what kind of towel do you use on interior?

i'm tryign to find a good towel to use for interior cleaning - i use zaino leather cleaner for the seats and aerospace on the dash, doors, etc.

i'm currently using microfiber towels but i dont like the size of them - smallest i can find is 16x16. that is just too much towel to clean the interior. i find it gets in the way. where can i find smaller ones or what is everyone else using?

For the exterior I use the thicker more absorbent microfiber towel 16" x 16" and for interior I also have microfiber towels 12" x 16" & 16" x 16" but these are not as thick as the towel I use for the exterior.

16x16 is key for me so I can have multiple sides of the towel. Spray directly to one area of towel to apply. Never spray directly on to car. Refold to wipe, refold again to buff. Stay away from wipes IMO...applies too much product and can't buff off. Typically they are cheaper and freakier products that come in wipes too.

I use surgical towels from work.

They're just a cotton blue towel. They work great
