Waffle Weaves at Sam`s

[Rfulmer]

I found these at Costco today. I thought it wouldn`t hurt to try them out. I have them in the washer now and will let you know how they come out after an initial wash.



For just over $12.00 for 10 at 16"x28" I figured I could always use them for windows and such.



2 photos below.



(Edit: Got them at Costco, not Sam`s).

Right out of the package the Wal-Mart feel softer. But, these are larger (if that makes a difference).



I think they are more "Compacted" than the one`s at Wal-Mart due to being packed up tightly in the box they came to Costco in. After the wash I feel they may get softer.



Yes, Costco, I originally put Sam`s, but they actually came from Costco.....sorry about that. I frequent both and got them mixed up.

They do pass the "CD" test by the way....

What section in Costco did you find the WW`s?

One isle over from the clothes. It was an entire row of towels of all sorts.

please let us know how they work out on the paint...

After washing them and drying them on low heat I think they aren`t as thick when compared to the Wal-Mart WW towels. To me the Wal-Mart towels are about the same as my Meguiar`s Water Matnets and these from Costco aren`t as thick/soft as they are ( not that the Water Magnets are soft ).



For the price I feel they were worth what I paid and they should absorb well enough for wheels, windows and door jams at least. But, I think I`ll stick to better quality towels for drying and wax/quick detail removal.



My paint is about as smooth as I can get it and I`d hate to mess it up with some cheaper towels:

A little more info, here is the company that "makes" these. Their web address is on the tag of each towel.
