For removing wax/glase/sealants I've been using the eShine The Cookie Monster Buffing Towel, it's very soft. The Tornado Buffing Towel
are quite nice too.

For removing polish I use some yellow MF towels they are quite nice.

For drying towels I use WW The Dehydrator Drying Towel....but what I normaly do is I use my air compresor to remove as much water as I can from the vehicle and then dry off what ever is left with the WW towel.

That's just my

Personally, I love the CG Waffle Weave towel (the blue one) for drying and for the buffing I enjoy using the yellow/black MF they sell.

The nicest (most plush) MF towels I have are a free one that PakShak sent to me (it is MUCH nicer then a cobra JR), and the blu-velvet towels from carecareonline.com
