if you go to Zaino's website, they sell a pack of 3 100% cotton, borderless, tagless, seamless towels that are softer than my baby's a$$. they're a little pricey, but you get what you pay for, and I've never found an exception to that rule. IMO they're better than any micro-fiber towel you will find.
when i use zaino, i still stick with microfiber. at least to me, no matter how i look at it (or feel), microfiber is far softer than cotton (especially after few washes)

I don't think the Zaino blonde borderless towels are cotton. I think they are MF, poly based. For years they recommended 100% made in USA white cotton but their current towels don't have any indication they are cotton, nor are they white. I agree they are super soft and work great for buffing and using with detailing sprays.

touchless = useless

I used it with my white Camry. It's a little more clean than when it go in, but if you brush it with your finger U'll see it's not clean clean.
