Glaze is really only for darker paints. It fills in micro scratches that polishing couldnt correct. Pretty much pointless on light color paint.

Polyester fiber less likely to scratch than cotton? My g & truck are both black, never had any issues with old towels scratching anything.
What scratches the surface is dirt & how much pressure you use when wiping it.
I see a lot of nice cars with fine scratches in the clear coat at shows, usually someone is using a dry microfiber towel to wipe it down.
My main comments earlier related to friction creation between microfiber vs cotton towels.

"Don’t…Use cotton towels
Cotton terry towels leave lint, don’t absorb well, and are potentially harmful to your paintwork. Towels like these are not to be used on your vehicle’s exterior finish unless you’re comfortable with hairline scratches and streaks. Plain and simple: stay away from cotton towels unless you’re cleaning your engine. Microfiber is a much safer and more effective solution."

"Using terry cloth towels or cotton diapers to wash, dry, or dust is a bad idea, and will always scratch the clear coat or paint."

Those showcar owners who actually drives their car to the show has fine swirls on their paint, could it be because they washed their car prior then during the drives it accumulate dusts then at the show they detailed mist it then wipe it with microfiber? I actually asked one of them if he detailed it & he said yes the day before but i pointed a few swirls on his paint & he was like "WTF...it wasn't there before!!"
