Default Costco Has A Micro Fiber 3 Towel 1 Mit Set

I was in Costco and seen a set of 3 MF towels and a hand mit for under $10.00 and nabbed them.

Never using MF before I was curious. WoW!
I wash the truck then the tires while some of the waters drips off.
I dried the truck with one towel and never had to wring it out! It is so thirsty.
The towels are thick and about 18 x 24".
If your Costco is like mine it's located on the last row on the right facing the beer and wine.

Nice!

Regular MF or a MF drying towel?

My waffle weave MF dries pretty damn good

LOL, this was your first time using Microfiber towels? They are one of the single greatest inventions in the world.

The beer section? Just looking!
They were drying towels. Thick!
I heard of them but never tried them till now on the cheap. Not a streak and only a single wring-out needed. With a shammy it would have been two or three wrings.

I see now why they call this the show and shine section.

OK Yooze Guyz,

I am a photographer and have known of microfiber since it's introduction mainly for it's safe use for lens cleaning. I have been using a microfiber blanket on my bed for 3 years. I keep my Serengeti sunglasses cleaned with it and so on. Heh!

But....... I have been using chamois for centuries and always considered them the best but a pain in the A to get started and needing several wring outs and always having a part of them wet enough to streak a part I just got dry.

Enter me walking by a set at Costco that are a good deal price wise and of quality. And I get a bit of razzing for wanting to turn on the masses here to a price break an am taken for a person who just discovered the material because I reported it being the first time I dried of a vehicle with one.

Tough Crowd. Love it though!

come on now! you cant take anything here to heart. everyone gives everyone a bad time, thats just how this site works. really so with Mark (RandomHero) if you let him get to you, he'll drive you in the ground and **** you off to to end.. but if you dont let him get to you, youll see that he just gives everyone a hard time,and in the end is just funny as hell.
