I've browsed through the descriptions on most of the microfibers in the store, and I just can't seem to find what I was looking for. My brother picked up some towels from another store and they are exactly what I am looking for, but I thought I would give AG first shot. They are boarderless and long nap and pretty thick. I liked the griot's microfibers, but they just aren't thick enough nor large enough for me. I was looking for something in the 16x24 inch size. If anyone has a recommendation for me, I would appreciate it.
 
Look @ the Wolfgang one super soft @ 460 gsm.
Just received mine so haven't used them yet. But the feel is softer than even MM crazies.
 
Thank you, that and the chinchilla were the two that caught my eye, I really didn't like the boarder on the chinchilla though.
 
BOA's from Corey are really great border less towels. He also sells MM towels that are top shelf. Also check out TRC for there edgeless offerings.

Chinchilla's are super nice! The Woobie is a nice edgeless, albeit pricey.
 
What are you looking to use them for? You don't need borderless for all applications. Let us know and we can point you in the right direction.


The best 16X24 borderless - long nap - thick MF I have used/own is MM Crazy Pile. I only use these for removing polish/compound or wax/sealant.
 
I was looking for them mostly for a final buff after rinseless washes and for polish/wax/sealant removal. I was looking at the crazy pile, but at 14$ each, I haven't been able to pull the trigger yet.

The 16x16 CP's are ONLY $10.99, $9.99 if you buy 3. Hay, if you buy 3 of the ones you're looking at they'll ONLY be like $13 lol.

2 nights ago I was minutes away from pulling the trigger on the 16x16 ones. But by the time I added them my cart the amount I wanted was no longer available. I took it as a sign lol. With that said, when they're back in stock I'll be ordering some because of all the fuss people make about them.

I recently ordered the Eagle Edgeless from TRC and so far love them, the might not be MM, but they're half the price. I ordered some border-less ones from MFT yesterday, they look the same as the TRC ones. Which look the same as the BOA's. They're all withing 20gsm of each other and in pictures I can't honestly tell them apart. I suspect in person they're all very close. Anyone used all 3 and can comment? Price wise there's not much difference. BOA's are a bit cheaper if you buy a 10 pack.
 
These aren't borderless but I like them a lot. Cobra Gold Plush 16 X 24. There are some good looking towels on sale right now. I would order some but I have plenty.



 
Ordered another batch of 16x16 Eagles yesterday. Really nice towels for the price.
 
do the eagle edgeless lint badly? i use the MFM CP regularly...and they lint a bit, but it's definitely tolerable on most surfaces. it's only really noticeable in certain instances on glass. best way to describe it is if you are using the towel to buff something clean and the chemical you are using makes the towels drag instead of slide, they will lint.

they are the best towels i've ever had but i've spent quite a bit on varying quantities of the various types (CP, CB, YFII and DMC) and if i can at least supplement the CP with something close that is a fraction of the cost, i wouldn't mind.

I got a small bit of linting from mine the 1st time I used them. I didn't follow directions and forgot to wash them before I've used them. After washing I didn't notice any.
 
MM make great towels , I use AGO's Artic White for final buff and DMC on my Black summer car and love them both.
 
MM Crazy Piles are the towels you are looking for. Other copy cat types lint IME. That being said, the best all around towels are the purple 600 gsm from AG.

I have tried the gold jrs and they just weren't really what I expected. I ended up getting some eagles (they looked really similar to the ones my brother has and the wolfgang one) and some 1100 everest towels to try. I will probably pick up some mm later on.
 
I have towels from AG and The Rag Company. Eagle Edgeless ( grey and orange ) Everest 800s they are great towels nice and soft but you're going to have to wash them about five or six times to get all of the lint out. But great towels after that
 
Anyone use TRC creature edgeless towels? I was just wondering if they are worth using
