Personally i would just use any Microfibers...I've looks at brand names and all of them feels or looks the same. I don't know...maybe the quality in the long run....who knows... I would just get a MF washmits...any brand would do....just get one you feel great touching

Excel, Pakshak, Danase towels are fine.

Exceldetail.com
pakshak.com
danase.com

I don't know what kind of MF you have out there in the HK.

I can recommend Pakshak.com - good quality towels at a decent price. Get waffle weave micro-fiber (MF) for soaking up the rinse water on the first pass, then a plush MF for the final pass.

+1 on D-Rock's point. Some years ago I bought some el cheapo MF towels and began to use them. It was some time later that I learned of the CD Test and performed it on my my towels. Holy s**t, Batman - scratches galore on the CD. Fortunately that was 2 cars ago and I've since changed to only quality MF and now don't even perform the CD test as I know they are scratch resistant.

Quality in my experience makes a huge difference and I only buy from the reputable online retailers previously mentioned. I should mention my first orders were with Wayne Recla at Wayne's Towels and his are still going strong for me!
