Default MICROFIBERTECH.COM?

Has anyone used their products before? The super car detailing kit looks like a good value (see link below).

I'm sick of using crappy Target/Walmart cotton towels on my black A4; they lack absorption and leave a lot of lint and tiny streaks. Can using too much soap leaves streaks as well?

Thanks for the feedback.<ul><li><a href="http://www.microfibertech.com/superPack.html">http://www.microfibertech.com/superPack.html</a</li></ul>

Default I bought that pack shortly after finding the detailing forum...

I've used all of the included towels and I love them. The only problem is I don't have enough of the smaller towels for things like glass cleaning, leather cleaning, etc in the interior. I love the big blue towel. I use it in conjunction with the water blade to dry the car and the towel still has dry spots on it when the car is dry. Excellent absorption and easy to use. The wash mitt works well too, although I need two of them too. One for top panels and one for lower panels.

I've not used any other MF for comparison's sake, but compared to cotton its a night and day difference.

I'd strongly recommend against washing with microfiber. Not enough pile.

Default Just tried them on new Ming 2.7t.....

with GEPC and P21S. Not difficult at all and the car looks great. The towels made it a lot easier. Good product

Placed 3 orders with them, no problems. Only bought the 12*12 towels. Great Christmas gift.

Default Very good quality microfiber polishing clothes.

Get the best polishing clothes they have...I think they have three kinds, the better the quality, the higher the price. Their drying cloth (waffle weave) is also very good. I'm not familiar with anything else they have.

Regarding the streaking with cotton, you're not using fabric softeners when you wash the towels, are you? If so, that's a no no!

One more thing to note, while MF may seem like the holy grail, there is one thing you should know. You'll have to hand wash these (or wash them in the washing machine without any cotton in the load), and you'll have to air dry them (or machine dry on very low heat, again, NO cotton with them!).

Default Can we start a groupbuy on these? :-D (edit)

The price comes down dramatically if we can order a case of those. If ordering by the case, we can get "AW" stitched on them. hehe...
