Removing Car Wax

What kind of cloth do you use to remove wax from you car? I've been using old white t-shirts (clean of course), but am concerned that it may be too rough... My coupe is Athens Blue and is more susceptible to swirl marks than my old Diamond Graphite was.

Any recommendations would be helpful!

Thanks, I'll look into the microfiber towel.

Yes, removing the wax would be done after putting it on...

Costco has like 20 microfibers for $9.99. They arent the holy grail of microfiber, but they beat the hell out of a old tshirt (even clean).

100% cotton, made in USA white towel. No cheap crap. Microfiber works well also.

if you want to remove old layers of wax and start fresh again, use dish washing soap.

Quality microfibers. *Some* of the cheap ones can cause micromarring.

I like Cobra, Excel, Poorboys, and Pak Shak....not in that order. You will pay a bit for them but they will save you the trouble of removing swirls and such later if used and cleaned properly.
