What kind of MF towel? low quality ones will leave scratches almost as bad as a terry cloth, and really good ones won't leave a mark. The Adam's Polishes single soft are so soft. I use them to dry the bowl of my Breville Sous Chef, I know scratches aren't the end of the world. But if I see one my OCD will never let me forget it lol.
They're not cheap towels, but if you only need a couple they're not too bad. Eagle Edgeless from The Rag Company are very plush and soft too.
MF towel I've got is by 3M or scrotch-bi... (forget how to spell it)
that I assume it's of decent quality... shouldn't it be?
