Griot's Garage...they really are different than others I've tried.  Much more plush and softer, especially the Blue ones

Griots are great. At least they feel better than the cheap ones I've picked up in the past. They also seem to polish the wax off easier too. Or maybe its just me trying to feel better about spending 4 times as much on towels .... ;D

I was wondering if they were worth the extra jingle, guess I'll have to try the Griot's ones now that so many 'experts' have given them the thumbs-up.  $$$$$  :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: har.  spyder

Costco, but I found they tend to leave too many microfibers on the paint.
Mostly just get the bags of terry cloth towels from Costco and use them.

Did you cheap out when you bought your bike?  Didn't think so...and this is certainly not the time to start! Griot's garage or from Glare maybe others, but please do not rush to find the cheapest micro fiber cloth, there is a difference! Griot is a fanatic when it comes to offering the best products. You can also use quality terri cloth towels or some cotton hotel towels that have been washed WITHOUT fabric softener or dryer strips. The bulk pak "terri cloth" towels from Auto Zone are crap! Please do not use them on your paint. Don't ask me how I know, I have been experimenting for 30 years. Good finish to all...

I got some from griots and they really are nice. Ill just hand wash them in the sink and keep them away from the other towels that may get shavings etc around shop.

X2, Andy.  Even our cars got bad swirl marks.  I have a ton of stuff from Griot's...the stuff ain't cheap, but nothing works quite like it.
