COME AT ME BRO
Packaging: The MF did not come packaged in any kind of plastic protection. It had a cardboard style wrapper in the middle of the folded towel. I really gave it the eye when I was picking one out as to make it sure it didn’t look like it had a bunch of trash or debris in it from shipping or handling in the store.
Price: $6.84 USD.
Directions: The directions were on the backside of the cardboard wrapper. Pretty much just how to care for the MF towel, plus a little info on what the MF is.
The Towel: Made by Microtex (Calderon Textiles). They have some of the smaller towels at Wal-Mart made by the same people that I use for doorjambs and under the hood area. I was not expecting much considering I had already used the smaller MF’s and wasn’t impressed. It’s made in Korea and is a 70/30 blend. A big MF at 23.5” x 40”. It is super plush on one side, and on the other side it is a finer weave. It almost reminds me of a window cleaning towel on the non-plush side. I don’t know if it is made that way to clean windows or not, but it worked out fine that way for me. Plush side only on paint!! The edge is stitched in MF (I assume) as it passed the cd scratch test. I gave this a thorough washing out of the box with a little Woolite first (with vinegar in the rinse) and then again without detergent. It soaked up a LOT of the wash water. Dried it until it was almost completely dry, and then let it finish by “air drying.” I did a quick wash on my vehicle (Tacoma Double Cab) with the Four Star Wash, rinsed using the flood method. Not a lot of water left, so I got the Microtex Drying Towel and began drying off. I was amazed at how much water this towel was sucking up. After finishing my truck, I probably could have dried two more vehicles with this towel. It didn’t even feel wet!! Left no streaking or linting that I could see. I was very impressed with the quality of this towel. The one drawback I really don’t like is the huge tag that’s sewn into the hem. It took a long time to remove it with a razor and toothpicks. It was really in there good. But I say you gotta get rid of it. It’s so big and it’s hard. I would imagine it will mar the paint very easily. Remove the tag!!!!
The Verdict: My expectations were greatly exceeded after using this towel. I will probably go buy a few more, as it’s a steal at just under $7. Just make sure to pick them like you do the Eurow wash mitts. Go over them very carefully, as there is no “protection” on them. And don’t forget to remove that tag. For the price and the local availability, this towel is a “can’t miss.”
