Microfiber detergents: Mirco-restore vs. Pinnacle

Does anyone have experience using one or both of these micro-fiber detergents?

Mirco-restore microfiber detergent (32 oz)
Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator Microfiber Detergent Concentrate (16 oz)

Both are about the same price, but the Pinnacle is half the volume of the Micro-restore. From reading most description / usage directions for both products, they work out to be about the same number of "washes".

Alternatively, what do you use to clean your micro-fiber cloths and buffer pads?

Thanks.

 

I'm a cheap prick (although I prefer the term "parsimonious") but all I use is liquid detergent in hot water followed by an extra rinse cycle with about 8 oz of vinegar for the mf's. The pads I just got one of those pad cleaning bucket things...got it when AG had their 15%/free shipping sale; although I have not used it yet...others here raved about it, that's why I pulled the trigger on it.

 

i have micro restore and found my microfibers much more absorbent and softer than using reg soap

 

THe pinnacle one is one of the worst MF washes I have ever used.

I currently have CG and MR

 

micro-restore is better, I've used Pinnacle and it worked the same as micro-restore for me. Saves you money too

 

Thanks for all your replies...

I guess I will wait for eshine to restock the Micro-restore... I hope by that time, the clay deal is not over yet... or before members on the forum cleaned out their stock.

 

Hey I hate to be "that guy" who looks like he's selling you a product, but after washing all my microfibre with 4 capfuls of microrestore in a medium load, I really really found that:

a) my MF is more effective... including a waffle weave that I thought was dead after being washed in lots of regular soap and water

and

b) really cheap to use and get more of. AG has them on sale if you have a big order you want to make.

 

i ordered some from cg

 

deff agree on A

 

I have a gallon of the CG MF Wash and it's so far very much impressed me.

 

Microrestore is what i use and i love it....a gallon is on sale at AG for 25 and the CG wash is 25 as well...how could you go wrong with CG though?????? I plan on trying it next, not cuz im unhappy with MR, but just cuz im curious

 

Mendoza! I only just found out that I'm supposed to wash my MF in HOT water. I've been using Woolite in cold water and it seems to do the trick, but I'm gonna have to try the MicroRestore with hot water now...I'm so embarrassed, LOL.

 

Micro Restore for me!

 

Thanks again for the recommendations to the Micro-Restore... I avoided the Pinnacle detergent.

I almost ordered a 1 GAL from the US, but not before messaging eShine about their restocking time. And he told me... will have it in stock in one day. And to my surprise, eShine now has the 1 GAL too!

With the clay deal, new Optimum products, and pick a few odds and ends here and there... even got free shipping!

I tell you... this site is EVIL.

 

I have the Pinnalce microfiber detergent, it is not bad but I am sure it is not worth the extra when comparing it to microstore, when the Pinnacle bottle is done I will probably just order a gallon of microstore

 

I am spot on with you. Just don't use the detergent with fabric softener in it!
I wash my pads like I do my rags, but I use dawn instead of detergent... Works like a charm.

 

Stick with Micro Restore. I thought the Pinnacle stuff was pretty good until I found MR. Been using MR ever since.

 

I agree of course P1et and I are impressed by a lot of the same things....not that that is a good thing!

 

I am trying very hard to come up with a dirty joke here, but it's 10:54am on Saturday morning and I'm waking up like a DUTCH WHORE!!!

 

Damn bro you got me! I see it says waking up like a Dutch Whore....I thought it said with a Dutch Whore! I was about to give you a big :thumb:!
