One of my loves of detailing is micro fiber towels. I guess you could say that I am addicted to them and am always looking to try new ones out. When I heard that Dodo Juice had just released a new towel called "Fantastic Fur" I wanted to try one out.



This is very thick and plush micro fiber towel. The nap is very thick and the towel kind of reminds me of the blue Eurow towels that were all the rage some time ago. The DJ Fantastic Fur towel is awesome for quick detailing.



The towel sells for $9.99 and is alittle pricey but it's up there with the Monster Fluffy's in terms of thickness. :bigups

It's all good. Just yanking your chain. I knew you couldn't have a car in your hands have scratches.:bigups



Plus it gave me another chance to use that funny *** fainting smiley.

You have a black Porsche, BMW or G35 and believe me, the $10 for a Monster Fluffy MF is well worth the investment.
 
a bit off topic here, i noticed you're using the CG Speed Wipe, do you use it straight or diluted ?



anyone else can contribute too ? thanks!
 
I still think paying $10 for a MF towel is a little crazy. I don't care how much your car can cost. I am in the business and if you found out what it cost and the profit markup you would be amazed.

The markup is not what you think it would be on this towel. If you really want to know why or anything else shoot me a PM.

I would love to hear the reasoning why the markup isn't what he thinks it would be...



IMHO MF's seem to be the most overpriced detailing supplies on the market. Unfortunately they are a necessity as well.

When I WAS working with Dan (I simply don't have the time to devote to starting a professional detailing program at this point) I was privy to the costs of the products. I can assure you that the marketup on this towel (from the supplier, and TMK, unlike other microfiber towels, the only place you buy this particular cut, nap, and blend of MF is from DodoJuice) is VERY small.



They are amongst the nicest towels I used, the price is high. In fact I pushed Dan to not stock these because of the small market up.



If you want to talk about mark up we shoud be talking about high end waxes (to my knowledge 2000 dollar waxes cost approx 60-80 cents to make) or claybars (about 55 cents to make).

Thats exactly why more and more companies are offering $200-300 waxes, HUGE profit margins. Your at home waxing your car and eating Rice Krispies for a week to pay for it, they are staying at the Beverly Hills Grande Royale thinking of the name of ther new wax as they sit by the pool drinking a Martini..PS Later that evening, the CEO of the wax company calls the front desk, says his rental needs washed and waxed. The butlers take it, wash it down and throw a coat of Z2 Pro on it.....
