Halfords microfibre cloths do me fine, but I'm not 100% queer when it comes to getting a decent shine on my sax.

Eurow MFs are the best for removal of product. Dodo Wooly Mammoth is the best for drying

For general cleaning I would suggest screw fix ones they are light and don't clog up with the product for more wax buffing use euro wool ones

Just me thats thinks it would be slightly unusual to have microfibre clothes then? Cant imagine they'd look very good! On topic supposedly there are big differences but i know i've got a few cheaper ones and they don't seem too bad. I'm guessing a proper detailer would disagree but for the majority of people any sort of microfibre will be better than previous techniques!

Is he using cloths or towels ?

Only use the cheap cloths for cleaning the engine bay and shitty jobs where you can throw them away
