Got my stuff from http://www.pakshak.com

I use their big blue towel to dry the car. It works excellent. I got one of their packages that cost me about $50 with an assortment of different towels. I have yet to use all of them, but have used the big blue multiple times. I've used a few of the small ones to clean the windows and to take wax off the car.

even with mf, you need to make sure you get a product without tags (take them off) or cotton seams- good mfs do not have cotton seams, but some cheap ones do.
and by the way, once you use a big blue (drying mf) you will never use anything else!! they are incredible-

Pep Boys might carry them. Wal-Mart's has cheap ones (thread count is the deciding factor for price). I would use Plexus cleaner on the clear plastic in the dash, windscreen, and lights.
