Cool! They look great and I love the color. BTW, does anyone know if we autopians get a discount and if so, how do we get it?

**-KGB-** · 04-25-2006, 01:15 PM

Lol poorboy offer a discount, yeah right.

You would get one at any vendor that offers them and an autopian discount.

**Spilchy** · 04-25-2006, 01:26 PM

$4 a towel plus shipping? That`s not such a deal.

You can get the exact same towel at DetailCity with a 10% discount.

Also look at the package pricing for the Ultra Plush MF`s here http://attn-to-details.com/store/ind...ndex&cPath=1_8

Ranney at PakShak also offers the towel with an Autopian discount.

well KGB try this on for size. Poorboys were the first supplier to EVER send me a free high end towel and MF applicator pad ($10 value?) with my order of SSR and EXP.

makes paying $10 for shipping easier to swallow.

p.s. Spilchy,

I use the SOnus towels Der Wunder Towels as well but they aren`t similar to this style.

I plan on using DWTs for products requiring a less plush towel like FK 425.

Also Meguiar`s sells a towel that looks very similar to the Poorboys but its not all similar in quality. The Meguiar`s is good but not as good (I had threads catching after only a couple of uses).

Standard operating procedure with Patrick at Excel and Scott at SMP a lot of times

I think we`re pulling hairs here. With the competitiveness now (which is good for us consumers) we`re all in the same ballpark within a couple dollars or so with our towel sources. What makes or breaks it can be the shipping charge.

I`m not a fan of the Meguiars Towel. That PB towel is MUCH better. I removed my Sonus comment because my math was wrong :p

Try our sponsor Fiber-Works. Although not silk edged, I LOVE this towel for QD ($3.83 a towel for a 3 pack - $11.50. Free shipping over $50) http://fiber-works.com/product_info.php?products_id=28

I agree and I`m sure someone has a better deal for me! (I really liked that Mega towel )

But I`ve been ordering from Autopia Car-care, Autogeek, and a few others for years and never got a full size complimentary something.

p.s.

Finish Kare deserves some praise for low shipping. $5 on a $50 order on Fedex ground.

**EBPcivicsi** · 04-25-2006, 01:39 PM

Not sure, but I just ordered 40 of these.

Buy them from Danase and recieve the 10% off that way. I have used these towels and they are great.

**-KGB-** · 04-25-2006, 02:38 PM

Either way I do not care for poorboy himself and his resistance to help those that support him.

**-KGB-** · 04-25-2006, 03:02 PM

Oh and thanks to the coward that just left me negative karma: "Go complain at Detailers Club - no one here cares what u think of Poorboys"

I knew that was going to happen just like everyone else jumped on someone else throat when someone posted something against Poorboys. What is with this forum? Since when can you not post an opinion on something?

**PakShak** · 04-25-2006, 03:08 PM

The new Poorboy`s towels look great! I had the opportunity to review one and it is a good towel.

You can`t have enough micro fiber towels.

With Aloha,

Ranney

**racingbeat** · 04-25-2006, 03:25 PM

well I gave you good Karma to even it out.

I agree opinions should not be mocked. No one opinion is more valuable than another. People need to understand this before they get all hot under the collar.

**jmsc** · 04-25-2006, 03:27 PM

These new Poorboy`s towels. Its hard to judge on a picture, but:

Are they thicker and more plush than the White Monster Fluffy`s?

Can anyone compare the 2?
