I bought 24pk/$20 microfibers at my local autoparts store will these hurt my paint?

So I bought some cheap microfiber towels, the littler size and got a 24 pack for 20 bucks. It seemed like a good deal could they hurt my paint? Also is it ok to use a circular motion when I'm just hand polishing? Will this creat swirl marks?

well microfiber towels are as good and what you pay for... so cheap towels arent really that good I have found out in my experience... and personally I use straight line motions to remove wax and apply wax

I haven't tried the cheap microfiber towels on my car, but I once bought some cheap really small microfiber "towels" to clean my eye glasses and they did scratch up my glasses. I was pretty mad....

Yeah I've got those from costco before, I really only use them for cleaning my interior or wheels, you should get 10-20 cobra mf's and just take good care of them.
