Sam`s MF 12 Pack

**Mmmph** · 07-09-2004, 12:51 PM

I`ve been waiting for these...The Sam`s equivalent of the Costco MF towels.

The Sam`s shelf label listed them as "Unitex" brand, but I did not see this name on the package.

The package states:

Detailing Solutions

by Sunset Products, Inc.

12 pack 16"x16" towels

They`re Yellow and made in China...70/30 blend.

Much nicer than the Concordia/Microtex towels.

All this for...$7.86 (That`s 66 cents each)

Scratch test?

Passed

Linting?

None yet

Labels?

PITA to remove

Hmmm, mebbe I`ll buy`em all up and sell`em on eBay for $14.99 each! :scared

Thanks for the pic. Our Sams still doesn`t have them last time I checked.

Are they in the automotive area, or the cleaning supplies area?

They work awesome for me also. You cant beat that price anywhere. I have used for for anything from product removal to exhaust tips. They seem to work really for on everything. I did have to wash them a couple times first because of a really bad linting problem. I saw you didnt have that though. I tried them on glass first to see if there was a linting problem and it was bad. I wahsed them a couple times and the problem was gone.

Great value!!!!!!

I saw those the other day, but wasn`t sure about em, so I passed. Decided to wait until I read a review on Autopia

I`ll be sure to pick some up next time I`m there though!

They were near the automotive supplies and also on an endcap. They had probobly 40 boxes of them.

That`s where I saw them too. But I seem to recall them being over $8 for the pack.

Yep...Auto section. My Sam`s had infinite cases of them.

In Re Linting; I tested on glass. too. Actually, my CRT, which is loaded with static electricity and picks up lint like an electromagnet. No lint from this first batch I bought.

They are a major step up from the Concordia/Microtex towels.

Those labels, though...Yechh:angry

Long term value remains to be seen

those look identical to the Costco ones, except the packaging is different, they even have the same hole to feel the product

How do they compare to the cheap Walmart MF`s????

If they are anything like the costco version, it is like night and day.

**vinnymack** · 07-09-2004, 01:45 PM

I bet they are similiar to the costco ones, same package and everything. Even the hole like HotRodGuy said is there.

Does the towel tag have a company name on it?

The loop tag sayson one side:

"70% Polyester

30% Polyamide"

The other side says

"Rn #79536

Made in China"

I`d guess the Rn# is the run number of fabric lot/dye job.

I`ll add that yes they do look exactly like the Costco ones I bought.

About the labels, they are very easy to remove. You just rip them off.

So far, I`ve been using them as polishing cloths and not much else. I put a few in my glove box to carry around, just in case I need to dust inside my car for whatever reason.

These things are so inexpensive, it`s almost like buying a bunch of fancy rags. Oh wait, they are fancy rags.

I think I might pick up some more this weekend.

You took the words out of my mouth. When I saw them I made a mental note to post it on Autopia to see if anyone had used them yet.....sure enough, I forgot all about it when I got home.

:up :up :up

It`s not easy being a trendsetter...

Behold the power of discount MFs!

For the record, I also posted about WalMart MFs first, too.

If I had a Costco near me, I`d have scooped Autopia on those, too!
