    Microfiber towel suggestions

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    The range of microfiber prices is enormous.

    Any recommendation for a great deal for quality microfiber? I know you can pay a ton and get really good ones, but looking for a great value (decent product and good price)

    I was using the ones by Costco. Although not the best, there are many positive reviews across the internet on them. Only thing I didn't like is the yellow dye they use takes forever to get out of them and pre wash so no more yellow dye bleeds out.

    I am wondering if any of you guys have a recommendation of a source and brand of towel where you can buy in quantity (12 or more)

    The rag company. I use their edgeless for buffing and the waffleweave for drying.

    Our Micro Fiber is made from the finest grade 'A" Korean Micro Fiber Material in Korea.

    All of these cloths are made from high quality micro fiber.

    That's all I got just looking real quick, I have a ton of them and you won't be dissapointed. Mine have been through several washes and are still great and soft.

    Costco had one for years, the yellow ones.
    They were ok, not bad I still buy them to complement what I have. Great utility towels!
    I think these are the ones you're talking about:


    I have found some new ones (yellow) that are much better and softer.


    You can get them at amazon, though a tad higher than what you'd pay at Costco.

    I went with The Rag Company. They were the most transparent and up front with their specifications. I bought the Korean 70/30 Eagle Towels for my Audi, the chinese 70/30 for my wifes car and general cleaning around the house and I purchased some glass cleaning towels. I liked how you could mix and match.

    Depends on what you're looking to use them for IMO.

    I buy the cheap Autozone / Wally World ones for inside door jams, wheels, windows and interior use. Anything touch paint including waterless/rinseless washing I use THE RAG COMPANY 16 in. x 16 in. Eagle Edgeless Orange Professional Korean 70/30 Super Plush 480gsm Microfiber Detailing Towels sold in 5 packs. I use blue for washing and orange for wax removal and buffing. Best out there IMO.


    I use some nice waffle weave and several of these he Shine & Buff Waterless Wash Towels for drying. They are amazing and when damp oh-so-soft and safe.

    +1 on the 16x16 from the Rag Co for touching your paint with, it's very high end microfiber. I personally use the Costco 16x16 http://www.costcobusinessdelivery.co....11895673.html

    for anything that's not paint its like $16 for a 32 pack and I even go so far as to using them for non-car stuff: my glass top stove, mirrors, windows, counter tops, pair it with some APC and you can use it for anything really, replaces paper towels in my house :-)
