Behold the microfiber towel. I believe 20 were to be had at Costco for $19.99. My plan was to use them for their advertised use--car cleaning--but not only do they also work well for bathroom cleaning, but they far outstrip old undershirt-rags when it comes to shoe-shining.
If you've ever cleaned clearcoat paint with undershirt, you may have noticed minor scuffs in the top layer--nothing that wax won't fix, but still. It stands to reason that undershirt could do something similar to leather, even if we can't see it with the naked eye. Not so with microfiber on either count. It readily holds a dab of polish and soaks up dry wax when the process is done. And it's cheap enough that you can just pitch it when it gets too wax-laden.
