Like I said, I find microfiber is NOT the best solution for that really mirror finish billet. It looks soft, it feels soft, but it's too porous and ends up not being able to eliminate the finest of scratches for the REALLY high and deep gloss mirror finishes. I've got pieces that I would never EVER touch with microfiber. I frankly try not to touch them at all. The blue shop towels to me are also too "fibery", if that's a word. There is still paper in them and it scratches in my experience. The key for me is to use very very mild polish, a very soft white fine polishing cloth, and an extremely light touch. Aluminum is just so soft.
