Red face LARGE Microfiber purchase nearing....opinions please.

I really dont have that many microfiber towels in my arsenal, and as much as I detail, I need a LOT to get me by. Whatever I end up getting, I may end up buying as much as 40 or more. Does any specific brand & type come to mind, if YOU were to do a large MF purchase? TIA

Elite Microfiber Towel (16"x16") from http://www.microfibertech.com/ I use them for everything. They are somewhat similar to Sonüs Der Wunder Buffing Towel which is superior but much more expensive. I also have Microfiber Glass Towel (16"x16") form microfibertech.com good for windows, but windows only.

I like Pakshak and Erie microfibers.

For a big order get the 18 for 15 special through exceldetail.com. I use those all the times and they are dirt cheap.

I was looking for some premium MF's the other day and found them accidentally while searching for a new Menzerna supplier.

Sam's Club. They sell a 25 pack for just over $11. It's been discussed here before and the consensus was that they're pretty decent. I just picked up my second pack.

For quality, I’d go with PakShak or Excel.

Chemical Guys’ microfibers are quite nice, very reasonably priced, and come in multiple colors (I like to color-code towels by application).

If you just want as many towels as you can get ADS’s house brand are absurdly underpriced and far nicer than they have a right to be.


PC.

I have four kinds

--WWs for drying (various sources)

--the Elite from Excel Detail (great for removing polish, LSPs, great service, too)

--the Ultra Plush from Microfibertech (look like and are priced like the Attention to Details mentioned above)

--a pack from Sam's Club (when I don't care if the towel gets so grungy that I don't even want to wash it).

Nope, different towels. The Attn. to Details towel is thicker and plush on both sides similar to the Pak Shak towels.

I dunno what the Ultra Plush is from MFT (the only towels they have now are the Ultra and Elite), but the Ultra Plush from ATD look very similar to the MFT Elite--SpoiledMan, you still say nay?

PS Can you pick your colors at ATD? I don't see where you can.
