You are with a straight face telling us micro fibers are harder than glass?I wouldn't use anything plastic or microfiber.
Only cotton or paper towel.
Microfiber will scratch your windshield.
It won't look fogged up anymore, but with a billion scratches instead. You can only notice it at night.
Microfiber is an insane abbrasive for paint, glass and plastic.
The glass is what I experienced myself.
But here is proof that they scratch paint:
Yes the towel is soft, but if you look at the strength and hardness of individual strands of Nylon or whatever they are made from, they are extremely strong.
The best trick I was taught some years ago is to do any of these to clean the w/s interior with a glass cleaner ( once or twice depending on residue, smoker, etc.) and then to use pure clear water on the window and rewipe the window with a clean towel to finish the job. This seems to end the cycle of trying to clean the last "smear" residue after a thorough cleaning.
Waffle weave is the only way to go....Stumbled upon another "Buy the original, not Griot's" product.
MSRP $29.99

MSRP $19.95, or a few bucks less at multiple retailers.

They even made it easy with the "Powered by Cerakote" right on the box.
And yes, microfiber towels can scratch glass, at least the type with the pile, not a full weave. The issue isn't so much the microfiber textile in the shag, but the backing; it can serve to scratch if too much pressure is applied.
Probably ice scraper caused the outside scratches.I double checked my glass and most of the scratches were on outside, so it wasn't the microfiber that scratched it.
I have one similar to this one. It does a very good job. I do a follow up buff with a microfiber towel.Griot’s Garage has a similar tool. I would trust Griot’s over a random Amazon seller.
