Hi all,

I am setting up my next order and need to get some more micro fiber cloths for wax, polish, and sealant removal. Would like to ensure that what I get has the same on both sides so I get eight removal sides. Probably also need to get some for general use for the interior (dusting and applying plastic cleaner, protectant, etc.

Any favorites?

Thanks again.

Ed

I like the costco ones, they are not online but in store in the industrial section. They are yellow and come in a 36 pack

Hmm, I'll check 'em out - I'm scheduled to go to Costco anyways.

The costco ones are thin and crappy. I use them for removing tar and brake dust since my community doesn't allow using a hose. I would never use them on paint.

didn't care for the woobie towels and sent them back. if you want an all-around microfiber towel, one in the 350-380gm range are good for just about anything. search around, plenty of choices online these days...

Edgeless towels are excellent for wax/polish removal but not that great for anything else. Same nap on both sides with a low pile that grabs really well so you dont have to press too hard when buffing.

i would wash the costco towels first if you are using them removal of lsp or polishing. IMO they have some type of additive or something in them. I noticed this when trying to use them for the windows. It would leave some residue behind. Now I just use them for wheels, wheel wells, and wiping down trim before trim treatment with IPA. I always wash them first though...

Yeah I have the Costco as well. Noticed the same residue. Plan on washing. Not as good as some of the others I have bought here.

I've tried a ton of different towels, Uber MF, Costo, Targert but these are the best all around towel I've used. Wait for a sale, BOGO or VIP event to make your purchase - you'll be very happy

I love the towels, but unfortunately they are on temporary back order right now.

Never noticed the residue, but I don't like the quality of the towels. As mentioned above, I use them for wheels and tires.

You should wash ALL MF towels prior to use, even the top notch ones that you'll find on AG, for example.
