    Microtex Platinum XL Microfiber towels

    I picked these up over the weekend to just have a few extra around the garage. Price was roughly $10 for 15 towels. While working on the previous review on Mothers Waterless Wash & Wax Seen Here I thought I would use these and see how they would work. First off I like how they are 2 sided...
