Costco Micro Rags/Towels....=oP

Just got back from Costco, without fail I always walk the Automotive isle (even thought it's small) I noticed their Costco Micro Towels are on sale, 36CT for less than $10= after automatic rebate at the checkstand. I use them for my Volks and under the hood then throw em away....not worth washing at that price! FYI

i jumped on this deal a month ago and just started working through these towels last week. the towels are bigger than the ones you typically find at autozone/kragen and are of decent quality. definitely a good deal

It takes two to clean/polish my Volks (clear coat removed) and by the time I'm done there's no way I'm going to put them in my washing machine, my wife and I have enough issues....

I have never had a prob washing costcos mf towels. I am a detailer I use them for Wheels, Door jams and anything greasy I dont wanna put my $5 dollar a piece mf towels to.

My ultra plush MFs are for paint only. And I use costcos like rags for grunt work.

It's pretty much thier standard deal.. They are always cheap, always in stock, and work great.

I've used them for years and my paint looks fantastic - especially considering my car is 6 years old.

It's my guess cause I don't assume anything but the quality should be close to the same regardless of where you live or shop. Like I posted I just use them to clean my Volks/glass so I'm not using them on my painted surface. They do a very nice job in those area I use em....

x2. I only use it if I know I'm going to throw it away after.
