MF towels are getting cheaper - 09-15-2007, 06:35 PM

It must be getting cheaper to produce MF towels .
A friend of mine found these mf towels 16"X 16"and 8" X 16" both in a neat package for only 99 cents!!
So I asked him to pick up 10 more for me,they seem to be of above average quality,very thick/plush well made towels.

They look like "loose fiber" towels, rather than looped fiber. I bet they will lint like crazy.

Also, remember, you get what you pay for. They may be fine for "grunge" work.

Good luck with them.

Cheap = quality
Inexpensive = price

If they work well for you, that's all that matters. They do look like they would lint an awful lot though.

I just check the other one I have and its also "loose fiber"but they will come in handy when using S&W for the first wipe to remove dust and dirt and only will use the good quality ones for the real work.

Where did you find them?
I don't really have any interest in them for the vehicles, but they might be something my wife would use around the house.

They might make their way this far south.
We have Dollar Store, Family Dollar, Dollar Zone, Dollar General, and probably several others that I'm not remembering.
Chance are I will never see them and my wife will just have to put up with the old t-shirts I make her use now.
And if you believe that crap, I have a bridge to talk to you about.

Yikes! Please don't use cheap towels to remove dust and dirt... even if you are using S & W. Use HIGH QUALITY towels on your paint finish!

I just picked up a pack of them from Sam's club. I got about 24 for like $10.00
I thought they were going to be cheap as soon as i opened the package, and the first few wipes some lint came off, but after that, they worked fine. No complaints.

Costco has some .. you get something like 65 of them for 15 bucks and i did the CD scratch test with them and they work great, just as good as the more expensive ones I've used. so i bought 5 packs 5 months ago, they work absolutely wonderful. No need to fall for the gimmick price!
