    Yeah, the yellow Costco ones are fantastic. So awesome how just using the dry towel makes the plastic clean up and shine. I use them on just about everything that can be polished.

    Not all are China.

    I wouldn't get crazy and buy the most expensive shit out on the market. At the end of the day, all of this is better than a drive through or kids fundraiser wash. I just give them money and drive off. No thanks, I'm trying to avoid the traffic in swirl city today!

    Korean being the one most praise, TRC uses mostly Korean. Except on the cheaper stuff that is more heavy use rag.

    Some of my cheapo price stuff came from Korea too. I too use them for interiors, windows etc. no need to go crazy on those

    No harm in using 100% terry cloth on the windows is there? I did for 20 years. Ha. Just wondering if times have changed on that one too.

    Well I ended up with 36 yellow MF towels ($15) and 52 cotton terry ($17) from Costco. Gonna give em a shot. They look decent. Ha I decided I'd rather have something that seems decent rather than end up with something from Amazon that sucks and deal with a return. Spent less $$ too. I'll post a pic when they're out of the wash.

    I've been using the absorber XL (Walmart $13). I don't "wipe" it dry. I just lay it flat on a section at a time. I can do about 3-4 "lays" of the towel before ringing it out. It's quick. Then I just get all the excess that's left with a $7 blue microfiber drying towel. Works like a charm.

    you can always bring back the terry towels get your money back or use them for oil changing rags. no need to buy super expensive micro fiber towels now you can use that saved money to buy some Boutique paint protection sealants.
