If you don't mind ordering online, www.pakshak.com, good prices, good selection and most importantly good towels and free shipping to boot.
Just got mine and very happy with them.

Pakshak, JT International (he's on eBay), Autofiber, Autopia Store, Neatitems, etc. etc. are all good online MF vendors. If you want local, you can try Walmart and Costco. They'll both have them. But the quality is quite poor.

Give it up, wootang00!  While others may disagree with me, I do not believe you can find first-class MFs in the retail stores. We have several great sources of MFs here: PakShak, Autopia store, DFTowel, Microfiber Tech, Poorboys, and a.k.a. Patrick come immediately to mind.

I sometimes get MF's in kits I order from the websites listed in the above posts. Figure it comes out cheaper that way, and the MFs are generally pretty good quality.

I bought the clearkote twins from Pakshak and he put in some MFs for me as part of the deal, great stuff Ranney has got  . Do pm Ranney if you are ordering, u might get more than you bargain for  . There was a post where someone posted prices for MFs in Pakshak, anyone knows where it is?? I couldn't find it. I'll give 5 thumbs up for Ranney's friendly service ,hehe
Disclaimer:I'm in no way affiliated with Pakshak, I'm in S.E.Asia
ps:Hey Ranney, I still haven't used the ultra fine MF, too precious

I do it this way whenever possible, you get the products for the same price as if you bought them individually and the bonus is usually some MF towels and applicators

Just bot some from Microfibre tech . . .
I saw this company mentioned in another thread as they had a nice selection of quality towels. I bought the 5 pack "Elite" blue tight weaved for polishing and the big blue waffle weave car drying towel to get me started.
I figured this company specializes in micro towels rather than me buying from a company that sells many different car products and just imports some cheap towels and you wind up paying similar prices.
I think they are a site sponser as mentioned above.
Now maybe I won't find threads hanging from the car the next day. I'll report back on the quality once they arrive and I try them out. I think my order was around $50 with shipping and no tax.

Here is the link: http://microfibertech.com/towels.html
P.S. they are also in CA so you might get fast delivery.

Not 100% true in this case,although some companies sell MF towels beside car products, their MF towels are definitely not of lower quality, I can only vouch for MF I got from PakShak and Autogeek, I especially like the one I got from ps as they are just a little bit plusher (sp?!) than Ag's

You will be surprised with the Big Wallyworld Drying MF, only $8 if you can't wait or autofiber.com or pakshak.com is awesome, great people to deal with. Remember to wash it first and no fabric softener!
