If you`re buying in bulk qty`s I`d think price would be the main concern. Have you negotiated pricing and terms with these suppliers?



All three offer excellent products. The product diffs between them will be minor.

You might want to check out this vendor too:

Good discounts on quantity (WW`s as low as $3.25 each) and a discount for orders up to $250 using coupon "Autopia".



Good luck! :)

A.K.A. Patrick at Excel Detail also has some nice MF`s at good prices:

There are several good MF vendors out there, you should order a sample selection from some of them and see which ones give you the price/performance that you`re looking for.



For doing doorjambs, wheels, etc. save some money and buy some cheap ones from Wal-Mart.



The Autopian price list for pakshak is listed in this thread:

$72.00 for six (6) – 25†x 36†WW MF towels (light blue)



$14.00 for shipping and handling via USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation







So the total cost of your quote is $108.50 shipped to you anywhere in the USA.





PakShak the only vendor I have exchanged emails with and that is what they had to say.

Can you order through the PakShak website and get Autopia pricing or do you have to e-mail Ranney?

I just emailed pakshak and Ranney replied with the pricing im assuming you would email him first, he responds very quickly.

Pakshak is somewhat pricey normally but Ranney is offering superb deals for Autopians now.



I think their MF is simply the best (the ultrafine is the absolute best stuff I have found) but I use several vendors for my collection..also good is Sonus from Autopia, anything from Wayne`s Towels, and PB MegaPlush.

You`ve got to ask for the Autopian discount to get Ranney`s "knock your eyes out" pricing !

For cheap MF towels for wheels, engines, door jambs, etc., try Costco. I bought a package of 16 today for $11. I understand that they have lots of lint, so wash them several times.



Regards,



Dan.

How about ordering a few from each vendor and then basing your decision on who you feel provides the best quality and service? If you are going to drop some serious $$$ on towels, you might as well try as many as you can.

"try Costco. I bought a package of 16 today for $11. "



Yes, I use these as well given the low cost. I think the quality is great for the money if used on low end jobs.

Try them all and decide which ones you personally like. You can never have enough MF towels.
