I used some Cobra miracle microfiber towels for the first time the other day after a full wash, I must say I feel face on for the marketing hype...

It works just like any other microfiber towel, nothing special. I actually noticed it streaks more than the other microfibers towels I use. All in all, I think money would have been better spent otherwise.

Thoughts on your experience? Advice for the best microfiber towel you've used?

Zaino towels for me
 
Are Cobra towels good? Yes. Are there other towels that are just as good? Yes. Are there other towels that are worse? Yes. The best time to buy Cobras is when they are on BOGO like they were last week.

Opinions vary, and different MFs work better on different vehicle colors. The miracle towel is my favorite on black vehicles with soft paint. Overall it's my go to towel for polish/wax removal, QD and QW, and mild waterless washing. If I could only have one towel, that would be it.

Maybe try washing it, I've never had issues with streaking, even on dark paints

I have..

Miracle towels
Plush gold
Plush Jr's purple
Chinchillas
Artic whites
Grey 530s
Black buff n shine
Carpro's Angora, Koala, and Panda
Megs supreme shine
Eurow's

Best towel i've ever used is the Chemical Guys Sasquatch. Soooooo soft and super thick. Quick detailing is a dream with those things.

Which Cobra towel did you use? And with which product? I respectfully disagree, because Cobras are not just any MF towel...there is a difference especially when dealing with soft paint systems.

Each Cobra towel has an intended and recommended purpose. For example, you wouldnt want to use the softest towel for polish/lsp removal. They dont have enough "bite".

For what its worth, Cobra towels have not marred, scratched or streaked on my soft paint. Any streaking that is induced is usually because of the product itself, user error or temperature related.

I like using Cobras Gold jr's for lsp removal and the Deluxe 600 jr's for QD/Spray Wax, and Megs Ultimate Wipe for polish removal. Yes, there are other great towels from other brands, and cheaper as well. Although if you or anyone else has scratch sensitive paint, you DEFENITELY do not want to go cheap on towels.
 
I don't know where pakshak get's their towels, but they are better than anything I've tried.
 
Arctic Whites or Adam's single soft. They are pretty much identical except for the border.

:iagree:100% Could not have said it better! I'm a micro-hoarder so I'm always on the hunt for the greatest towel. There are a few on my wish list but for now I choose a

Cobra towel for the majority of my needs.
 
I love the Woobie towels. Soft as you can get. Truly edgeless. You can't go wrong with them
 
I haven't spent much time using MF towels....but the other day I read or seen a video where they said that a wet/damp MF towel works better than a dry one. I actually think I seen a video and they were drying the car off and the MF was folder in 1/4 and they put a little ONR on the panel they were drying and then a light mist of ONR on the towel prior to drying and said it helps. I guess it makes sense to me....is this something others here are doing when drying a car???? Not only spray ONR on the car but also on the MF.

With all the towels that are out nowadays, its kinda like asking the good ole "Whats the best wax" question.

There are a lot of good towels out there these days. Way more than their use to be. I personally try to stay with Korean towels. The quality seems to be better.
 
I like my Cobras but I also really like Corey's Carpro Towels.
