Cool Just bought microfiber towels for less than 50 cents each..

Gotta love Costco baby. I just bought a 16 pack of Detailing Partner Microfiber Towels for $7.20 (+ tax). You detailing freaks with Costco memberships should take advantage, or make nice with someone who has one.

Sound like a good deal, but usually you get what you pay for.

Can you check the label and see if they are 100% cotton, or a cotton/poly blend?

If theyre 100% cotton I'll have to pick some up.

Hmmm....70% polyester....30% polyamide. Doesn't matter to me though. I'm not the type of person that would notice the small difference. In fact none of the microfibers I've ever purchased were 100% cotton and they've always done an impecible job as far as I'm concerned.

I use the Costco mf towels to dry the car after a wash and apply/buff the detail spray. They work great.

And in case of emergency, they can be used signal passing airplanes (they are BRIGHT yellow). :D :D

They also have 4-packs of sheepskin wash mitts. Don't remember the price but it was something like $3 for each mitt. Another great Costco deal for us 8 lovers.

Zaino recommends 100% cotton, but I've been using the Costco microfiber towels without issue

Costco rocks, I always spend too much in there though

You'd think Costco would sell cheap ****, because of their low prices, but I'm surprised at the high quality of their products, except their tire department (not the tires themselves but the low quality of their personnel.)

I have only used costo's towels on the interior of my car. 70/30 split is the best kind of microfiber, but I have picked up some higher quality towels for use on the exterior of my car. I'd rather spend a couple extra bucks than risk getting scratches from towels :|. Just my opinion though. Although they do work good on the interior and dash from what I have used them for.

I have used the Costco yellows since my girl was one day old and they are fantastic. I'd be more concerned about some of the cheap 100% cottons I have used in the past.
