The Panorama Tech question was in the October 2014 issue.
I read it and remember thinking "to each their own"
This is much like the Chamois Vs. Cotton towel Vs. Waffle Microfiber towel to dry the car debate.
I just sent an email directly to John Paterek to see why he prefers cotton and not microfiber.
I am a professional detailer with 20 years of experience. I have prepared cars for National level PCA Concours as well a various other makes for open class Concours events.
My bread and butter remains daily driver type Porsche vehicles. These come with a wide spectrum of paint needs.
I started using Microfiber towels for removal of polish and wax residue in the early 90's. They were just beginning to get popular. Most "pros" still used soft cotton or flannel.
Today I use soft cotton for all of my polishing and waxing and Micro for removal.
There are varying qualities of Microfiber. Edge binding can scratch your paint work. Be careful of what you use.
Cotton towels can also have synthetic edge binding.
I am very much a realist in my approach to detailing. There is a wide spectrum of products and methods out there. If something is giving you satisfactory results then stick with it.
Let's see what John's take is.
