Chemical Guys MIC_506_12 Professional Grade Premium Microfiber Towels, Gold (16 Inch x 16 Inch) (Pack of 12) - Safe for Car Wash, Home Cleaning & Pet Drying Cloths

I felt like buying new towels for my new car. These are great and seem like a good value. The two sides make it more versatile. It’s very soft. They went through the wash with no issues. I felt like they were absorbing moisture straight from my hands. Now I want to get that really big towel.

I recently purchased the microfiber towels from Chemical Guys, and I couldn't be more impressed! The size of these towels is absolutely perfect—it covers more surface area, making detailing so much easier and faster. Whether you’re drying, waxing, or buffing, these towels handle it all with ease.Another thing I highly recommend is washing them first before use. It really brings out their softness and enhances their absorbency, making them even more effective at picking up dust, dirt, and water.The quality is top-notch, and they leave no streaks or scratches on my car’s finish. Definitely a must-have for anyone serious about keeping their vehicle looking spotless. I’m already planning to grab a few more packs!

Let me start off by saying that I've spent quite a bit of time online researching different microfiber towels. What you need to be aware of is that there is a huge difference in the quality of microfiber towels available online and in stores. Now, depending on the use you have for the towel should also depend on the type of towel you go with. If your like me and your looking for a towel to use on the exterior of your vehicle, then you should be looking for one that will be gentle on your clearcoat. If you think that the microfiber towels you find at your local auto parts or hardware stores are of good quality, think again! They're not! The type you will find in these stores will most likely be made in China ( not Korea) which are usually of inferior quality. The ones from South Korea on the other hand are not. They are the best you will find in terms of quality. Now, notice I said "most" microtowels from China are of inferior quality? You heard that correct. Not all are. There are a few out there (these included) that are of decent quality and will not scratch your clearcoat. Here's the thing. If your one of those people who have to have the very best. Then by all means, go with the ones from Korea. Just be prepared to spend a pretty penny for them lol. If on the other hand your looking for a more economically priced microfiber towel that is not quite the best, but is far better than most of the ones coming from China, then these are for you. You will not find a better microfiber towel from China than these I promise you that. The thing that is of importance here is that these towels have the same amount and type of materials (70% polyester/30% polyamide) as the ones from South Korea. This is most likely because the materials they're made from are coming from South Korea. Sure, they may not be quite as soft as the ones made in Korea (due to the manufacturing process being slightly different) but they're pretty darn close. I know because I also have the more exspensive ones from Korea. Indeed, these towels are manufactured in China, but it's my belief that the materials are actually from South Korea. The only difference being the way in which they are manufactured. The only other thing that sets these towels apart from the more expensive micro's manufactured in Korea, is that they aren't edgeless. That doesn't really matter imo though because the outside is lined with silk, so they won't scratch your paint either way. That, and the fact that they still have the tags on them, but you can just pull them off with a gentle tug. Having said all this. These are excellent microfiber towels for the price. If your buying these for your vehicle. I suggest using them ONLY for wiping off dried polishes & waxes. Use the waffle weave micro's for liquids (detail spray, water, etc.) and the less expensive micro's for your interior. Remember to wash your microfiber towels before you first use them and always wash them separately from your other micro's in a detergent that doesn't contain perfumes or dyes to prevent bleeding and lint buildup. I prefer using Woolite myself. And no, you don't need to use special microfiber soap! Also, NEVER wash them with regular bath towels or you'll really have a lint problem! NEVER dry them with high heat in the dryer either! Use low heat for four mins to fluff them. Then hang them up to air dry. And last but not least. NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER ON THEM!!!

First of all I have 30 different sets of towels from the 3 main brands and 22 different sets from the Rag Company alone so I pay for quality on both towels and products. These towel in both the blue and the yellow are easily in my top towels. After you wash them first out of package with proper wash then they really get soft . Also remove the tags right away which comes off easily They hold up very well with multiple washes and could last average DIY detailer multiple years . I use these for exterior of cars with glosses and shines. Never scratches paint and color maintains better than expected . Granted I keep 50 of each color I use the most so I have my cycle I go through so not washing same ones daily. I also personally only use each set of towels with same task so never cross contaminating towels with different chemicals. Again I would highly recommend these towels for you . I do wish they had in more colors as I have these in Blue, yellow and the Black Redline ones . Chemical Guys has some amazing products in general as I would have a few of their products in top choices with some other big names . I would suggest trying different products and see what works best for you and not to rely on YouTube videos where many will knock certain products because they aren’t getting them for free .

Great when new. After washed or getting leaves dirt on it, it's not as reliable. Would buy on sale to keep on hand.

These microfiber towels work well. They are a great size if you want fold your towel into quadrants to get the most out of them when cleaning.My only complaint is they leave behind a lot of lint. This isn't an issue for any surface other than your windows. If you're cleaning your dashboard or exterior paint, you won't notice any lint. However, as soon as you start cleaning your windows with these, you'll see the lint they leave behind and it will be very visible. The lint doesn't come off on its own once once things dry up, you will have to wipe over them with the a dry towel while blowing on the surface to get these to lift and land somewhere far away. The lint these towels leave behind is very stubborn.I'll keep these, but have proceeded to purchase a separate set of towels specifically for use with windows.UPDATE: After some trial and error, it seems the key to getting rid of the lint is to just get a dry microfiber towel and wipe over the area again. I purchased a separate set of microfiber towels and they do the same thing, so I'm resigned to the fact that this is probably just normal behavior for microfiber towels. Updating to 5 stars because these are otherwise very good towels.
