Use those in door jams, under hood / trunk lid, wheels, but not on body paint. After they get stained, toss them.
I have recently purchased a large package of 36 microfiber towels from Costco. They have an 80/20 polyamide count...which I have read is absolutely fine. These particular towels are extremely fluffy. They are not as fluffy as a plush polishing towel..but for removing spray shine or spiffing up your vehicle...they are great. If I am removing sealant or wax residue...then I would use a dedicated plush towel. SAMs club used to sell large packages of microfiber towels that had the same polyamide count but were no where near as plush. I used them for years and never marred my paint or put swirls in them. If for some reason they got oily or extremely dirty, I would place them in a rag bin where they wouldn't cross with my better towels.
If anyone has a reason why the bulk pack of microfiber towels from Costco are bad..please speak up. I cannot figure out why they wouldn't be considered excellent. Especially at $16 for 36 ct. Don't let the price turn you against them. They are quite plush. I wash them in Wolfgangs microfiber towel wash and add 1 cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle and they come out nice and fluffy.

Technically against forum rules to discuss products not sold on AG so this whole thread should be locked anyway. That being said those towels are fine but you'll see after a few washings and dryings the edges become really hard. Also have to cut tags off too. I use em for wheels and door jambs exclusively. Definitely can't beat the price for dirty job towels.
OOPS! New here. Guess it would have helped to read forum rules.
I can assure you..I have spent the motherload from Autogeek store in the past week and a half. Hopefully they'll let me slide on a pack of Microfiber towels. The products that I have tried here are amazing. I am sold on Wolfgang products..until the next one I try!
I have a few nice towels that I invested in.
Here are some photos of the towels that I bought. The yellow one is that bargain store brand. They are actually quite substantial...considering. The gray ones are from the Auto parts store..that I have had for a couple years. They are extremely thick and plush.
With all this said...which microfiber towels do you suggest??
I tried to upload some pics..but I guess you have to have them uploaded form a URL instead of "My Computer". I forgot my password with Photobucket...so no pics.

Can't go wrong with any of the ones Autogeek sells really. People really like the Gold Plush Jrs for all purpose. Supreme 530 is good for quick detail and spray waxes. If you do Rinseless/waterless washes, the Chinchilla and Shine and Buff towels are super plush.

@chrt396. The important question is, how's your paint look?
