Default Microfiber Observation

I had bought some Costco Microfiber bulk pack a while back and was using it for drying and wax removal. In another thread I saw someone warn that these towels scratch. I took a new jewel case (CD holder) and rubbed a just washed towel on the inside and no scratches. I was actually rubbing very hard. I then did the same thing with the edge of the towel where it's hemmed and it easily scratched the plastic without much pressure. So I think any MF that has a sewn edge that is not very soft will scratch.

I've never seen any without seams. If it's convenient could you snap a picture of the edge of the towel.

I don't own these but Zaino has ones that are borderfree, but they are expensive...

I happen to like the Meguiars Ultimate Wipe Detailing Cloth, they work very well, and launder up nice and soft!!!!! I use them every Sunday morning for my babys wash and Ultimate Detailer/Wax wipe down!!!

She looks so sweet when I'm done!!!

I tried cutting the border off a Costco towel but it created a lint nightmare.
