Hi guys,

Just wondering about cheapest place to purchase microfiber towels in bulk (10 pack or so)?

I have found lots of places on ebay, but are you guys able to tell me if they are actually microfiber?

And are they any good?

Otherwise, where could you recommend going for cheap bulk buy of microfiber towels?

Thank You :)

I'm looking at buying these! $1 each seems good, 192 sold. But I don't want to be the first person to try and unfortunately leave scratches lol

I would suggest www.waxit.com.au

They have a great product range and highly recommend their service :)

You don't want to get a poor quality towel or you will find that it may scratch and they will "fill up" too quick.

Cheers,

Supercheap auto has bulk packs , orange larger size microfiber towels think it was 20 or 30 fpr 39 bucks when they go onsale , many years now and a few more packs and they still rock

Just never put fabric softener or similar when yoi wash them or they streak like a bugger

Also handy they are a SAU Trader, and look after SAU people pretty damn well :thumbsup:

Got some from Kmart, mixed size bag of about 20 for $10, 5 had velcro tabs on them for puting them on a towel rack but the others were fine, size ranged from 200 x 200 to 400 x x400.

The kids got me a name brand one for fathers day which most likely cost more than the pack did but was no better quality, a few even looked exactley the same.

There was even one with micro fibre on one side and a plastic like super soft scourer on the other which is great for getting the brake dust and road grime of rims without scratching.

+1 for not using fabric softener, I needed to wash mine a couple of times using a heap of detergent and hot water to get them working good again after I used some fabric softener thinking it would be good..

came across this yesterday, thought this might be useful for some;

the main difference between the cheaper towels and the more expensive ones like aquatouch (made in korea rather than china) is the cloths are alot thicker - i'd say 2-3 times as thick as the ones you see for sale for around $1/cloth

the pile (little strand thingos on the cloth) is longer and thicker meaning there is lesser chance of any contaminates that are picked up during a wipe-off/on stage - they are also more absorbent than the cheaper options meaning you won't have to go through so many towels

for those looking at the premium options Waxit.com.au (SAU sponsor) do a great pack for around $150 - this includes everything you'd need including wash mitts, applicator pads, drying towels, and a large assortment of cloths for buffing;

I had a shop around and saw bunnings to be the cheapest.

Supercheapauto had a pack of 25 for $47

Bunnings had 1kg (18 x 40cmx30cm) for $9.98

I used the bunnings ones on my car and seemed to do a very good job. However took about 5 towels to polish, cut and wax.

The more expensive ones may last longer.

Another +1 for Costco towels - they seem to be very good quality for the price.

But, if you can spend a bit more, Aquatouch, Autoglym and Meguiars cloths are better. I have several of each and they have all lasted through a lot of abuse and washing...

Don't buy cheap nasty microfibre a they tend to drop the little fibres which are near impossible to pick up and will show up on dark paint and glass

bull...little bit of fabric softenre and a hot cotton wash does wonders..if its streaking you're probably putting too much in

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
