Costco yellow microfibers not good for black
If you have a black G, I would throw away the Costco yellow microfibers.
They leave fine scratches (micromarring) in the clearcoat. You will only see this in sunlight but they do scratch real bad. I used a PC polisher and got out all the scratches. I rolled out my black G in to the sunlight. Perfect! Then waxed and buffed out with the MF towels, checked in the sunlight and there they were! Hairline scratches all over again. I threw them out and got Meguiars MF. Awesome. Costco MF are lower grade, 80% polyester, 20% polyamide.
High quality MF contain 70% polyester, 30% polyamide. Softer!
If you do not have black, the costco specials are probably good enough.

use the right towels.... www.detailersparadise.com
Platinum MF for QD and general
Monster Fluffy for wax removal
Waffle weave for drying
for doing dash and dressing costco MF will do just fine.

Plus, it works wonders for getting water out of all the tiny nooks and crannies that you can't with a chamois.

I think I got strange looks today too... I didn't know it was supposed to rain today, so I took the G out to run some errands, and it started raining on my way back... So when I got home, I busted out the leaf-blower and dried my car off, so now it looks just as clean as it was before I ventured out today...
(Drying your car after it rains with a leafblower before the water dries, will prevent your car from getting that brown dirt all over it, as all the dirt is still in suspension with the water)

I just use a corded leafblower. It's dualspeed. 135mph and 220mph (or something like that, I can't remember exactly).... Works great to dry off my wheels
Is your cordless blower heavy? (Just curious... )
