Yes, those will work fine. That was the guy I was thinking about.

When is it time to get rid of a microfiber towel. I assume you can wash them but how many times can you wash them and they still work properly? How soiled should a MF towel be before you get rid of it?

Really a MF shouldn't get soiled most all of the contaminates should me gone after the wash. I think the big thing is having a selction of towels for different purposes.

That totally depends on the towels too. Those cheap China towels look like crap after the first wash. A quality MF towel if washed properly will last for quite a long time. None of your MF towels should ever get very soiled. If they do, you're using them for the wrong thing or on a dirty car.

If he does, I'll fix it. I've already fixed one Mustang that was washed with a Brillo pad...

They were out of stock when I posted my review (I found out later). Outstanding towels.

Actually scotch pads, you can get them in bulk, and in different grades for cheap.

Has anyone tried SoCal Shop Guy's Plush Microfibers? I'm trying to decide between SoCal Shop Guy's Plush Microfibers or the New Adams Double Soft Microfibers, its a 4-to-1 price ratio (4 SoCal's to 1 Adam's).

I have a few Griot's Garage speed shine towels. They feel amazing, but are made in China. That makes them garbage?
