    I bought the white ones, and they work great. I went back to buy more and they only had yellow and blue. I have read somewhere on this site that colour can sometimes effect how soft the MF is. Is there any difference between the white, yellow, and blue Turtle Wax MF towels.

    I have blue Magic Towels and NO towels come even CLOSE to matching their softness, thickness and plushness.



    I humbly disagree with the notion that colored MF`s are stiffer than white ones and I have MF`s from 9 manufacturers.

    Thanks! I actually am comparing them now, and the white towels are noticably thinner and feel less plush than the coloured ones.

    I may have missed something, but I think the "color=stiffer" argument applies to cotton towels, not MFs. Something about the dye on cotton fibres or whatever.:nixweiss

    2K I have a few of the TW towels ..atually a good towel .. where they really shine is window cleaning. Wipe the inside of the window with a damp paper towel then dry with the TW MF.



    The TW towel is better and plusher than the Wal MArt ones an they don`t scratch either.

    I think TW MF towels are sold slightly differently in Canada than they are in the US. I`ve never seen the packaging up here that associates a colour for a certain job like I know they can in the US. I don`t know if they have slightly different towels in the US version of these, but I have never been able to tell any difference in feel/performance between colours for the towels I have.

    I`ve seen those there (I assume you mean Canadian Tire?) too, but they aren`t the Turtle Wax ones. I got some TW MF`s from Zellers, they seem pretty good. I got one of each colour, but I can`t see any other difference between them...

    Ya, sorry I was sorta in sleepy town at school when I posted that. It was Canadian tire. I tried them out, and they are nice. Are really soft, cotton cloths good for buffing off the wax good too?

    I own about twenty of these towels, got them at Zellers. They are pretty good quality towels. I have all three colors and I can`t tell the difference in softness or thickness.
