Poorboy's MF Towels

I know some of you sometimes ask about good detailing towels. I've tried quite a few and find that Poorboy's are really good. They're nice and plush and don't leave any lint behind. I used to use Costco MF towels, but it seems their quality is going down; my last two packs left a lot of lint behind.

In anycase I thought this was a really good deal for those of you interested. www.danase.com has them for $3.00 right now. That's a really good deal considering they normally go for $5.00 elsewhere. Here's the direct link: http://www.danase.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=22

Yeah, the Poorboy's World Towels are nice because, like many higher end towels, they don't have tags.

I have heard good things about those as well. They are just a bit more pricey than other towels.

Dude, those are drying towels again. We are talking about regular 16x16 MF towels.

I've tried both the Target and Walmart ones. They're really thin and cheap. They pretty much became rags that I use around the house.

Very true. I just bought 2 packs of a dozen 12x12 MF cloths from Sam's Club. They were $7.99 for a 12 pack. Wow are those some shitty cloths! They leave crap behind everywhere.
