    Nice pick-up ART

    I think they are perfect for compounding, interiors...everything except the final polish

    For some reason, I just can't bring myself to trust them after a long day of perfecting paint

    I like the Costco towels too, but I use them for the interiors, jambs and trim.

    Copy and pasted this btw: Here is what I put and did.

    So I just washed a 36 pack and then put them in the dryer and they came out great.

    I've never done the CD test with any towels, but figured "ehh what the heck, why not." So I got out a DVDR, cleaned it with a Mothers Window cleaner sample bottle I had. Came out clean and no scratches.

    So I then folded it 4 ways and rubbed it back and fourth and still nada. Then unfolded it and with one finger rubbed it pretty hard and the DVDr still came out fine. Turned the towel around to the unplush side and did the same with 1 finger and still came out fine.

    So looks like these towels might end up working out. Of course, I am not going to be rubbing on the paint that hard, so I think technique will come more into play here. Just hope they hold up for a while. $15 dollars for 36 mf towels.


    I do have my other towels for the final wipe, for removing wax, and after the final polish. I just wanted more work horse towels and I plan on getting better on rinseless washes. Due to the new LA water regulations and I like to be as Eco friendly as I can.

    I have a stack of the pro force towels and have been in the process of throwing them out after a bit over a year. They work great for interiors, engines, wheels, etc...

    I do quite a few rinse less washes and usually stick with the 700 gsm waterless wash towels since both sides are along nap. I feel they hold much more solution than those did which means I can use all 8 sides instead of just 4.

    If they work out for you great

    Re: Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    This latest batch of Kirklands is (or seems) more plush than the last few, maybe approaching 400 gm². After removing the pesky stitched-in tags, they washed up nicely. I used a couple to ONR a hood today to do an inspection and they worked just like I'd expect a plush towel to work. I still won't give up on Cobra or TRC deluxe edgeless and tagless towels, but these will be great for less critical applications. I used to only use Kirklands for the dirtiest jobs.
