Micro-fiber Towels......

Where do you guys get your micro-fiber towels? You guys prefer the big discount stores like K-Mart/Walmart or are there some online sites you guys prefer?

i'd say the target vroom towels aren't bad, but i'm not sure how long they'd last before they start scratching

if you take care of the quality ones, they won't scratch. mine have gone through well over 30 washes by now, and are all going strong. Mine are from chemicalguys which i forgot to mention

get the Chemical Guys 530XL. best towel i have ever used... and their Waffle drying towel is good too. (same towels as PakShak and Detailedimage.com)

also the Detailer's Domain towels are good. they have a new towel which is Thicker than the 530XL!

Cobra MF is crap, mine don't absorb anymore after 2 washes...

Vroom MF is good for wheels and engine bay

yellow MF from costco is crap, also won't absorb after a few washes, and will mar paint.

I have all both CG and DI waffle weave, but I can confidently say that the DI one is significantly thicker and does a better job at drying.
