Agreed. I use these on really finicky and soft paints. WELL WORTH the $.

Received this today. So excited to try them out. Tall about quality MF towels.. This are great.. The orange one is CarPro BOA. Pretty amazing, and I thought I had good towels.. Drymecrazy is so soft and huge... The black one is for wheels and it feels soft too, thou its not plush

You must also be a big fan of not caring about your car.

Never used those. I used these soft blue ones from GG and had pretty good experience with them. They don't compare to higher end MF towels but for budget towels they were nice.

It's already been backed into on the eight day I had it. This is why we can't have nice things.

After I wash my MF towels I always check them by hand t make sure they didn't pick some small particles up in the washer. Sometimes the MF towels will hold onto random foreign bodies that are very small.

Got 10 of these towels, they are incredible. Thank you for the link! I might have to get another 10 of them!

Works GREAT for quick detailing, best results thus far for me.
