I can't stand to touch microfiber. Just looking at it gives me chills. I get the same reaction as I would just thinking of someone biting on foil. I even tried using gloves to touch the stuff, and I just can't do it. Is there "better" microfiber to touch then the ones you buy in Target or is it all the same? Is there anything else that is "safe" to use?

Re: I Hate Microfiber
Microfiber is available in different grades. I have some that I use for utility use that are the Target/auto part store grade. Then we have the better ones for use on the outside of the cars. The fibers themselves are more dense on the back and a little longer in length.

Re: I Hate Microfiber
ALL microfiber are not created equal that's for sure (plushness/pile, softness, nap, size, edging, etc). The yellow vroom microfiber drying towel are very sticky, and I got a few of the smaller version on clearance a while back and they linted like crazy (i re-washed them to no avail). I wouldn't buy them even if they were on clearance again.

Re: I Hate Microfiber
The sticky is actually a good thing as it "grabs" at polishes and waxes better. If you ever had experience with fighting against the oils left over from waxing you would know that shorter nap is best for initial removal of the wax.
If you want the non grip feeling, pick up some long nap towels. Just keep in mind that some do not do much in terms of removing product, instead, they work great to burnish the paint after the initial wax removal. Heck, they're great with QDs as well since the dust gets trapped between the long fibersHello, I am Isaac

Re: I Hate Microfiber
I know exactly what you mean. When my hands are dry, it makes my skin crawl. Weird, I know.
I haven't had the same issue with Megs MF though. Not that it's soft or plush, just not nearly as abrasive (?) as others. I guess some of the cheaper stuff is the only problem.-Scott
