Here's the link !

Microfiber towels will not create swirl marks.

Here's another link to a quality vs. cost winner, Pakshak.

I use the Pakshak towels. I have about 30 16x16 towles and 12 of the 24x24 towels. The 24x24 towels are great for drying the car and a better value then 'Big Blue'.

I use that to dry my car. It is the greatest thing ever, 1 towel will dry the entire car perfectly. Its a shame they are backordered, as I want to order a few more.

If dirty gets under the blade won't that scratch the paint? Do you go over the car with the blade then take the big blue and get the rest?

yup, the car must be clean and the blade too... i am very careful about where the blade is set down, and rinse it before using it.
i do a very quick "blading" of the car. just to get the water off of the larger surfaces.
big blue is such a great towel that you could do this without the blade- but i like using the blade since it takes off a lot of the water.

i use the Italian blow drier. Get on the freeway and nail it. Don't let up until you have no more water on the back window. Just kidding that would never happen. I have had mine wide open and the water on the back window doesn't come off.
