microfibre cloths
it will soon be spring and time to do some polishing that (for me anyway) has taken a back seat over the winter. So I thought it would be nice ditch my old microfiber cloths that have been used and washed over and over and have seen better days, and get some new ones.
Any suggestions on where to get a nice pile of brand new ones that are the right quality and good value?

I got mine from Costco, around £15 for 36.
I can't fault them but you have to be a member. |

Just added a 12 pack @ £2.99 from BM Store along with the missus’s shopping basket this morning.
Although I wash micro fibre cloths, I keep the washed ones for workshop use and the new ones for polishing. |

Aren't they cheap, rather than inexpensive?

It's a good question by the Op and a good point above by 'Baxlin'.
I have bought 'cheap' too but find very quickly that little fibres come out after a few washes and they generally feel thin to handle. Those fibres I mention are very small land you can only see these when the sun shines on or through your finish Suffice to say that I don't think this has happened yet with the couple of more 'expensive' ones that I have been given. It is those that I tend to keep for the better finishing jobs on the car - you know those MF towels that feel lush and thick to begin with It is those better ones that you can use to remove the little fibres to but cheaper ones won't..... The cheapies also will not hold so much moisture when using a mf cloth as a chamois either. Just my 2p..... It'll be interesting to read other findings.....
