Maybe I'm too tough on the towels. Just received griots wax removal towels and they have an edge AND a tag on it :shakes head:. I also feel like they grab onto my hand as I pull it across. thinking about returning them.

I haven't tried those....I bought the speed shine towels. I have worked commercial construction for 30 years, and believe me when I tell you my hands are like friggin velcro. I know as soon as i get near a cheap *** micro-fiber, they jump onto my hands like magnets, and I need the old lady to help pull em off... So these passed the test, And the tags were a little too easy to remove for me to bitch about. The edges are extremely soft as well, but They will retire to lesser duties after I recieve my new edgeless rag co towels...:excited: If the Junkman approves 'em, I'm in with both feet:tiphat:

This happened to me, and I'm in Texas :tup: Washed them yesterday and plan to make good use of them this weekend.

I also received a free Master Clean 12x12 yellow microfiber (not the waffle weave, unfortunately, which they were out of the large white ones when I tried to order)

It was one of these. Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but it feels like a good towel.
I did use the waffle weave and the Eagle Edgeless Blue this afternoon; both get my seal of approval. Used the Edgeless to buff off a coat of Rejex and it worked like a charm. Great towel, as you would expect from the Junkman's recommendation.

They are the same exact towel. There are only a few companies that manufacture South Korean microfiber so a lot of different resellers get them from the same place. This is no secret. All you have to do is choose the best price and service.

Fantastic! Thanks! :tup:

Junkman2008 03-11-2014 11:09 PM

Just a heads up, stay away from the double-plush white towels for now (the ones that are basically 2 towels sewn together and white in color). They are having issues with the manufacturing process since they retooled the facility. You will notice that they are not available on The Rag Company's website right now (listed as the 1400). There's a reason that they have been temporarily discontinued.

Ni55anPat 03-11-2014 11:41 PM

The "costco" MF towels are good for cleaning the interior or windows, i use them for that….or cleaning my exhaust tips..

Gotta love some good qualify MF towels for the paint though :)

Supermade 03-19-2014 12:10 PM

Are these towels good to use for car washing? Or just detailing?

I would get a "mitt" for washing :twocents:

Krazy.1K 03-19-2014 03:12 PM

I received mine within 5 days of ordering, they are good towels, a lot softer than autozoni's towels. +1

Using them to wash the car is the absolute LAST thing you want to do with these towels. That would be like feeding your dog a $50 steak every day. Watch my 2-bucket wash videos. They will help you a LOT.

Supermade 03-19-2014 09:20 PM

Junkman,
Thanks for the advice. I was just ready to wash my car tomorrow with these towels. Now I usually buy online for all my car needs, but tomorrow is my only day off and my only chance to wash my car until next week. Anyone recommend some mitts I can buy at a local store to wash my car?

This should be a video in dvd format every dealership hands a customer upon purchasing a car.

Now for some new news. The Rag Company has implemented a new shipping policy. Until further notice, everyday is "PIMPIN" FREE FRIDAY!" That's right folks, every minimum order of $30 ships for FREE every day of the week! Add to that, most orders ship priority so you get your towels super fast. Just to give you an idea as to how fast (for those of you who don't already know), here's one of my orders that traveled 1,885 miles and made it to my front door in less than 48 hours!!! http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/h.../surprised.gif

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/h...y_shipping.png

As if that ain't good enough news, they have also implemented a discount for all military, fire/rescue and police members! The details are posted on their Facebook page. Enter your respective code and receive a 5% discount on top of their already shockingly low prices, It appears that The Rag Company is in a "sharing the luv" mood so get to gettin' while the gettin' is good! http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/h.../2thumbsup.gif

Why aren't you the official spokesman of The Rag Company yet? It would seem like a great business move :tup:

That's an easy one. The company that I work for (the one I happen to own), pays me $130 per hour. if I work 10 hours a month, I can pay all of my bills. All of the remaining time is me time. That's why I'm able to be on the forums all times of the day and night. There is no way in hell that I will ever work for anyone else, but I will always help out as many folks as I can with information like this. :tiphat:

Lol, get it while the gettin's hot!

Got my towels in 2 days ago, busted them out for some polishin' with the new flex. these are the exact same thing(but in better colors) as the one's you find for 10-15 bucks a piece. Better than my pakshak edgeless because they are a touch thicker. They are even better than my Metropolitan Detail | Metropolitan Detail 1616 Edgeless Microfiber Detail Cloth | Bellevue | Seattle | Kirkland | Redmond which was my old standby value master. I also love that they come in orange which is much easier to spot any filth, in my eyes at least!

For quick detail, wax buffing, polish removal and wipe-down, you cant beat em.

Good lookin out Junkman, lovin them, gonna try and pick up some of them

Junkman2008 03-21-2014 05:51 AM

I was smart this time. I bought my towels BEFORE I told everybody about them. When I told everyone about the Zaino towels, I had to wait two months before they got some new ones in!

Supermade 03-22-2014 06:36 PM

Junkman,

Thanks for the advice. I actually watched your video and went that route. I was about to wash my car with some cheap microfiber towels skipping your two bucket wash, but then I watched the video on your alternative way to wash not using the two bucket. LOL! I decided to just let me car be dirty for a few days while I waited for my new wash mitts and Gilmour foammaster to come in. Just came in today. Tomorrow my Z will get the wash.

Btw, is it OK to use meguiars gold class in the Foamaster
