Great price, are they any good?

To me, I only use these for interior and engine bay. When they get too dirty, I just toss them without feeling too bad since they are so cheap. I don't use them for paint at all. Also, another thing I use them for is cleaning pads on the fly.

Fine for wheels, door jambs, exhausts, trim, windows, and interior cleaning. There's a new gold looking version and it seems to be a bit thicker than the yellow/green ones. I just bought the pack but haven't gotten a chance to use expect on some windows

I use them daily, bought about 5 bags to keep up with the work. As said these newer ones have a thicker pile & work great. Just make sure you wash them before use or they will lint but once the 1st wash was done I haven't seen any lint since.

I use them for Interior, Jambs, Wheels, Engine bay, Glass, & so on. Only times iv'e used them on paint is when the vehicle was utterly trashed beforehand.

Is this the same new version that you have?

Been using them for a while now they work great, and are cheap... Just picked up two more bags of them over the weekend, I'm happy with them for all my jobs..

These are the ones I've been using for about a year. At like 55cents a piece they are worth it.

Most of my jobs are aio, so all the defects aren't removed completely anyway. I have not had any issues, except for linting on windows and mirrors.

I'll bust out my nicer towels on the high end jobs, but I use them on my own vehicles without a second thought. The plush ones are way better than the ones from Sam's club.

I like the blue ones from Sam's Club better. But for general use both are fine.

Agree.

I use both. The yellows for interior. Blues for rinseless washing.

Nope that's the original one. The new one is more gold or orange I would say. You might have to go to a different Costco to pick them up

Does anyone else notice they are terrible at absorption?

+1, I no longer use mine on glass since I found some ww mf's that Pep Boys were blowing out.

Costco microfiber towels are amazing for the price. I use them for everything including rinseless washes, pre-drying towel for traditional washes before going over with a waffle weave, wiping off polish/compound with CarPro Eraser, interior, wheels, EVERYTHING.
