Auto Spa Dual Sided MF Sale-FYI

JSFM35X · 07-10-09, 03:54

I picked up a dozen new MF at Advanced Auto Parts in NY. I went in to purchase a Window thing for reaching into the corners (did not have). They were having a sale on the Yellow/Gray MF towels with the black silky edge. I usually pay about 7 bucks but they were on sale for 4.99 each. They had the aquapel for $2/per but it was gone when I got there!

These are super soft and have washed well. 2 important things if you do buy these.

1. The plastic fasseners that hold the towel to the card will kill your finish. When I get mine I sit at the kitchen table and remove them in a systematic manner so as to get both sides of each 100% out. Then I wash them like I would all new MF to get out any store/shipping grit.

2. There is an auto spa tag on the yellow side I fold over so it never touches the paint. I have been toying with the idea of trying to cut it out but I am afraid if it get to close the towel will lint or unravel and if I dont get the whole thing, it will be a sharper edge.

Overall I love these and 4.99 is a great price for these.

I own about 20 of them the only other towel that is just as good is Autogeek Shamrock towel.

Im actually not too fond of the shamrocks. The quality definitely isnt there. The edges are horrible. Feel the corners, theyre like plastic, sharp plastic.

A good alternative is detailers domain Uber "No Name". I think in terms of weight its like 50grams less but theres no sharp edges.

Thanks for the heads up on the autospas.
