I don't remember if it came with a cloth, I've had the stuff for a year, never had an opportunity to really test it out. I can say that in this instance, it worked well (no affiliation with Eterna Shine).
I will admit I've used microfiber cloth on my guitars when cleaning them, the same kind I use to detail my car. But now you've got me wondering... I think I'll be recycling some old cotton T-shirts.
Yes, be assured, the polyester used to make the thread that makes those cloths and so many other fabrics is in fact harder than NCL. Microfiber just means micro-scratches, on NCL.
Cotton isn't harder than NCL. It's actually almost pure cellulose itself.
Cellulose broken down with nitric acid=nitrocellulose...nitrocellulose dissolved in MEK and acetone and sundry other compounds gives NCLacquer.
Which as it dries leaves behind crystallized cellulose.
Note also that there are many variations of the NCL formula. It's undergone an evolution over the years such that today's NCL's are less environmentally hazardous and a bit more elastic and durable than what Dupont first used as auto paint in the '20's.
Using microfiber on modern clear-coated auto finishes is fine.
