Dealerships, get out of the '80's!

You are correct. I have no idea what is in their supply room. But one would think that if they were using MF's for SOMETHING, ANYTHING, that they would have some within reach.

Unless I'm using MF-towels on a specific-task-at-hand:
You'd be pretty hard pressed to see any
of mine laying out in the open.

I try to keep them out of my "dirty environment" as much as possible. Perhaps the guys at this Dealership are, what I'll call concientious, as well.

I worked at a Chrysler Dealer for 20 years and when I left in 2004 no one at the dealership had ever used a microfiber towel

20 years from now when the newest and greatest wiping implement is being used we will be saying the same thing about microfiber. Nothing wrong with terry towels as long as they are the high quality soft ones. Not the thing hard ones that are sold cheaply in the auto stores.

When a buddy of mine bought a new car a few years ago, from a smaller dealership in Southwest Florida, I was pretty impressed with the detailing job done on his car for delivery. They had I think ZEP products in labeled bottles and microfiber towels and unbelievably delivered the car free of swirls and scratches. It was obvious the person who detailed the car took pride in her work. But that is by far the exception!!!

When my dad bought his new Accord, the car came with water stains on the paint and glass. After they washed it, they noticed it and I said LEAVE IT! Ill take care of it!

You can't have it both ways, low cost labor and high quality work.

Got my wife's oil changed at the Hyundai dealership last weekend. The service coordinator said to me, did you know about our complimentary car wash? Next time if you have an extra hour we'll wash it for you. My Black GC was there as I picked her up and I looked at him and said thanks, but you don't keep a car looking like that by letting others wash it. I'll pass. Then I went home and printed a bunch of "Do NOT Wash This Car Under Any Circumstances" I figure I have about 60 labor hours in my rides paint. If they ever touch they are going to owe me some serious $$$$.

I remember back on the original autopia forum having discussions about the best bath towels to dry your car with
