    Re: AWESOME Towels for CHEAP!

    After closer comparison, it seems that the new Edgeless MF Polishing Cloths are lighter than the yellow towel from CarPro.

    So my initial estimate of 360 gsm was incorrect. I decided to weigh the towel to get a more accurate result.

    Converting to GSM (grams per square meter):

    Weight of the Edgeless MF Polishing Cloth (16" x 16") = 45 grams.

    Actual towel size = 15.5" x 15.5" = 240.25 square inches

    1 square inch = 0.00064516 square meters

    240.25 x 0.00064516 = 0.155 square meters

    45 grams / 0.155 square meters = 290 grams per square meter or 290 GSM

    Note: not sure if this is how manufacturers determine GSM, I may be missing something, but these are just my own personal findings.

    Obviously, you removed the tag before weighing

    That's what is throwing off your numbers

    I use costco yellow microfiber as does larry kossilla from ammo nyc. He likes them for the 325 gsm as it removes wax and polish easy but will not damage paint.

    these seem like a bit less gsm but better overall quality

    Seems like the 300-350 GSM is the sweet spot for wax removal and general purpose MF's.

    Thank you very much for taking the time and do this. It is definitely appreciated!

    I'm going to pick a dozen up and see how they perform. Thanks again!

    China - it's the only way I could get them at this price point. You will NOT be disappointed with the quality of these towels.
