    Microfibre cloths are the BEST thing for buffing up polish on your car. They are far gentler than cotton cloths.

    Depending on where you bought it, you might have a bargain, 'cos some places charge a fortune for them!!

    I still prefer the Terry cotton BIG cloths - other pads/cloths all seem to small for the way I detail a vehicle.

    Check http://www.meguiars.co.uk for hints n tips & the product range i'm now a convert to!!

    But DON't buy on line - find a local stockist & get him to do a deal - this stuff has a high profit margin!!

    Amen.
    If you have a local 99p/£1 shop - check it out. They always seem to have loads of them.

    Meguirs or Autoglym are very good - but nor a patch on Poorboys - I get that through my car club. Microfibre cloths are the best for buffing up the paintwork.

    Every 3 months I do this:-
    Wash
    Rinse
    Clarbar (take all wax/deposits off paintwork)
    Rinse
    Paint Restorer
    Sealant
    Wax
    Wax
