Sam's MF 12 Pack

Mmmph

Mmmph

Mad Detailer
I've been waiting for these...The Sam's equivalent of the Costco MF towels.



The Sam's shelf label listed them as "Unitex" brand, but I did not see this name on the package.



The package states:

Detailing Solutions

by Sunset Products, Inc.

12 pack 16"x16" towels



They're Yellow and made in China...70/30 blend.

Much nicer than the Concordia/Microtex towels.



All this for...$7.86 (That's 66 cents each)



Scratch test?

Passed



Linting?

None yet



Labels?

PITA to remove





Hmmm, mebbe I'll buy'em all up and sell'em on eBay for $14.99 each! :scared

Thanks for the pic. Our Sams still doesn't have them last time I checked. :(



Are they in the automotive area, or the cleaning supplies area?
 
They work awesome for me also. You cant beat that price anywhere. I have used for for anything from product removal to exhaust tips. They seem to work really for on everything. I did have to wash them a couple times first because of a really bad linting problem. I saw you didnt have that though. I tried them on glass first to see if there was a linting problem and it was bad. I wahsed them a couple times and the problem was gone.



Great value!!!!!!
 
I saw those the other day, but wasn't sure about em, so I passed. Decided to wait until I read a review on Autopia :) I'll be sure to pick some up next time I'm there though!
 
Yep...Auto section. My Sam's had infinite cases of them.



In Re Linting; I tested on glass. too. Actually, my CRT, which is loaded with static electricity and picks up lint like an electromagnet. No lint from this first batch I bought.



They are a major step up from the Concordia/Microtex towels.



Those labels, though...Yechh:angry





Long term value remains to be seen
 
those look identical to the Costco ones, except the packaging is different, they even have the same hole to feel the product :dunno:
 
I bet they are similiar to the costco ones, same package and everything. Even the hole like HotRodGuy said is there.



Does the towel tag have a company name on it?

The loop tag sayson one side:

"70% Polyester

30% Polyamide"



The other side says

"Rn #79536

Made in China"



I'd guess the Rn# is the run number of fabric lot/dye job.
 
I'll add that yes they do look exactly like the Costco ones I bought.



About the labels, they are very easy to remove. You just rip them off.



So far, I've been using them as polishing cloths and not much else. I put a few in my glove box to carry around, just in case I need to dust inside my car for whatever reason.



These things are so inexpensive, it's almost like buying a bunch of fancy rags. Oh wait, they are fancy rags. :)



I think I might pick up some more this weekend.

You took the words out of my mouth. When I saw them I made a mental note to post it on Autopia to see if anyone had used them yet.....sure enough, I forgot all about it when I got home.



:rolleyes:



:up :up :up

It's not easy being a trendsetter...;)



Behold the power of discount MFs!



For the record, I also posted about WalMart MFs first, too.

If I had a Costco near me, I'd have scooped Autopia on those, too!
 
I saw these but was a bit concerned about the Made in China label. Don't we want Korean fiber?



Or are these okay for general use?
 
Have you guys noticed any linting w/ either the sams club or costco towels? The batch I got from costco lints like no other. I wonder if I just got a bad batch, but you rub it on a cd and the cd gets covered w/ lint that's nearly impossible to pull off.



On a side note though, there isn't any scratching.
 
I get no lint from the towels I have from Costco. I have purchased 5 packs on different occasions and a couple different stores.
