Which gives you a total of 4, right?
One for windows
One for removing SSR2.5
One for removing SSR2
One for removing SSR1
One for removing Pro Polish
One for removing your LSP
Seems like you may come up a little short. If you drop one, you will be even more short.
I have exaggerated a little, but I still think you should order at least 4 more.
If you decide to work on two cars back to back, you really don't want to have to wash MF towels before you can do the second one.

I'll pick up a few more in the future. The 3 MF towels I have are from Walmart ($7) and they are pretty good. I tested them by rubbing the heck out of blank compact disc to see if they would scratch...they didn't.
Once I confirm that they aren't leaving any scratches on my car...I'll buy more.

Are the Wal*Mart MF's you have the 6.5 square foot ones?
I have several of those I use with Poorboy's S&W. They seemed to become much more absorbent after they were washed a few times. They are too big for me to use for polish or wax removal.
Wal*Mart also has some smaller MF's that are about $5 for 2 as well as some that are about $5 for 4. The 2 for $5 look pretty decent, but I have never tried them or the cheaper ones. Most of my MF's are pretty good quality and were priced accordingly.
Wal*mart does have some MF's in their housewares section that are very low pile waffle weave that I bought just for use on windows. They were white and I don't remember the exact price. Less than $5 for 2.
I have found that keeping my glass cleaning MF's for that use only. (no wax), seems to cause less streaking of the windows.
If I were to do it from scratch agaim. I think I would color code all my MF's. Use just certain colors for certain product to eliminate any cross contamination.

Give coastaltool a shot..you can get the backing plates and counterweight dirt cheap.. If something goes wrong with the tool who will honor the warranty? Porter cable,coastal tool,or the sponsors of the forum? i Know AG honors everything they sell i'm not sure about PC's..I did purchase my PC from AG a year and its still running strong.Jason also honored my WG pads to a 7".5" and my BP .
 
My MF towels are the 6.5 sq ft ones...they are blue and they are in the Auto section of my local store.(made in China, of course).
I'm happy with them so far. I dry my car with them. I use very very little pressure drying my car(so I'm not 100% sure, yet if they'll scratch or not). I bought a cheap hand blower on ebay...it's gets most of the water off esp under molding etc. so there's not much water to dry off the car with the MF towel.
 
Sorry a little of topic..The towels today and products today brought steve to my attention..
today i have found a hidden gem amongst my MFs.. PBs super plush MFs next to my 16x24 cobras they my favorite towel out of every MF i own..

I have always like what steve has to offer the problem is when you move onto other items you don't get a chance to look back to your original products.The blue MF plush will make any user more then happy with this towel..

lol ..Joe, I think after meeting so many people over the years at shows and getting direct feedback, I see that people do try many assorted products but usually come back to what worked best for them. There are many bargains to be had out there in the world whether you are talking microfiber or pcs, or rotarys, but the bottom line for most people is what you can afford at the moment. :) Just remember that if you can't buy your pads, backing plates and machine at one place, like DetailCity(Troy & Sheila) or Autogeek, you might end up spending more for double shipping :cool:
