 Both inexpensive and cheap Jul 24, 2010
I recently decided I was going to detail my automobile (clay bar and all). Naturally, a good microfiber cloth is part of the necessary equipment, so I decided to get some new ones and ordered the Meguiar's x2020 supreme shine microfiber (pack of 3) based on the very positive user reviews. Like any product, there are huge variations in microfiber cloths, and these particular clothes are near the bottom of the list. My main complaint is that these leave a LOT of lint on whatever they've cleaned. They are literally unusable with glass, mirrors, sunglasses, computer screens, etc. because of the amount of lint. I even noticed it when I used them to wax the car, and I expected better based on 4.5/5.0 stars (at time of purchase). The weight is relatively light (I'm guessing 220 g/m^2 based on a comparison to other known microfiber weights). That's not a complaint, but rather an observation since it wasn't obvious in the description when I bought them. I would say these are mainly suited to applying waxes / polishes and using bug and tar removal, but not for removal of traditional waxes or application of instant detailers or spray on waxes. (Don't get me wrong, they will work, but so will cut-up blue jeans, it's just a matter of performance). However, if that's all you're going to use them for, they seem overly expensive (2-3X), hence my low rating. To be fair, I figure I need to offer a better solution if I'm going to knock a product, so here goes: I would recommend using some cheaper microfiber cloths (easily attainable for less than a buck a piece) for applying traditional wax, removing bugs, etc. I'd then invest in a quality microfiber cloth or two like my favorite, the Cobra Delux Jr. 600 towel, or others like the Mothers ultra soft microfiber quick detail towel. Both are MUCH MUCH better microfiber towels in my opinion because they are more plush, absorb water/dirt better, reach into tiny spots that hold waxes better... they just make the jobs easier. It's worth the couple extra dollars (maybe more) since they last for years and years and maybe more. If you like the lower weight, the Cobra Mango Breeze are slightly more expensive, but offer lint-free performance and seem to offer slightly better construction (which honestly, probably won't matter in the end, because both will last many dozens of washings). Hope this helps, and good luck with your projects!

 Cheaper at CostCo. Jul 01, 2010
After I bought this a couple of weeks later I went to CostCo. They have a whole freaking pack of microfiber towels in the auto supply areas for a little more money, but you get ALLOT ( at least 17 ) of the towels.
 what i expected! May 23, 2010
i bought these for my car detailing. it does the job alright.
iwould prefer if the size was abit bigger though.
good product nevertheless
 Great super absorbant towel for all tasks May 21, 2010
I use these all the time. Camping, cleaning, washing the car, etc. Super absorbant and soft. A great backpacking towel that is small, lightweight and dries you off fast. Microfiber is great for cleaning anything delicate if you need to avoid scratches. I wish I had more!

Love it! Just as expected May 17, 2010
I love these cloths!! I love washing my car and drying with these cloths gives my car a nice shine. It also makes the jobs easier as they just soak up the water. Once full, I just ring them out and keep using. Will buy these again.
