I am getting ready to get some more towels for Buffing and QD. I wanted to know if anybody has additional knowledge from experience that I haven't found. I am probably choosing from the 3 below. Feel free to tell me if you have a better choice.

Supreme 530 Microfiber Towel
Adam's True-Blue Super-Plush
Griot's Garage Speed Shine Micro Fiber Cloths - Is this Korea or china?
 
530 is a good quality towel. Look at the cobra jr's also. Not to steer you away from AG, but pakshak has some great towel also.

Isn't shipping charges from Hawaii expensive?
 
Not really. He sends it via US postal in a flat rate box.

Does anybody else second those Pakshak towels?
Does anybody know where they are made?
I checked out the website and towels. The prices are great but I would assume that that would mean the quality must not be the same.?..?

There are all made in Korea or China. Pakshak towels are the bomb.
 
Pakshak microfiber and waffle weave towels are the only ones I use. They are the best towels out there. Ranney's towels are made in Korea. After doing much research on towels you want the ones from Korea and then there is only certain places in Korea you want them from.
 
Since these forums are for AG products, if were having a discussion on products AG does not sell, please stick to pms..

These towels have been talked about before without issue and Scott even says he uses them. I don't see why you need to make this post since you are a member just like the rest of us, plus Pakshak sells AG products.

I always thought the forum rules were to stick to ag products in threads. If its no longer the case, then apologies.

People talk about other products, I think we can speak about these towels for the fact that Pakshak does sell AG products. I could see if we were talking about something AG really doesn't have any contact with. I do know that C* is a dirty word-lol.

:p
 
We can discuss outside towels without issue as long as links to competitors sites are not included.

I will remind those that Cobra towels do have a great reputation, and sometimes the manufacturer is the same as those "other" versions just in different colors, weights, and designs for the specific reseller. AG specifically screens its manufacturers to try and offer the best product at the best possible price while adhering to our "no hassle return policy".

Ranney from PakShak offers some great products and is also an asset to the detailing community.

I don't get this. I started a thread about my new 530's and what lint monsters they are when I use a quick detailer. How can other people not have this? I'm starting to think that these towels can't all be made in the same place or under the same process/conditions. The other thread is here if you are interested:

I guess the question is what causes the lint. How do you wash them? For example, I did have some microfobers to lint but I was using them on glass and rubbing very hard. Other than that, I have seen very few problems.

Could their be something in your washer (maybe a top loader?) that is stressing them? I am just openly speculating since everyone seems to have a different experience so unless it is some production variation it has to be something in the handling of them (harsh chemicals, mechanical stress, high heat, etc).

Tha 530's shed for me as well and I can promise you it's not anything I've done. I'm actually surprised every time I read somebody saying they don't shed. I LOVE AG and LOVE all their other products but I just haven't had the best luck with the towels. Not that I've tried a ton of them. I will say I like the indigo polish cloths though.
