Reuse and recycle to keep the paint looking like new

There is nothing worse for those who go to great lengths to keep their car looking like new. The more disgusting twists! Well, because they're so cheap, always use a new one - this is one of the few steps needed to avoid this. Step 1 is to always use good quality microfiber towels. Griots and Kevian Klin are two. that I use. They absorb a lot more wax and moisture and more importantly they are very soft and never leave frizz. (You'll need to take care of them, as all microfibers are dirt magnets, so keeping them out of the way is important.) No matter what swirls occur, these steps will greatly reduce them. The more you polish your car, the more swirls you will see, so this is very important. Now any true handyman knows that at some point you'll have to use a polishing paste to get rid of all those swirls. This only needs to be done a few times in the life of the car and it's done right every time. The clear coat looks new and shiny. It's all about keeping your pads fresh, and clean, high-quality microfiber towels make swirls a lot less of a concern than they might be. Example: If you simply buy a cheaper microfiber like Walmwrt that comes in multi-colored packaging and is labeled as premium microfiber (no, it's nothing else), your car will get scratched. Microfiber is not pure cotton it is a plastic base and cheaper ones like this are not common enough and can scratch your clear coat. Migrofiber is rated to the GSM standard and 400GSM is usually the minimum for premium towels. Meguires, the so-called Premium, don't have a good GSM rating either, but they're at least soft enough not to scratch. So I use them wet or wet for application and use good ones for removal be it polish, quick wax or detailing spray.
