I am gonna order that towel u gave me the link for right now. Only I just wanna know one thing, why do they say its not as soft as the smaller one? Will that still be fine for a black car?
Here is what I would do... buy both. Use the blue one first to get most of the water, then the gray one to buff off the rest. The gray one is soft but doesnt hold as much water as the blue one; however, it is very easy on the paint when buffing.

no problem. Let us know how you like them.

Make sure you remove the tags!!! use a utility knife and cut it as close to the seam as possible! or else get scratch city.

I have been using Microfibertech Elite towels and will use nothing else, your right on the blue, can dry the whole car. I also use their wash mit, does a great job. In fact i bought their complete car kit I am sold.

I just purchased both towels as well. Thanks AlBoston, I'll let you know how it works out for me. One last question, car is brand new (5 months old) and the leather is starting to get this really slight creases in it. Do u recommend Leatherique? Or something else? Thanks.

Zaino Z10 and Zaino Z9 are a great alternative, easier to use, and cheaper. I have excellent results with both!
