None For Me, Thanks...

Only read it quickly, but these are an 80/20 blend. You'll be better off with a 70/30 blend.

Can't tell anything about them from the description...Buy em and try em.

You will never know unless you can touch one and feel it and test it out.

I'd feel safe buying these just based on the description...

Micro fiber is plastic (What a revelation!). One strand of Micro Fiber is several times smaller than a strand of conventional fiber (and what exactly is conventional fiber?). How does it clean? A microscopic plastic wire (like a cheese cutter) (now THAT'S what I want touching my paint)
The adage "you get what you pay for" holds very true when it comes to MF towels. Stick with CMA, TACSCAR, or YoSteve.

Funny post, jimwh .

I agree with jimwh, there are not too many more "good finds" to be had as far as paint-safe detailing towels. I know there are a few of us who have been investigating other sources of towels and you can bet your PC that the current towel sellers are always on the lookout for better buys . . . I'll stick with MT's and Neatitems.

However, let's not forget that MF is great for a lot more than paint stuff. The cheese cutter cloth might be good for routine dashboard cleaning or glass cleaning . . . but there are cheaper ones to be had for those uses.

Good find?

It doesn't look like it. You can get the neatitems 15 x 15 towel for $4.95 each if you buy 5 or $4.45 each if you buy 10 and no shipping charges. You'll know you're getting good 70/30 towels.

If you look at $3.99 cheese cutter towel you have the price of the towel plus: QUOTE]Handling fee is $1.00 per box shipped (not per item) plus UPS shipping charges.[/quote] Looks to me like you'll pay more per towel by the time you pay the shipping charges and the extra handling fee.
