    I have quite an investment in MF’s as well and I hate throwing a towel out unless it is unsafe to use or if I think it will contaminate my washer.

    Re: Time to retire my edgeless towels?

    I might need to attend a few meetings of MFA - Microfiber Anonymous.













    I have specific towels for specific jobs, each category getting its own plastic container for safe storage.

    I further complicate that by having two sets of most of those categories, catering to my cars and customer cars separately. Not that the towels I use on other people's cars are crap, just that the newer or better stuff is reserved for my use only.

    Wash Mitts/Pads -
    My cars, customer cars

    Drying Towels -
    My cars in small and large, large customer cars

    Door Jamb Towels -
    My cars, customer cars

    Interior Towels -
    General purpose, delicate surfaces (gloss black ect)

    Glass Towels-
    Universal

    Rinse-less Towels -
    Universal

    Engine Bay Towels -
    My cars, customer cars

    Wheel & Tire Towels -
    My cars, customer cars

    Multi-purpose Towels -
    My cars, customer cars

    Wax & Polish Removal Towels -
    My cars, customer cars

    Coating Removal Towels -
    Universal

    All are washed in Rags To Riches, air dried indoors (no dryers!) and then inspected, folded and stored as above.

    I’ve always had more towels than needed, but as more and more customers wanted links or more info as which MF’s to use, I decided to have enough stock to supply them. It has grown quite a bit and I now actually turn a decent profit on selling MF’s & maintenance kits.
    I’ve also seen some of your orders Crack and you’re not too far off

    Hey man screw you…. I ain’t got no problem…. I can quit whenever I want man… I only buy them cuz I don’t want the vendors going out of business…. They came free with another purchase…. I didn’t even want them……. You say you sell them? Not for me asking for a friend.

    I ain’t got no cash but I got these double cheeseburgers I can trade….

    IME towels come out much better when dried in the dryer vs. air dried. Noticeably softer.

    Agree they are softer out of a dryer even if just using the air tumble/fluff settings. I also have lint balls in the dryer with the towels now. Lint roller worked well this past weekend got a bit off the towels.

    Eagle Edgeless (470gsm?) I like em for QD work or final wipe work. They’re cool with rinseless and waterless as well.

    There is a place with Halloween door busters that selling the EE 3 for $8.

    I would look them up and then see if AG still price matches. That’s a great deal on these towels.
