    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    Normally an Invisible Glass fan but I loaded up on that Sprayway cleaner, thanks. Just saw Rag Co post a labor day sale with lower prices and a 15% code to go on top of it. Looks like it applies to their Optimum products stuff too.

    Micro fiber or 100% cotton?

    The Costco ones aren't bad at all for stuff like door jambs, engine bays, interior surfaces & the like. I just wouldn't use them on my paint, but you'll see plenty of people that do anyway. While I know the Costco ones are Chinese made, I reeeaaaaally doubt they're 70/30. I'm positive that...

    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    Just saw over on reddit that trc has eagle edgeless towels on sale going for $3.50 apiece. (Normally about 5 bucks each)

    Chemical Guys Products?

    I have Chinese towels I actually like quite a bit too, I just really like my Koreans, even if they cost a little bit more. I definitely agree with you about the hype thing, too...it's just obnoxious at this point and not really educational in the slightest from those guys.

    Chemical Guys Products?

    Considering I have a lot of the 70/30 Korean Edgeless from TRC and the 80/20 Korean Edgeless from MFT, these new CG towels look similar and they do say that they are a 70/30 blend. Still not sure what the GSM is, though, as CG never seems to list that info. What they don't state anywhere on the...

    Incredibly Cheap Finds

    Some might've seen it in the microfiber thread, but TRC is having a 20% off sale which doesn't seem to happen too often. I picked up over 30 towels when I normally only get about 10. I'm watching MFT in case they having a spring sale too.

    Microfiber Towels

    Pretty much why I usually buy from TRC too, although I definitely see some good deals on MFT from time to time. Whoa! I just took a look over at TRC and they just announced a 20% sale off everything in the store. Im the MAN I think I'll take another look at MFT next, but I'm definitely...

    Microfiber Towels

    That's alright, I wasn't looking to be confrontational, just informative. I've spent who-knows-how-long researching towels because all the information out there is all over the place. I'm right there with you on some of the Chinese towels being nearly as good as the Korean stuff for certain...

    Microfiber Towels

    I like MFT, but what you're comparing is Apples & Oranges: The Elite Ultra Fine being a 500 GSM 16" x 16" Chinese 70/30 blend towel, versus The Split Purple which is a Korean 345 GSM 16" x 16" 70/30 Blend. Suppliers don't just charge more for Korean because they can, the labor costs are...

    Microfiber Towels

    Build it, (Hype!) and they will come. For those who don't believe it, spend fifteen minutes on Chemical Guys youtube channel reading the comments... When someone asks you why you'd spend over $10 on a single 17" x 25" towel, it basically turns into the towel equivalent of that street race in...

    Microfiber Towels

    Agreed all around, although it's very important to note one big, fat misconception everyone seems to have about Microfiber Madness: With the exception of their "Incredi-" products, none of their stuff is actually made in Germany. They're Korean towels, and damn good ones at that, but the...

    Drying MF

    I actually have a couple of those bath towels myself, (2 beige ones & a green one) I'm pretty sure they were a little higher GSM than the Eagles but they were definitely 70/30 blend koreans. From what I understand the Avalanche is basically a smaller/edgeless version of those towels now. I...

    Microfibre tech any good?

    I'd never heard of ahtowels before, that's definitely interesting, although they seem to be pretty hodge-podge with their selection. And they're actually good quality? For prices like that I just couldn't see them being anything other than mediocre super-cheap chinese stuff or worse? Out of...

    Best drying towel?

    Just saw yesterday on their facebook that Rag Company has an edgeless 20x40 plush drying towel now. It looks like a gigantic eagle edgeless! (Which are already great towels for drying because of that 70/30 blend)

    Which is best for drying ONR? Weave Waffle ML or Plush MF?

    Could you please PM the source/towel to me too? If there's something truly equal but cheaper then I'm definitely happy to give it a shot. :xyxthumbs:
