If you're looking to get some fresh towels for spring and summer detailing, I'd highly recommend looking at some of the Griots PFM towels. Specifically the drying towels and the glass towels. When I started detailing in 2011-2012, I bought a lot of Griots stuff because their catalog and website made the process pretty easy. They had a product dedicated to each task. I didn't have to shop around and try to find the best brand for everything. As time went on, I started buying more from other companies, since there truly were better products out there than what Griots was putting out. Recently, after watching some AutoFanatic videos on YouTube I decided to put some in an Amazon order. I was pretty blown away by the drying towel. Leaves very few streaks, if any. Really it's best to do the initial drying pass with one and then follow up with a second towel to eliminate any small streaks. Glass towels are very similar. They're a great size, have different textures on each side, one for the initial wipe and the other for the final wipe. When paired with the Griots glass cleaner, it's fantastic. I cannot comment on the longevity of the towels since I've maybe used the PFM towels 4x since I got them (my 997 was in storage all winter and I don't hand wash my daily driver during winter).
It's actually sort of frustrating that I purchased a full microfiber kit late last year after I bought the PFM towels, but I had only used the PFM towels one time. I now have a bunch of fresh microfibers that I'll use up first before I go and fill my towel collection with the PFM towels.
Figured this would help someone since finding good microfibers is never easy. The PFM towels are expensive, but if detailing is more of a therapy to you than just getting a clean car, I think the ease of us justifies the cost.
This is helpful. I'm struggling to find a great glass towel for use with foaming glass cleaner. I love their Best of Show liquid and use it every day.
Something I've found helpful, especially on interior glass/windshields, is to use a Gyeon Silk Mitt. It's made from the same twisted-loop material as Griots PFM's/Gyeon Silk Dryer towels and the mitt format makes it easy to clean glass without towel bunching and flopping that sometimes happens with towels when getting in tight spaces. A quick mist of glass cleaner on one side, clean half of windshield, flip of the wrist to get clean side on glass for final buff and done.
Before I went to air drying, the Griots PFM's or the Gyeon Silk Dryers were the towels of choice. Can get a bit big and bulky but amazing how much water they can suck up and hold.
