Hi guys...while at Home Dept last night, I saw a 10 or 12 pack of yellow microfibers that was about $10. Seemed too cheap. There was an open package, so I was able to get a good look. They are fairly plush, very soft (to the touch), and about 16" square.



Anyone have experience with these?

Are they the eurows? Like costco has?
 
Speaking of local MFs, next time you're in Wal-Mart, also go to the kitchen and bath section. There are some decent looking, low nap MFs in packs of 2 ( larger) and 4(smaller) ( IIRC).
 
Bill...are these the multi colored ones??? I saw some in two packs in the Auto Section. They were Lime Green, Tangerine and Blue. 2 for $1.00
 
Pat, I don't think so, I recall them all the being the same color in the packs and the colors being khaki and darker beige.
 
Mat i have some and they seem to work good I used them for when i know i'm doing a two step polish I haven't seen any maring from them but you never know...
 
Costco has 3M Scotch-Brite MF's for the kitchen. It's in their cleaning supplies aisle. They have zero pile. I use them in the interior. I bought them ages ago before I had any MF's.

My thoughts exactly. But i dont think this is a good thing. WE should be very carful when selecting MFs. Lots of companys are jumping on the band wagon. IMO many of the OTC MFs are for household use. I'm sure some will work just fine, but me personly, I'm very selective. I dont want to start bashing MFs in stores but I was dissapointed with some of the "bargan brands". :o I should've known better!

Every "bargin brand" MF I have ever purchased is used for door jambs, wheels, engine, etc.

I save all of my Pakshak or and nicer MF's for the paint. Keeps my quality MF's lasting longer.
 
Clean-Rite is the maker of these towels. Distributed by Tiger Accessory Group. 80% polyester, 20% polymide. Pic below.



I also got some (what I consider) excellent blue towels, about the same size as above, but 70% polyester, 30% polymide from my auto body supply house. They recommended them, and so far, so good.



I cetainly would agree to use the besy MFs you can on paint, but at least than $1 each, there are lots os uses for these. (For removing wax, I still use cotton towels)

if you have a sams club near you, get the hometex light blue mf's instead. they are actually pretty nice and plush compared to all the other mf's that are easily bought, imo.... haven't had a problem with them yet. :xyxthumbs

Get them while you can, because I haven't seen any good mf in the local wally world stores out her for about 2 months or so. At one time, they carried a package branded "home trends" that were an excellent bargin, I have seen them in green and tan colors, but they haven't been in stores out there for a while. I entered my '87 turbo Buick Turbo-T in a car show a couple of weeks ago and was given a baker's dozen of brand new still in the sealed bag "Meguiar's" "ultimate wipes. Unfortunately, these are not quite as good as the old Meguiar's white mfs with the dark blue or black border around them, but killer for free. What a deal
 
I finally opened my package of the Clean-Rite towels pictured earlier in the thread (that I couldn't pass by at Home Depot that night at 12 for $9.99). I used them on the insides of the windows of my house (with some EO 20/20 :o ), and they linted like crazy. I'm washing them all now; I'll see if that takes care of the lint.



EDIT--BTW, the tags on these say "Tiger Accessory Group LLC, Made in China"
 
I purchased a package of these, but have yet to let them anywhere near my car. 10.00 for the package made them a decent deal for around the house (in fact, I used them to wipe down the walls of my sanded bedroom before painting. did a good job taking off most of the sanding dust).



They feel OK, but I dont think Id let them near the main parts of my paint. Maybe use them for door jambs and such.
