hey they got 20 packs of yellow microfiber towels at costco for 10 bucks...

 

10 bucks?

 

hmm i think i might need to pick up another pack.

 

They work good

 

parents went to costco the other day, wish i had known then

 

I get mine from Sam's Club. 18 for $10, blue MF towles.

 

yah its a good deal.. do you guys reuse them? i use them once and toss them...

 

They are about the best I've used.

I use them 2-5 times.
I wash them after each use and use liquid fab softener

 

No throw 'em away, hehe! Still good to reuse. Even if dirty, wash and then use for rims or something.

 

Here's a great tip for you guys.

Never use any kind of fabric softener for any of the rags you use on your cars body.

The softeners contain chemicals that may not rinse out well and damage your cars finish.

Also, softeners lessen the ability of your fabrics to absorb water.

If possible, wash your rags with clear liquid detergent, not powdered. Again, to prevent scratching. Also, some people think that the dyes in the other detergent can affect their finish. I don't know about that, but it couldn't hurt to use the clear stuff.

I try not to use anything on my cars body except 100% cotton. USA or Egyptian cotton. I also cut off the edges of my towels to prevent the edges from scratching the finish. Believe it or not, they actually make cotton microfiber now.

I have used both the "blue" and "yellow" microfiber towel packs, and they work fine though. I do cut off the labels though. I use mine many times, washing between each cleaning session. If I drop it though or use it to wipe off bird crap or something abrasive, it turns into a tire/wheel rag. Sucks. It gets expensive doing that.

 

Yup the blue ones from Sam's are great!!!! I have used them several times...just wash with a little regular detergent with no softener and then dry on low heat with no dryer sheets and they practically come out brand new. Can't beat 18 for like 10-15 bucks!!!

 

fabric softener will not ruin the towels or your cars.

that's almost silly

 

i just picked some up yesterday!

 

About the fabric softener, I'm just saying what the information on the Zaino web site says.

 

good lookin' out Wile! Fab softener clogs the strands of cotton in the towel. Thus making the towel less absorbent. Try washing one with fab soft and one w/o--you'll pick up more water with the one with no fab soft.

 

Not true...
Fab softener loosens the thread count/weave/etc...

Someone doesn't know how to use fab softner

 

^^ true with cotton. But fab softener will clog up microfiber towels and lose its static ability
Here are some links of very popular sites that supports this

Haven't seen any problems

Wash and dry

Look at my detailing pictures... no problems

Believe what you read or see for yourself.

I am always amazed how much static remains in the towels after washing them.

 

amen reagulator. maybe TMM needs to learn how to do some laundry! And when did towels come in a thread count? That IS silly! Its obvious TMM "doesn't know how to use fab softener."

 

thread count - look it up... all fabric have it.

Unless it's one giant thread cut into the shape of a towel
