microfibre cloths

it will soon be spring and time to do some polishing that (for me anyway) has taken a back seat over the winter. So I thought it would be nice ditch my old microfiber cloths that have been used and washed over and over and have seen better days, and get some new ones.

Any suggestions on where to get a nice pile of brand new ones that are the right quality and good value?

I got mine from Costco, around £15 for 36.
I can't fault them but you have to be a member.

I get mine from Ebay, plenty to choose from here:

Just added a 12 pack @ £2.99 from BM Store along with the missus’s shopping basket this morning.
Although I wash micro fibre cloths, I keep the washed ones for workshop use and the new ones for polishing.

Aren't they cheap, rather than inexpensive?

It's a good question by the Op and a good point above by 'Baxlin'.

I have bought 'cheap' too but find very quickly that little fibres come out after a few washes and they generally feel thin to handle.
Those fibres I mention are very small land you can only see these when the sun shines on or through your finish :eek:

Suffice to say that I don't think this has happened yet with the couple of more 'expensive' ones that I have been given. It is those that I tend to keep for the better finishing jobs on the car - you know those MF towels that feel lush and thick to begin with :drool4:

It is those better ones that you can use to remove the little fibres to but cheaper ones won't.....

The cheapies also will not hold so much moisture when using a mf cloth as a chamois either.

Just my 2p.....
It'll be interesting to read other findings..... ;)

Same here use them as dusters in the house and for the car, use them for inside the car too, bery good value.

Why not pop into Your local B&M store and buy a pack, then judge for yourself.

They look absolutely fine to me and I’ve bought hundreds of MF cloths over the years.

Try Idealworld or the Greased Lightning websites ; GL ones very good and don’t break the bank. For something special try some of the plush ones on eBay from specialist car cleaning/polishing sites.
