This topic is entirely subjective. People who've never had to maintain a car before or really don't bother with detailing will say the cheap ones are okay; and that's fine, they're "ok" for them. Enthusiasts and car care experts will tell you otherwise. I've been professionally detailing cars (fulltime job, now as a part time side gig/hobby) for about 8 years. There is absolutely a difference between the cheap towels and the premium towels. Cheap towels sometimes have hard edges and will leave micro-swirls in the clear. . and will become apparent under optimal lighting conditions. Some also come with nylon tags that when you rip off, will leave a hard edge. Accidently swipe it across the pain? Yup, then re-polish that area and wax it over again.


Ultimately, it really comes down to how much you give a damn. Want to cheap out? Go for it. You honestly get what you pay for.
