I am the proud owner of a new 2003 Black/Black S2K and want to take proper care of the finish and keep it looking show room clean or better.

I have been looking for microfiber towels at my local Autozone and detail shops and seem to find at least two different textures.

One microfiber towel texture is similar to a normal terry cloth towel with a nap-like texture.

The other is a smoother texture almost like an Oakley sunglasses bag or sunglass cleaning rag.

Is one better than the other? Do they have different uses?

Thanks for your help.

The smoother texture I only use on my glass.

Check out www.pakshak.com

He has some great MF towels.

I heard your local Costco has some pretty decent MF towels.
Haven't checked for myself though.

Different textures for different uses. The smooth towels are good for glass and chrome. A looped fiber workes well for applying vinyl treatment and wiping down wheels. The plush fluffy towels work well for removing wax and detailing spray. A waffle weave towel is for drying the car.

and do avoid the cheap ones . . . unless you have knowledge of someone who has used them

try to avoid made in china . . . and go with korean (no concers generally from there)

I'll second the Pakshak recommendation !

I use them for removing wax, drying the car after washing, removing spray detailer, cleaning windows, and removing dust from the dash board. Simply a great towel for the price !

When I bought my S2000(MY2001), I started using Microfiber towels on day one. I've never used a cotton towel on the painted surface of my car and don't have any swirl marks.
