Ok, dumb question time:
I have an Absorber too and love it. What's the advantage of microfiber over a shammy? Is the shammy more likely to damage my paint?

I do wash my Absorber out after each use to make sure it doesn't have contaminants on it and I've never noticed any ill effects on my cars.

The shamwow/absorber does not have any fibers for debris to go into to protect the paint if there's any dirt particles left on the surface while drying.

Yes, this will cause fine scratches and swirls. Microfibers from Costco are amazing for the price.

Washing and upkeep is important too don't forget everyone! I hae had the best success with Micro Restore. My edgeless towels and other thick pile towels love it. Removes ONR stains too which is nice.

I use Rag Co. Minx and Pluffle pretty much exclusively. I have tried their others, but keep reaching for those 2 all the time.

The giant pluffles (20x40 or something) are fantastic for drying.

Me too, really like the Giant Pluffles and 16 x 23” as well as the Eagle Edgeless 350 for door jambs and wheels. Waffle weaves work good on the glass too.

I was fascinated with m.f. cloth and why some are better. I found out why. Look for the ones that grab onto roughness of your hand. Chances are the fibres of those look like asterisks if the ends are examined under a microscope, hence their surface area is huge compared with the plain fibres. Would really like to know how they make them.
