Anybody ever bought these and had good luck with them? They look just like CG Monsters and seem very soft and plush. Not too much nap so it looks they will be good buffing towels. Thanks.



They also came with an orange wash mitt that is very soft but doesnt have enough strands it seems like.
 
haven't tried the new ones, just the older bright yellows, which for me pass the "CD" test.
 
I use the yellow Costco ones and they're great. Haven't had any problems with them. Just take car of them properly and they'll last.
 
I don't have a problem with the Costco yellows–except they do give off a very fine lint–more like a dust, even after repeated washes. However, I've found the same to be true of fairly more expensive towels too. I would say the Costco yellows get an unwarranted bad reputation.
 
I have to be honest. I bought them 3 or 4 months ago and just

used one yesterday. I didn't like it. It was a little too hard for me to buff the car

with one. I still have them sitting on the shelf where they will most likely

stay till they rot.
 
The yellow MFs from Costco left major lint on my glass. On a sunny day it looked like glitter. It was very hard to get off.



I thought they might be okay after washing. I was wrong. More "glitter". No mas.
 
The yellow Costco towels from a while back are from Eurow O'Reilly Corp. Not sure exactly what they are now. They have been pretty good so far.



Thx.



See ya. :wavey
 
if i'm not mistaken, you are talking about the three thick microfiber towels with the muppet head wash mitt IIRC. in anycase... as far as general microfiber towels, the yellow ones lint too much IME, and the sams club (proforce) are much better (softer and a tad plusher)...
 
Just offering my two cents on the bright yellow MFs from Costco.



They're great for everything except glass, they're absolute rubbish on glass as they leave lint which is hard to get off even with another quality MF. I've finally succeeded in removing all traces from both my cars, but it was a headache. No matter how many times you wash these MFs, they continue to leave the lint on glass.



I'm not into OTC products, especially after these Cotsco MFs, but some glass-specific MFs I picked up from Autozone seem to do a good job.



I'll leave the Costco MFs for other uses on the car, I have 30 of them after all.
 
Mine still do it after a few years of washes

Yellow Costco MF's are perfect for door jambs, interiors, engine wipe downs, but I don't use them on paint.

Exactly right.



We just bought a new package of these from Costco. They sure are soft when brand new, but they don't stay that way after a few washes.



They are made by Eurow, and say "Detailers Preference" or something like that on the package.



The price is certainly right, as long as you don't have unreasonable expectations of what they can be used for. We use them for cleaning around the house, and, as you say, door jambs, wheels, and interior.
 
i've had linting issues with the yellow microfiber towels (they stopped carrying the ones from eurow a long time ago, unless they recently started carrying them again) from costco and will never buy them again...

I have to say that these new ones I just bought might be a little better. They clearly indicate that they are made by Eurow. They are softer. I compared them to the old ones, and they look very, very similar, but I can't tell if the old ones were also made by Eurow. :think:

nope, the old ones were not made by eurow but were yellow in color as well...
 
I use diaper rags on paint. however I had great success with the costco mincrofibers for everything else. I would never use a microfiber on glass. A good glass towel is a surgical towel. Thats just my opinion
 
I use them because they are so cheap.



I like them. They seem pretty soft. But, I haven't had mine for too long.



what towels would you suggest for the paint instead of these? i know some of you guys like vroom... but when I was at target today I saw that there were a bunch of different kinds. So, what criteria do you look for in a microfiber towel?



I bought a LOT of those shamrock cobras also, but they are currently in the mail.
