If you mean the Viking Microfiber towels that are blue and green, NO they suck on the paint and will cause marring very easily. Now, I use mine for interior and glass cleanups...and they work better, but keep away from your finish unless you want problems...

Oh, that means they're even worse lol...I'd never use those on paint for two reasons, they have almost no thick nap, and most importantly I believe those come from Pakistan or China, I forget exactly which. Either way, they are not anywhere near high quality for use on paint...if you notice dozens of little swirlies in direct sun, you'll know the source...

What I use to cut and sew for my Zaino customers are Fieldcrest Charismas and Fieldcrest Royal Velvets, if you want to buy these towels you can find them in better stores in malls, or you can buy these same towels from me already cut to size, edges removed, prewashed, and edges resewn to prevent ravel on a special machine called a serger with all cotton thread.

I have two kinds of towels, both white color only, edges removed and re sewn on a
special machine called a serger with all cotton thread to prevent ravel. I have
Fieldcrest Royal Velvet and Fieldcrest Charisma, the Royal Velvets are great but the
Charismas are heavier and softer.

My standard towels come in a pack of 2 sized 20 inches by 28 inches approx., one
pack of Royal Velvet is 15.00 and one pack of Charismas are 18.00. I can do special
orders, full sized towels, 2 to a pack, or 4 to a pack(each pack contains the same
amount of toweling, just cut different
