View Full Version : Cheap Microfibre Towels
12" square microfibre towels currently 99p each @ Netto.
Softness-wise, they're on a par with the green Cobra towels I bought from Motorgeek last week.
Netto : it's Scandinavian for Value. And drunks buying cheap spirits.
dunelm have been doing 2 for a quid for ages. approx 12 inch x 12 inch size wise.
i posted up months ago about it.

I use them for engines, door traps and alloys :-)
tesco's have similar, look in the cleaning section (not the car section)

On a more serious note: do you have to be more careful with washing microfibre towels than other types of towels? I assume no fabric softner etc. Wash temp?
EDIT: just read Iain's post here (http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=87264) where he says: If the MF cloth does become dirty over time, wash in the machine, on 40 degrees, with no softener, powder only.
cheers

I got some of these on Friday - they are very good for the money. Very soft.
They're boxed up as car polishing cloths.

never heard of it, so ive just done a search,
"Brahma is about on the same level as the American beer Budweiser. Cheap, nasty, overly sweet, and with no hops flavor at all. The folks who have rated this beer highly must not like good beer because this stuff is the low quality pi*s which most of the world's beer drinkers laugh at. There are so many good beers in the world so why waste time on the Budweiser of Brazil?"

THe tyre shine is actually decent?
I've got one of those towels (a mate's mum got it from a 99p-stylee shop I think) and it's great. Beats paying £3 for one from Hellfrauds. ;)
large tesco's warrington, 3 x 12" towels for 89p - ideal for applying wax :D

Get yourself down to your local Costco for cheap MF's (quality too) they do bundles of 20 for a very reasonable price (can't remember right now) they even wash quite well too! I use them on door shuts, wheels, engine etc...

I went into my local £1 shop and couldnt find any, have to try a few more!
I had a look at the ones in tescos they looked ok for the money but quite thin compared to others.
yeah, agree wiv tesco's being thin, but for applying wax, i'm not fussed :D
I went in Aldi and they are doing two cloths for 1.20. One microfibre, which i did my wheels with, very impressed, and the second cloth, which is lsightly coarser for your windows. Fill ya trolley
