    Where to get automotive towels?

    I'm looking for a product that we had in the very past and can't figure out what was it's name or general name. You wash the car thenn proceed to dry it, but if it's waxed-polished you don't want to use regular cloth/towel to dry it the body unles you don't care the lil scratches that are left on the paint witht he help of the sun light reflective that ou can see, you want a special towel that doesn't scratch after being aplied.

    Brands? Models?

    Any input much appreciated.

    Microfiber? is that what you're thinking of? A good, clean cotton towel shouldn't scratch paint either. Try Griots Garage for detailing stuff.

      We had a syntethic towel for that it was smooth , dry fast and doesn't leave any lil scrath. Microfiber must the main stuff behind of this.

          chamois/shamie is only for drying though, right?

                No Costco here, Acee Home Center only and doesn't carry that.

                You see the bag it has a pciture of a yellow towel, I think that's the material I had in the past and worked awesome.

                    Figure out how much it would cost to mail to Peru and I'll pick up up a few packages. The price has gone up a bit but it's still the cheapest way to get microfiber towels.

                          ShamWow! cloths was, dry, and polish any surface. They are like a towel, chamois, and sponge all in one--except they're extremely asobent and can be used over and over.

                              I have some Shamwows. They work great, I still prefer real leather chamois though. I love that smell. My little sister suckered me into getting the Shamwows at the county fair. She told me they were German so I had to. (Little 10 year old can identify M30s and M50s starting up by sound.)
