    Exactly what I'm trying to do. I've got a big fluffy (yarn type? not sure if it's microfiber) wash mitt. Then a seperate sponge for wheels and tires... Using a microfiber cloth to dry, but I find the one I have is a bit too thin and doesn't absorb as great as I'd like. It kinda just smears the water on the first pass, until I wring it out good and go over it again...I'll have to check into getting a thicker one...

    I found a big fluffy one that was meant for drying at an auto parts store one time. It's got a tightknit on one side and plush on the other. It's soaks up water like no tomorrow. Just make sure you take care of it. And watch the seams on microfiber towels as they can scratch stuff too. I think chemical guys makes a good one and Griots garage. There's other ones but those are off the top my head.
