What towels and where to buy them?

I just recently (this past spring) lost my mind and bought a PC7424xp, 105, 205, 85rd, colli 845 and 915, glanz wax, AG HD (thanks alot walmart all I needed was more wax), etc. etc. etc.
Anyways all this time i have been using my Costco yellow towels for everything, I bought a couple of megs towels and they are the same as the costco towels just a darker yellow. What reasonable priced towels can you all suggest and where is the best place to buy them. I am just an enthusiast and like all of you I want better than I can afford, for less than I have to spend. Thanks for the help guys.:itsok::computer:

 

Best towels for the price I still cant find a better deal anywhere.

microfiber, microfiber towels, car care products, auto detailing, house cleaning, micro-restore, micro restore, df towels, microfiber

 

Ahhhhh every link leads to the same page! Lol maybe I'll try those towels out

 

Well I bought some of the yellow a dozen to be exact, and when the wife wan't looking I added three monsters to the cart and checked out.

 

Get the Pakshak Ultra Plush. They will ship flat rate USPS. If you log on to the forum you will get 10% off.


We would like to thank our customers for their patronage over the years. We would like to offer a special sale on our highly regarded Micropak micro fiber products. Thank you & Aloha! PakShak "Ohana" (Family)

 

Thats a good price for the Pakshak ones.

May have to pick up a package.

 

pakshak is the way togo although autogeek, detailer domain and chemical guys sell some pretty good ones as well. you could try these Microfiber towel store or Wholesale Importer of Microfiber Towels - Microfiber Car Cloth (Wholesale Pricing)

 

Poorboys World has nice microfibers. Just got a new one yesterday.

 

Pakshak all the way, don't even bother with the Cobras from AG.

 

In my opinion, you're wiping media should not be an area where you skip on quality. Keep in mind that this product is in direct contact with your paint. Another issue that you want to avoid is linting towels. It is very annoying to do your final wipe only to see lots of lint left behind, causing you to wipe more and more! I haven't tried every brand of towel or every towel on the market, but what I have tried and have had zero problems with - PakShak towels. I will be placing a decent size order to replace all of my paint/body towels with PakShak towels.

 

I've used Meguiars Supreme Shine towels now for about 4 years, I've tried alot of other brands in between, but I keep getting back to the yellow Megs towels. No linting and no scratching!

For drying after wash, I use the big blue towel from Valet Pro.

 

CG Fluffers are pretty darn good towels if you ask me! 24 of them in my collection.

 

Bringing back an old thread.

Has anyone tried these yet?

I've tried most of the ones mentioned, I like Pakshak the best, followed by Poorboy's DMT. I just got some new Cobra's with the rolled edges which are pretty nice and they are buy 3 get 3 free right now.

 

isn't this
MICROPAK 16" x 16" "Big Boy" Ultra-Microband Plush Micro Fiber Towel
and this
The Supreme 530 Microfiber Towel weighs in at a f

the same towells?

 

I want to get the CG fluffy drying towel and some of the Poorboys towels as well. I would also like to find a good 100% cotton towel for wax removal

 

I was wondering if they weren't the same as these:
Octane 530g Microfiber Towel

I realize that color scheme and weight alone are only marginal indicators but how many mills in Korea and the PRC actually make microfiber towels? I would be shocked if there were more than two or three in Korea and maybe another four or five in China. A great many of these towels must be coming out of the same factories. QC may be better for one towel versus another but I suspect that many towels are the same fabric or very close to identical.

 

I was wrong. It looks like there are at least ten suppliers for microfiber in Korea alone and many more in the PRC. How many of these are actually making quality detailing towels is a separate question but the answer would seem to be more than a few. It looks like a prospective U.S. vendor usually needs to deal with a trading company in the manufacturing country. The would be buyer supplies some specifications, the trading company sends over a bunch of samples and you place an order. Minimum orders seem to be in the 1,000 to 5,000 units range but I'm sure you can negotiate better prices with higher volumes.
Based on my experience in another industry this relationship is not necessarily trouble free, especially if you are a smaller buyer - sometimes the shipped product is different from the sample or the QC is bad so only a portion of the shipment is saleable. Small buyers don't have a huge amount of leverage or recourse.

 

I think most places buy mf by the shipping container (20 x 8 x 40 ft) otherwise you will pay a lot more in shipping expenses to receive as partial. It takes about 5 to 6 weeks to ship via the least expensive method (what we call slow ship) from the far east. It depends on point of entry.
