Auto care with microfiber towels/cloths?

Can anyone offer advice on the use of microfiber towels in car cleanup/detailing? Will these products scratch paint and glass? How would their use differ from regular cotton towels?

    Microfiber cloths are OK on glass ,but when it comes to paint, I am a traditionalist...only clean terry cloth towels for me. I really don't think the microfiber ones would hurt, but to be safe I'd just try one small inconspicuous spot to be sure you won't be making swirl marks. You don't want to grind little specks of dirt into your paint.

    Hope this helped.

    These towels do not release small prticles of dirt as easy and will be more likly to scratch your paint. Great for heavy clean up under the hood.
