It's just standard stockinette isn't it?

Microfibre cloths are the only thing worth using to polish/wax your car with if you're worried about swirling the paint finish...

Halfords sell them, Zippy. Dark blue coloured. Or try www.swissol.com or www.zymol.co.uk

Halfords are cheaper though

bought mine from halfords, £2 or £3... blue, they do two versions, get the one that ISN'T heavy duty for paintwork. Ive seen them for sale in argos too, but haven't tried them quality wise.

They're also damn good in interior trim as well. They work polish wise as they "repel" the wax into the paintwork.

Yes Zippy. Get the polish off with a towel as you do currently, then go over with a microfibre. And yes, shamefully Mark, I've been known to frequent there. I'm a Zymol convert, after winning the compo on PH last year. Swissol is excellent too - the UK guy (Mark someone) is a top bloke. Really lovely guy.
