It's the absorbency.  A microfibre will take up much more water that a piece of t-shirt, so reducing water marks.   Also, never add softener if you put a microfibre in the washing machine, it ruins the absorbency completely.

Scrim and Microfibre is great for polishing glass.

A proper scrim used properly will out perform microfibre any day ive tried both but end up going back to the scrim.


Best thing to do is buy some of both and have ago
