do you feel its worth paying twice as much for these vs zwipes or amazon basic microfiber towels for car detailing?

I have not used the amazon basic towels but I have used generic 'no brand name' towels before and gotten the same results. Meguiars is a great product for cleaning vehicles and detailing however I can't justify the price of their microfiber towel since it gave me the quality of work on the end product ... It even feels the same way. So in this regard the price of this product is overrated. In my opinion it's the same product you get anywhere else but with the meguiar brand slapped onto it.

When I purchased the towels, amazon ran a special deal that allowed free shipping with another purchase and the price then was only $4.57. The item is a good quality but I wouldn't have paid full price for them. The free shipping was the deciding factor in this case.

I like the way it removes the polish and when your done you can dust it off so there is no build up.

I actually use right now, a brand out of harbor freight. 6", cheaper with a price of 5.00 dollars a pad. I use all three, compound, polish and wax pads. They work just fine. I'm not a professional but I love my vehicles to shine and look good. They do the job.

I don't know about paper towels but Microfiber cloths are very inexpensive.

No I don't. I suggest you purchase a micro glass towel from Wolfgang auto. Works great.

Sorry Sherilyn, I spent a LOT of money and couldn't even get them to stay on my car in Fort Lauderdale traffic, let alone in a car wash. They're just the cutest things, but my experience with them was awful. Good luck.

Soap and water works just fine. All soaps will add the lubricity you're looking for. Detail spray works just fine but you're paying a lot more for something just as effective as car soap and water...

Copy and paste in to Amazon.com Search Meguiar's Supreme Shine Microfiber Cloths Meguiar's Quik Detailer Mist & WipeI personally feel it is best not use a Meguiars Clay product and different brand of spray detailer spray. Just my 2 cents. However you want to, search for "clay lubricant" in the automotive section.

I use a microfiber towel. You can buy microfiber towels at any autoparts store or here on Amazon.com. I usually put a pretty liberal amount on the towel and cover the entire car in the wax (it usually takes two or three towels to cover the whole car), until it has a dull, hazy look. Once the entire car is covered, I take my Craftsman power buffer and buff the wax, which gives it a great shine. I recommend keeping the car either in the shade or in a garage out of the sun.

Hey Heidi, Happy Holiday to you and YES one, maybe two towels will do a great job. I've reviewed the previous answers and everyone agrees these are by far a great product, and just a reminder, these can be washed and used over and over again. And remember... wax on, wax off!

These are more absorbant than hemp in my opinion. You still want to double them with another liner such as microfiber though.

Microfiber and much lighter than normal towels. Wash up well and fold down very tight! These are great towels!

Just one. I looked around and found the least expensive ones. Also look at Frogg Togg Chilly Towels. I hear they're even better.

It lasts a long time, obviously it depends on weather, etc.Definitely wash the microfiber towels every time.

There is a difference in quality in both MF cloths. the CG one has got a short nap on one side and a long one on the other. Also the CG one is softer and will not scratch the paint and hence a better one in my opinion for exterior paint. For cleaning interiors or other tough surfaces it might be a good idea to use less expensive ones but for paint these do the job well.

Sandpaper is MUCH cheaper when you cut down full sheets into 1/4s compared to the cost of sanding discs, also there is less chances of burning your woodworking projects since these only vibrate instead of spinning at a high speed. However random orbit sanders work well for many uses too, I use both for different projects

If the cost is approx $15.99, you will get seven (7) towels. Any other price point, you should read the "fine print" in the description of the towel. You may also want to check the thread count. The best ones are 130 per sq inch. They are more tightly woven and are great for embroidery.

No, they are more sophisticated. There are tiny metal clips, plus a two-sided strip that glues on (based on foam). So super nice, super tidy and super professional. I have replaced them once, so nothing is left behind or damages the car.
