What do you mean by "Shorter Pile and Longer Pile"? Excuse me if I'm oblivious XD

Pile height is reference to the density and plushness of the fibers in the towel. The term is more commonly used in reference to carpet and rugs.

Is it better to use the shorter/longer pile pad or its just your preference?

Soap will only remove dirt and debris making it look clean; metal polish will make it shine.
I use Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish

That works well on Titanium? I'm not sure if Stainless Steel and Ti make any difference on what to use to clean/polish it. Just want the best product to use, and if there is a specific type of product to use. I don't know I guess I'm way too anal when it comes to this car lol

If you are hand polishing, there's no real difference in SS and Ti. Polishes are very fine abrasives and don't remove much surface material. Some polishes may work a little better than others but any product mentioned in this thread will do a very good job. I have no idea how deep the coloration goes but several members with high rep numbers (and that I would trust anyway) have said that they use polish without removing it.

Since you don't seem to put much stock in what others have recommended, see what the rest of The Intertubes thinks ...
