Microfiber

I am new to microfiber. Is it all the same? For example take a look at this link, are the prices and quality good here? http://www.microfibertech.com/

If you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got.

Re: Microfiber

ok i've ranted on microfiber on here before, so here we go again.... [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Some people dont mind paying 15 to 20 dollars for a small microfiber towel. I, on the otherhand, will only pay $2 for a MF towel, which is why i went to my local Meijer store (kinda like Super-KMart) and they had some TurtleWax brand MF towels, 3-pack for $5... they are only 70% polyester and 30% of that other material.
From my experience, the less polyester, the better the towel... I've had some 80%poly/20other towels and they arent as good as the 70/30's
So, in conclusion, if you want the most for your money, just buy the 70/30 Turtlewax microfiber towels from your local retailer
(white yellow and blue colors, came in a 3-pack rolled up)

Rambo:

Have you tried Turtle's 'ABSORBER'-like towel? It's a bit less than half the price of the ABSORBER and looks the same (without the plastic storage tube). Just wondered if it's as good.

Re: Microfiber

I use viper microfibler towels. They work great. But I did buy some microfiber towels from microfibertech, they work good enough. You can't beat the price.

Re: Microfiber

It's a synthetic chamois I believe. I know the Absorber is supposed to be good, but I just wondered if anyone tried the Turtle Wax version.

Re: Microfiber

I have the turtle wax absorber. Had since I had my i30. When I bought my G, July 4th, I bought an expensive chamois--and it sux!

Back to using the absorber. It's great, soft and really cleans the water up.
