part polyester towels make swirl marks?

Try the CD test with your towels.

I think most if not all micro fibers contain polyester. Not sure though. The MF from Meguiar's don't seem to scratch. I'm guessing here but any towel could scratch if enough pressure was exerted on the towel and paint surface.

Yep, most MF towels are made from a combination of Polyester, and Polyamide.

There are many levels of quality in towels, and the materials that they are made of....... make sure you pick the highest quality towels you can afford, and take care of them correctly.

Boss, as usual, is dead on in his assessment of MF towels.

Further, if I could add on to the 'take care of them correctly' statement...

Once you've taken care of them, be sure to store them in a clean environment. Personally, I have a few plastic drawer bins out in the garage that are used exclusively for my towel storage. I've found it to be, not only extremely handy, but extremely beneficial.

Just a few hints...

I have the generic "Baja Sol" mf towels from Target (sans tags). I've had no problems whatsoever with scratching.

I also keep them in a clean place after washing thoroughly.

I don't know about any other brands, but am considering buying the Costco brand mf towels. When I do, I'll add onto this post.
