AlBoston,

I've been following your detailing knowledge and have a question regarding the microfiber towel. Are you getting them directly from microfibertech? Or is there a cheaper source. Also, which towel do you use? The terry towel or the waffle weave?The big grey or big blue? lol

Thanks for your time!
