here is my batch I washed few days ago, 3 weeks worth of towels, applicators, etc. Towels are kept in ziploc bags, 2~3 towels per bag depending on thickness.
Used a lot of ONR/QD towels, some for polish/sealant/wax removal, few WW towels for drying, and plenty of applicators for both exterior/interior.

Question microfibers??

I know I'm new to this stuff, but are you guys really this excited about some towels?? I've got some of these and they work well but I pick mine up at Costco or Wal-Mart. Is there a substantial difference in these things and if so what should I look for?:confused

From my experience, boutique towels last longer, performs better at each task, and better constructed. I guess you can say they are more reliable compared to OTC towels.
But there are very nice OTC towels, such as Viking, Mothers, Megs and Vroom.
