothes?

Here's a nice link http://www.bettercarcare.com/articles.php?articleId=44

No, its not the waffle weave towel. Its the polishing cloth.

Same as the autoglym one

Something like this..

So can we use it to bluf off the wax? Or what is the main application? Its has holes between the cloth and the salesperson says it can pick up particles and trap it inside the hole so it will not scratch the car. Don't know whether can we wash it and reuse.

alamak ... they are for polishing/buffing off. wax residues.. I bought it 01 yr back... very ex. and no good coz. it comes inherent with alot of loose lint.. my car is like 'feathered' all over with the lints...

[Steelblue]

I have the perfect polishing clothes from Autoglym, it's for fine polishing out scratches and it lints like crazy, I used it to buff off wax but it's not very good at that, furthermore it's not resusable...after washing it turns to..ummmm dono what shape coz some parts stretch. It's now in the storeroom collecting dust.One of my most disappointing purchase
