    I use all PakShak WW & microfibers, all types :thumb: :thumb:

    Besides the WWs & Ultra-Plush already mentioned, the Ultra-edgeless is also a winner. It has a good bite for buffing polish & wax residues :thumb:

    [QUOTEApparently Eurow have some big fluffys as well, the main thing I want from a towel is ability to keep it's plushness for longer and pick up product residues quickly and easily[/QUOTE]

    The Eurow Shag Weave microfibers are an excellent product. However, I find they work best for removing compounds, polishes, wax, etc.; they tend to stick to the surface and drag during drying and wipedown sessions. I suspect their ridiculously thick pile is responsible for this.

    Polishing pickup - monster fluffy
    Detail sprays - micropak ultra soft, ultra microband or ultra plush

    the best of them all - Microfibre Korea A/V towel
    heaviest non drying towel I've felt and it spreads the detail sprays and other liquids around and allows you to work them into the paint rather than the towel suck all the product up

    drying - GLARE waffle, Micropak, Cobra
    The cobra's were nice but did not stay hydrophillic for very long

    Microfibre korea are currently making some better ones for our business

    We deal directly with them

    My all-time favorite drying towel is the PakShak Ultra-Soft WW or the Monterey WW (same soft fabric) from Exceldetail. If you like drying with a regular MF instead of a WW then try the Danase Water Devourer. If you want a very big MF to blot dry with try the Danase Extremely Large Water Devourer (26"x48"!).

    I could buy all my MF's from PakShak and not have a problem. I like his Ultra Plush for a general MF and as mentioned earlier his large Ultra-Soft WW's for drying. He has a MF for about any need and I see he is also carrying a new 530 weight MF.

    If you stick with a known vendor and buy good MF's you'll be OK. When the price looks too good to be true for a quality MF then it usually is, but there's nothing wrong with buying a big pack of cheap MF's to use on wheels, wells, jambs, etc..

    You will be very happy with your purchase, to me they seem to be the best microfibers and ww's out there. Lets us know how you like them after your first use of them.

    For Exterior I only like Danase Phat Towel. I have tried just about everything and this is the only one I like. I have downgraded all my other microfibers to grunge work which quickly leads to the trash. I would probably also like the Eurow but they are only 12x16. And the cookie monster is from Canada.. but I saw a thread that eshine may replace it with a plusher towel so will probably have to try that one.

    Although I don't use them much anymore I have a bunch of the Cobra Polishing Clothes and Sonus Polishing Towels. They have really held up well and they were my favorite before I found the Phat Towel.

    For Glass I have the Ultimate Microfiber Glass Towel from ADS. They feel really heavy and clean well but I must have a sharp edge somewhere because mine are all cut and ripped up.

    For Interior I use the striped all purpose vroom towels 15x24. I don't know why but they seem to stay softer longer than the orange vroom towels. I may be crazy though.

    For Drying I still use my Sonus Waffle Weave. I bought several and 3 years later they are still as good as new. So I have never tried anything else.

    The Worst Microfiber I have purchased were the White Dragon Fibre Perfect Shine Microfiber Buffing Cloth from Properautocare. I bought the $70 12 pack. Initially they are the softest I had ever felt but after one or two uses they harden up to the point that they are trash. BTW I have tried a few microfiber detergents and I have yet to find one that both cleans well and keeps them soft. When I bought my first microfiber someone recommended using woolite and someone else recommended using vinegar in the rinse cycle... and I haven't found a better solution since.

    I wanted to add that Justin's towels are amazing as well for their price! They are VERY similar to Patrick's. :thumb:

    Just got them today (along with a WHOLE bunch of other goodies!) and I must say, these MF's are very very nice. I only wish I had my car to test them out on! I have an 09 Challenger on order :applause2:

    I'll report back once again after I get to try them out!

    :applause: Sweet! You will love these MF's. They are really nice, colorful, completely scratch free, do not lint at all and very absorbent. The white ultra-edgeless MF's are really phenomenal at buffing off waxes and polishes. In addition, it is always a pleasure dealing with Ranney.
