What are the differences between the following products?

Cobra Miracle towel
green and blue rolled edge Super Soft towels
Blue all-purpose towels (which cost more than the Super Soft)
Grey Cobra Supreme
Lavender Super Plush
and now the newest...the Chinchilla

Help!
 
look for percentage of polyamide versus polyester

the better mf's have 25-30% polyamide
other consideration is the nap. A longer nap like on the chinchilla will absorb more liquid and be able to move dirt closer to the base of the mf, keeping it away from your paint. Good for ONR washes and final wipes but maybe not so much for quick detailing.

A great towel is the green and blue rolled edges. I think they are 25% polyamide and each side has a different nap length.

Cobra Miracle Towel - It has shorter nap on one side and longer nap on the other. It says its good for "Wax and polish removal, buffing.

Rolled Edge Super Soft - Just an all around detailing microfiber. Some people might think its better for wax removal ect, and other might think its better for rinse less washes.

Blue All-purpose - I think these or more closely related to the Cobra brand but with out the brand label.

Cobra Gray - Application of spray waxes and quick detailers, buffing.

Cobra Lavender - Application of spray waxes and quick detailers, buffing. But with different blend of materials then Cobra Gray.

Chinchilla - From what I can tell it has a much longer nap the many of the other microfibers.

Okay......
Lavender, grey, or rolled? Or something completely different, like Sonus Der Wonder?
I'm not fond of the Megs Supreme Shine, and I haven't tried Griot's.
I have towels for cleaning, but I need some more spray wax/QD towels, and definitely some more buffing towels.
 
For your money, I do not think you can beat the rolled edge towels. I use them almost exclusively.

I have a few of those, and I like them a lot. I just wanted to find out if there's something better before I buy some more. (I'm waiting for the green ones to be back in stock.)

If the lavender towels are put on BOGO, I'll get some of them, too. IF they're better than the grey ones!

Why are there so many to choose from?!?!?!? :)
