I agree I have had the best of luck with waffle weave type towels.. They also are great on glass...Waffle weave towels work best for me when drying my vehicles, grew up using chamois but the waffle weave is my go-to.
To dry with microfiber you need to wet the towel. By itself the surface tension does not attract water. The best way to get the proper water content is to wash the towel and not dry it, just spin dry from the washer.

I use microfiber all the time. The Rag Company's Double Twistress for drying (also have the Gauntlet but haven't tried it yet), Spectrum 420 for interior, Diamond Weave for windows, and a large number of other towels from them because microfiber is just plain cool IMO. The cheap Costco towels get used on my wheels.
For washing, the P&S Rags To Riches is the best detergent around in my opinion. With my most hydrophobic towels I pre-soaked them for a couple of hours in some free & clear liquid laundry detergent with about one ounce per gallon of butyl cellosolve (2-butoxyethanol) added. After washing them in Rags To Riches, they came out fantastic.

I have the gauntlet. I use the towel after spin dry damp and just drag the towel flat as possible on the paint. It sucks up water much better than a chamois. The Rag Company is now my favorite microfiber. The edgeless 365 is my go to for polishing. Used to wash in cold/cold and found warm/cold is better. Extra rinse and white vinegar in the softener cup. Dry on lowest setting. I have Chemical Guys microfiber detergent but now just use Free and Clear. This works for me….

I got some of those from Amazon a while back. I blew wife's mind by shinning the stainless steel dishwasher door.
She could not get over the look. Like a mirror. Did the same to the cook top (glass) last week. At the time they had some for
sale 1/2 dozen packs and not too expensive. What I like is how long they last even if washed a bunch of times after uses.
Watch Harbor Freight for good deals on microfiber rags and towels. They have them in all sizes for cheap. And they hold up well.

Buy the microfibers from Costco. Dirt cheap. In another vein, they're great for polishing and wiping down of a car's surface. But not crazy about them a rag for cleaning parts and tools while you're doing a maintenance job on your car.
