Micro-fiber, by any other name is still micro-fiber... Is that right - far as window cleaning goes? I've got micro-fiber towelettes coming out of my ears, so is the MF towel spoken of here something special or treated with something??
Thanks in advance.

The "Ultimate Streak Free Cloth" I use is MIRAfiber - not MICROfiber just in case you missed that. There are many different microfibers out there - even in Auto Parts stores there is a selection of them. For windows I use the MIRAfiber dampened with water and follow with a dry standard microfiber like the ones in the big pack from Costco. There are "fluffy" microfibers that usually sell one or two to a lot that I use to gently wipe dust off the car - they will also take off fingerprints and such off windows.
My car is literally so "slick" from all the wax/detail spray/trim shine/etc. that almost nothing sticks to it - windows included. I cannot even stick painters tape to the molding to protect it from wax anymore. My point with this is - bugs aren't nearly as bad to clean off if you have a "slick" car. Last show I went to was 2 hours away and bugs almost fell off by themselves when I got there.
I have at least 3 more shows this year - I think after those I will wash it with Dawn and "paint correct" it again - and use a product called "Chadwicks Triple Play" for next year. It hardens and seals - and you use it like a detail spray instead of washing the car. I need something that works, yet saves me from doing 3-4 coats of wax...
