Was hoping to purchase one of the shoulder holder microfiber aprons that autogeek once sold. I googled and checked all over the net and can't seem to locate one anywhere. I realize poorboys has the baby blue one but it is not for me.

I am almost considering buying cloth and using a sewing machine if I can't find something that works well and is soft.

Is there a apron that has worked well for you?


Thank You!
 
Check your local fabric store. There is a fabric store here is Tallahasee that sells super soft materials. Same stuff in baby blankets.
 
Stopped by a fabric store today. I have a new appreciation for what a manufacture may go thru to determine which material.

I saw some soft fabrics such as suede, velour, flannel, polyester, cotton twill, some denims, and cuddly plush which probably was the softest.

Soft and durable are sometimes not connected together.
 
just an FYI... anyone who wants an apron just pay the shipping and you can have my never used Meguiars apron!
 
The CG one is just cotton with no shoulder holder. I have one and just attached a velcro loop to mine.

Hello rzatch!

I do mean "that one" the shoulder holder microfiber detailing apron by the edge. Since last night I e mailed the distributor and they state the apron is no longer available due to lack of sales. To me it seems like a great product and am disappointed it is no longer available.

It has me wondering if most people do not like using an apron when detailing? Was there something about "the shoulder holder" that was not liked? The microfiber cloth and sholder holder piece for the chord plus front pockets seem like great ideas for this usage.

Anyone else feel free to reply your thoughts on apron usage(yea, nea, features,another better apron, etc)

Thanks again!:)

Thank you for the link to Ohio Auto Supply. I did check with them and even though they still show this apron on their web site it is no longer available from their supplier. Just thought I would post this so others would know. Thanks again.

Please DON'T unless you do it professionally in a dedicated shop. And if you "MEN" still think you need an Apron, be sure to get one that you can take from cooking, to vacuuming, to washing dishes right to Auto Detailing~

Sorry to hear this! :(

I was hoping that you could purchase this item ( and maybe a few other supplies) from an Ohio establishment....We, in Ohio, need all the financial help we can get right now. :D

I didn't care for using a apron at first but it works out great. You are able to peel out of it and get into a nice car with a freshly detailed interior. It looks a lot more professional to a customer to remain neat and clean. I like the product being close in the pockets and saving steps
 
When I bought the Meg's MF kit a free apron was included, works well too.
 
I have searched a lot on google for a microfiber apron and the ones that are currently available from autogeek and other sources are a baby blue. Not what I had in mind.

I did stop by the fabric store today. It is not easy trying to find a fabric that is heavy enough to cushion from a hard or sharp edge like on a belt buckle or button. Most soft fabrics have no cushion. Some thicker fabrics are coarser in texture. There may be some possibilities in curtin fabrics due to them being a bit heavier and they can be found in fabric stores.

Since I really do not want to have to make one I ended up purchasing a cross back design denim apron on the net and will see what it is like when it arrives. Some denim is very coarse and some is soft. We'll see.

Thank you all for your replies. I'll follow up with my thoughts on denim once I receive it.

Thank You!:)
 
I don't know if this will help or not...I ALWAYS wear a sweat shirt when working on any area that I may 'lean in to' or over. By turning it inside out, it is much less likely to mar.
