    Bulk Microfibre Towels

    Gday All,

    Ive been on the look out for a bulk pack 50 or Higher or 300gsm or higher Microfibre towels.

    Bunnings sell a 10 pack for $8 - but no indicatoin of GSM. Might be 250 ????

    https://www.bunnings.com.au/morgan-4...-pack_p4460938

    Anyone else found anything similar (less than $1 per towel)

    Cheers,
    Mark.

    If you have a costco nearby and know a member, the Kirkland branded microfibres are awesome value for general duty stuff. Pretty much less than a $1 each and in pack of 35 from memory

    I use the costco towels for dirty parts of the car - wheels/door jambs/engine bay etc. They have been known to scratch/mar softer paint though.
    I use optimum edgeless towels, purchased from ZAS for paintwork. 40 towels for $100. Get some microfibre wash and chuck them in the washing machine and reuse.

    There are heaps of choices when it comes to microfibre wash. I use the Mint Mwash - Link below:

    You can use normal washing detergent, but just make sure it is the liquid type and the powder may not fully dissolve and get trapped in the MF towel.

    Clothes washing LIQUID is okay. Powder is a no no. Sometimes the powder doesn't properly dissolve and can get trapped in the fibres, then you go rub that into your paintwork...
