    I go by feel not so much brand, and both sides better be the same (not one side cheap microfiber and the other is almost flat)
    lots of the cheap ones will feel thin and leave lint. The better ones are thicker

    What are you wanting them for? General use and throw away you can get at any auto part store or walmart but if you want them to touch your paint and not leave fine scratches(swirls) then order them from a place like theragcompany.com. These towels can be used for taking off wax, polish, sealant and not swirl your paint. If you dont care about swirls or if you dont polish your car, I would just buy whatever from walmart as you can get them in bigger bulk and they all will cause damage to your cars finish.

    I never used the Meguiars Supreme Shine towels but they generally get good reviews, walmart sells them.
    They also carry a Surf City waffle weave drying towel and Microtex microfibers in a 10 or 15 pack that will work for glass and wheels, I don't use them on the paint.

    Do yourself a favor and invest in some good towels. The towels at wlamart, autozone and other places like this are junk. They will scratch your paint. If you are not worried about that then by all means pick up some locally.

    Costco has the kirkland microfibers that are ok. I still wouldn't use them on paint but for the average person they are ok. As with all microfibers, wash before use. These will lint.

    If you want a good towel to dry pick up a couple from here. Either of these are good.

    Glass towels

    http://www.theragcompany.com/16-x-16...16-P-GLASS.htm

    These are also good. They are best for removing waxes, polishes, compounds, detail sprays, spray waxes. They are not necessarily good for drying.

    These are what you want for drying. A minimum of 2 would be my recommendation. 1 would not be enough.

    While you are at it pick up the Meguiar's wash mitt. It's very soft, cheap and works great.

    Better to order them. It is worth the extra money for quality microfibers.
