Some good buys there for sure. I’m in need of some 350ish gsm all purpose MF. I’m pretty stocked up on most of the nicer towels they have on clearance right now.

I felt like $3 was still kinda spendy for multi purpose towels, wheels etc. no?

This is great company to buy microfiber products from. I have used them for years plus shipping times are good.

Hey all, not to thread jack but towelpros.com had really good prices and was at my door about 3 days after the order. They have a bunch of stuff there.

To give you an idea of price, I paid just about $50 for...

10 380g paint towels
4 edgeless plush towels
4 glass MF towels
1 Drying towel.

The purple nality are good enough to use for wax removal. They are not as thick as Eagles, Everrest, etc. but sometimes I don't want a big thick towel. My Eagles are getting a bit worn so I thought I would try these.

I like big thick towels for rinseless that's why I got those awesome Everest 1100s.

Those are Chinese towels. I don't use Chinese towels on paint because they generally do not have truth in advertising and you cannot be sure they are 70/30 and not 75/25 or 80/20. Also, they are probably manufactured with slave labor. And not to get too political, but if you are using a factory in China to create your product, I'm going to do my best to buy from somewhere else.

I have also read that the Chinese factories are not clean. All Chinese towels warn to wash them first before use.

I use Chinese towels on interiors, tires, wheels, etc.

Picked up a few items myself. Some pretty good deals and if you spend $50, shipping is free too. 5 Everest 800 and a few Platinum Pluffles - large ones.

TRC eagle edgeless are great towels for compound/polish removal.

The best towel you can get for wax/sealant excess removal is the Microfiber Madness Crazy Pile. It's in a league of it's own.

That's not a 70/30 towel, it's a 75/25. 500 GSM. I probably wouldn't use it on my paint, but that's me. it is made in Germany, that's good.

Have you checked out the Everest 800?
