Does this ring a bell with anyone?



One of their reps dropped several samples a few days ago.



A few of these products are really `revolutionary`..



He only sells to mass merchandisers. Any resellers here recognize the name(s). PM me if you want.

Jim, that is the name and manufacturer on the large blue (about 24 x 36) MF that is sold at Wal-Mart. It`s a 70/30 blend made in Korea, not a bad towel, but not really impressive either. I thought it may be a good towel for drying, but a WW from Patrick or Ranney will do a better job, IMHO

Only those with a W@lMart, T@rget etc. nearby. I think mine actually reads MicroTex, but the Calderon name is unmistakable.



A search of either name will yield results of familiarity.

Ha! Jimmy-that`s just down the street from you! (Guion Rd., not China). ;)



I have a few of their towels and consider them in the medium+ quality range. Their MF Mitts are some of the best I`ve seen, but haven`t seen that many.

I disagree the LARGE WM towels are not bad.They are not as good as Pak.Pat/Ranny but will get the job done.A few weeks ago on this site they ripped the WM towels but I think the little ones are good for door jams and under the hood.the large WM blue towel did not scratch the cars I used them on and removed product(not the best)but did the job

Which mfs seem to be the most durable and remain safe enough to use on paint after repeated usage and as time goes by? WalMart? Patrick`s , Ranney`s ,etc? All or some?

I don`t think anyone in this thread said they were bad, just not quite up there with Pakshak, etc.
