    Towels Towels?

    I am in search of some towels. Kind of bland question right? Well I need to know what are the BEST CHEAPEST NON LINT towels to clean inside a car. Also how do you guys wash them. I also need a couple microfibers and a waffle weave. I just bought a micorfiber mit from target actuall 2 and they do a awesome job on the outside. I guess I could use them on the inside but it would be weird?

    thanks

    The best, cheapest MF towels come from Costco. $11 for 16. They are decently made, fairly thick and very soft. I use them for wheels, door jambs, etc. They work great.

    I use MicroRestore to cleam my MFs. A bit pricey, but it works well.

    Regards,

    Dan.

    whats a better towel a 70/30 or a 80/20? There are quite a few choices on ebay for under 15.00 shipped for like 12 towels

    I bought some of these MF towels from winner`s circle detail for $1.85 ea

    Not as plush as The Miracle Towel from Autogeek or The Magic Towel from CMA (IMHO the same towel) but very soft & they`ve held up well after many washings.

    I wash warm with Woolite, rinse cold 2x & hang to dry
    There`s a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    Sorry, but I bought them locally. I don`t see them on the website.

    Regarding the composition, I`m not sure what is best. I believe it has more to do with construction.

    I bought some Poorboy`s Mega-Plush towels from Danase for 3.00/towel. I also bought some 16" Velvet Smooth Glass Towel and some 21 x 36 Velvet Smooth from Poorboy`s (Steve). All these towels seem to be of exceptional quality. Cost a little more than some other, but IMHO it is worth it. Not sure how they hold up to washing because I haven`t used them yet.

    would you be willing to buy them and ship them to me as a alternative?

    The $1.85 towels from Winner`s Circle are very high quality and on par, or slightly better than, the Cobra towels that sell for $8. Definitely one of the best deals around. The waffle weave for $5.xx is a great towel as well, even if it is on the small side.

    Just go to Target or Wal-Mart and get a couple of 5-pack microfibers. They`re not the greatest quality but are perfect for grungy work.
