Scrim for standard detailing. If I have leaded panes it's micro all the way. I also use micro for light fixture cleaning.

Microfibres for about 5 years or so now.

Why just use them on leaded? If they're better for that then they're better full stop. ???

Whats a ragtail?

A shammy can be used exactly like a scrim or a microfibre but you can wring it out. Think about that when you are trying to dry those cloths this winter.

Hi,

But you would have to buff with a dry scrim after a shammy.
