    I bought one today but have not used it. I plan to use mine with S&W and will wash after every use. It seems like good quality towel but it`s not especially cheap at $8

    And welcome back.

    i thought i saw some similar ones on verious websites for $20. i thought i was getting a steal. i must be comparing with a different type of product. i tried it this am, but i didn`t use it till i had already chamoised the vehicle. i forgot i had bought it yesterday. obviously i was a little hung over this am.thanks dalmore let me know your results. oh btw what is s&w? im new here.

    Poorboys Spray and Wipe - a waterless cleaning product. It`s great. But I eat up a lot of MF because of it!

    I just looked the microtek again - it`s bigger than I thought at 24 x 40. I was thinking it was like 16 by 30 or so. I guess $7.90 is a good deal after all. I change my vote!!

    Interesting. It`s only $6.87 at our Super Wal*Mart.

    Every now and again Wally World can surprise. I will have to check out the microtek towel for that price.

    I noticed that these towels NEED to be washed first...there is some sort of sizing that prevents the towel from absorbing water!! ..even though it`s a drying towel!!??. After I washed it, it worked MUCH better.

    Folks, remember that what may be a bargain or great deal, may be more than you need.....24x40 is a huge towel ! I have found a 24x30 to be my ultimate size of choice !! Do any of you find you need to take special precautions while drying so you dont drag it ?? Just a thought...
    When it`s you car, every detail matters...........

    I have to remember to sweep the garage before detailing. Otherwise I get grit from the floor in my MF`s
