Where does one purchase good quality micro fiber towels for cleaning/polishing etc...Someone posted a while back that many are just cheap Chinese junk, sold at Costco I believe, that do more scratching than good....I am willing to pay the price for some good ones...Also, is it possible to wash and dry these towels and use again when they get cruddy???...Thanks
I get mine from the local auto parts store. O'Reilly's. Not sure if there's better out there. I think you can wash and reuse them but mine get so black (from paint and grime) that I don't want them in my washer. I just toss them out.Originally Posted by opas ride
I do buy mine from Costco. I have not checked the label as to where they come from...maybe I should.
But they work okay for me (says a guy that usually has the dirtiest bike at any gathering)
And I do wash them, and they come out clean.
I get mine at Pep Boys Auto.Very very soft and I have not had a problem with them yet
Ride it like you stole it
Hopefully everyone knows not to use fabric softener with micro fiber towels. It will stop the micro fiber from whisking up the water when using to dry.
Mothers makes a real nice micro fiber towel that's available at most auto parts stores.

Miles, I have a package that is from Costco, made in China and are blue in color...I did a quick search on the web for info about Micro fiber towels and most sites say to make sure the ones you buy/use are made from "split" fibers as they are a much better/smoother product...I don't know what the Costco ones' are, but they do not clean as well as a couple of others I have, that came in a Mequires polishing kit, which just feel of better quality...No big deal, I'll go try an auto parts store next week....
Opas, mine are a golden yellow in color.
I buy mine from Sams Club. They are good quality.....................Dickie
Let it be known and let it be written, this is the best bike I've ever owned, and I ain't shittin!
