FYI - Cheap Microfiber Towels

Hey guys I was at the local Big Lots (yes I show there on occasion, don't mock it till you try it). Anyway the have the Turtle Wax 3 pack Microfiber Towels for the low low price of...$2.50. They are the same ones that you find at autopart stores for $10 or so.

Just thought I'd pass along the deal!

2003.5 / Black/ Willow/ Spoiler/ Sunroof/ ....and nothing more

Not all microfiber towels are created equal. There might a reason they are so cheap.

Re: FYI - Cheap Microfiber Towels

good warning-- not all MF's are created equal.

I've tried the TW microfibers before-- the ones I have aren't bad and the edges won't scratch. If they end up being lower quality I'll use them for windows and interior instead.

If they end up being window/interior towels, will probably get a bulk pack of Meguiars Ultimate Wipes. (20 for $70-- can never have enough)

<a href="http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1123">Meguiars Ultimate Wipes</a>

Supposedly these new Ultimate Wipes are edgeless, and if you buy a 20-pack, they are only $3.50 each.

--Just picked up a 3-pack of Turtle Wax Microfibers at Big Lots! ($2.29)-- the edges are hemmed and have a warning on the back of the package about the edges possibly scratching. I'll use them for my windows and interior.

Re: FYI - Cheap Microfiber Towels

If you hung them to dry here, they would get too stiff with our hard water!
