the jug of M gold wash was the only thing worth getting... [/b]</blockquote>
The ones I am talking about are white and noticably softer than most other towels. Super absorbant, too.

Have you tried Charismas or Wamsutta towels?

**lovesolderplymouths** · 03-06-2002, 12:49 AM

scott, maybe u and i r talkin about different towels then.

the ones i got also says del sol and it`s just bad quality. i`m certain it must be scratching my car .

can u check ur package? can u tell me where it`s made?

For towels you really need high quality 100% cotton made in USA stuff. Charisma/Wansutta/Martha-Stewart5star/etc.

I have much better luck in Walmart than in Target. Price is also better.

Just got some Vikings applicator pads in Walmart (2 for $1.69). They also have the non-cotton Viking mitts which is cheaper than the Del-sol mitts (both are non-cotton).

Never even heard of them. I usually just buy 5 pounds worth of bath towel blems from my distributer for $25.

I get Charisma`s cheaper than that at the Fieldcrest outlet locally.

Scottwax - Do you have a Ross or another first to second-quality store that gets overstock or slight blems from larger department stores? Check them out, Charisma and Wamsutta towels can be had for $4-6 a piece there. Very high quality towels.

Do you use hand towels, cut up bath towels or what?

**imported_killerjg** · 03-07-2002, 11:23 AM

Wamsutta working out great: :up Puter..

I`ve got a bunch of those del sol yellow MF towels. They are ok and don`t seem to scratch. But if you get them, wash them a couple of times before first use.

(Disclosure: current favorite MF is neatitems blue)

I didn`t see any cleaners/waxes that I typlically use, but I did find a neat 5 gal bucket, folding crate with a matching carry caddy that fits perfectly in the crate. They also came in cool colors. I got the silver to match my metallic silver 911. Trunk space is limited in the porsche so these items make it real easy to take my detailing essentials with me at all times.

In case you didn`t guess - show and tell was my favorite subject in school.

The blems I get are high quality bath towels-they last at least a year without serious linting, and they get washed probably 3-4 times a week.

The new detailer towels at Target are terry cloth, but much softer than their regular terry cloth towels, and the ends are hemmed so they don`t shred the way the towels I buy from my distributer do, because I have to cut them down since they are full sized bathroom towels.

Scott,

Dont know if these are near you, but you`ll get way better towels at better prices...

RH.. I have a Fieldcrest Cannon Outlet at a Vanity Fair Outlet near me. What is a good price that I should pay for the 100% cotton towels?

**Chuckmotor** · 03-11-2002, 07:51 PM

Royal Velvets are awesome! They are so soft and plush, but I only use them for drying. I use MFs for buffing. The Royal Velvets were $6 for a huge, soft, white towel at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
