Waxing/polishing towels

What is the best towel to use when waxing/polishing my car? I`m looking for the softest towel available that won`t leave surface scratches.

For removing polish or wax I use a quality micro-fiber towel. Check packshak.com or yosteve.com

I'll second the use of microfibers.

You can get a 12 pack at Wal-Mart for $8.99
