Is it just me, or does anyone else own more microfiber towels then you could use in 100 years? I sorted out my back up collection of towels today and its just insane. I knew I had a lot but i didn't realize it was that many. wish I could post a pick but believe me its a lot? well over 100 towels easy maybe 200. And that's just the back up towels.

•Sounds pretty normal to me.

But, then again:
•What Is Normal?
"Disorders" seem to be annexing
ever more territory, here lately...

Sounds about right to me.
Now that you mention it, I need to pick up a few more.

I also have more than I probably need however because of that I grab a clean fresh one more frequently! I hate having to wash them but I like having a s******d of them.

Use them all and by that I mean give your bullpen towels a rest and break open those unused brand new towels.

LMAO!! I am in the same boat! I have enough MF Towels to open up a detail shop even though I am a hobbyist!

Nothing wrong with that. I go through a lot of towels on a weekly basis. I am super OCD. I always rotate the freshly washed ones to the back to try and ensure even wear on all of them.

My MF issue is so bad that I had to order a 9x7 storage shed to move them into. I have full cases of brand new MF's (Eagles, Edgeless Wizards, Everest 800, Gold jr's to name a few)
Easily have over 500 Eagles (includes MF's in rotation)

No question I have too many. I still need more "good" ones. ;)

microfiber towels are the one thing that touches the paint the most and you always want to have ones that are quality. otherwise.. you'll be polishing more than needed, unless you don't mind shiny scratches/defects...

Soon as I buy another 36 for rinseless/waterless washing, I'm done. I swear.

My partner and I found a great place here locally that makes their own detailing products (chemicals and what not) and I recently learned that they have a pretty damned good deal on MF towels. I have become a HUGE fan of the edgeless and will likely never go back to any others (aside from the door jams, wheels, engine, and glass). So I guess......all MFs that touch paint will be edgeless......

Anyhow....I figure we have about 100-125 in circulation that we use and wash, use and wash.....so on. The great deal on these edgeless towels is 12 for $17. They are awesome quality and I absolutely love them. May start buying like 2 packs before every car.....LOL

I'm putting myself on a buying freeze. I can't even believe how many I have.

I can't, besides the fact that I already have well over 100 in rotation, my 2 cabinets are stuffed full. I don't have any more real estate for them. I actually love washing mine, I have a big bin with 3 separate laundry bags.

1. Light paint towels
2. Dark paint towels
3. All purpose towels

Then I have a whole separate case and bag for white paint towels. And another separate crate for white cotton terry towels. I also have multiple detergents for microfiber. I'm actually finishing a load now
