I need to stock up on MicroFiber towels. I don't think you
can ever have enough of them!

I like to keep them marked and seperate, one for windows,
one for exterior plastics, one for interior plastics, one for
paint, and one for wheels. Not to mention the typical wash
and dry ones!

Yeah, I'm sick.

costco has microfiber towels for cheap.

how cheap?

I think Zaino is overrated. There plenty of good waxes thats cheaper.

I use the quick detail for my car daily and spend about $5.99 for a 16oz bottle. I got the 1 gallon bottle of Last Touch which is also a Meguiars product that shops use for $20.00. It will last me months. It is much better then the OTC stuff you get. Will not cloud after wiping off. Check out the site and then go to your local auto store and see the difference. It is well worth it.

a pack of 16 or 12 for around $13 or something. i can't remember the exact price, but it was pretty cheap.

holy crap! i bought ONE 6.5 sq ft for 8 bucks at target! I got ripped. :(

Costco sells a pack of 12 for $9. I have them and they're pretty good, but they're not too big (maybe 18" square) and they're not waffle weave. But for the price, they can't be beat.

I have been coming to this board for quite a while and haven't felt the need to post until now. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I, for one, believe that Zaino is a very good product when used properly. Some people don't like it. But to hint that Zaino is a wax? That just tells me that you most likely haven't used their products.

I'm sorry if this sounds mean spirited, espicially for my first post, but that was not my intention. Here is, imo, the best site on the internet to learn from and talk to MANY detailing enthusiasts www.autopia.org I strongly suggest that anyone who really wants to learn how to take care of their car's interior and exterior to check it out.

I've read this is the place for micro-fiber. Pricey but worth it I've read.

Also, Zaino is great...about 3 coats and your paint looks 'wet'...clay bar is important though.

I use Griots. It is a bit expensive but a friend of mine who is in the know about cars, racing and detailing informed me about Griots. Awesome stuff.

I bought a pack of 8microfiber towels at walmart for like $6 bucks.I've never had used microfiber towels before this and man are they great............

Costco - 16 pack MicroFiber Cloths - 16 x 16 - $9.99

it's a little small, but man, what a deal!

i got some 20" x 40" microfiber cloths off ebay for about $4 each. they are pretty sweet, but it'll take at least 4 of them to dry off the whole car. i need waffle weave microfibers for that

For drying the car I use the Costco towels and it only takes me like 3 or 4 (including the wheels and everything) because i use the water blade thing first. I know some people are afraid of it but I've never had any problems - just make sure it's clean and so is your car.

just one to dry....keep wringing it out...

If you keep wringing it out (unless you are somewhere a lot hotter and sunnier than Seattle), you will definitely get most of the water off, but over time, your towels pick up grit and stuff anyway, so I like switching to a certain extent. With wringing it out, I don't think I can get the car 100% dry - they just don't absorb that good.

i use one each time i dry...grity spots are next to last....the last spot is the trash....

I bought one today too! except the total was 5 bucks.

Thats one way to do it, but I try and use a bunch of them and keep them pretty clean, then just wash them afterwards - no fabric softener. They clean up pretty well and I've probably washed them all like 5 or 6 times and they're getting just a little bit frayed now. Probably last another 6 washes then I'll trash 'em. Don't want to waste towels if i don't have to.

I use the Costco towels...has anyone washed them?

Are you talking about the yellow costco microfiber towels? If so, see my post right above yours.
