Not sure if these are the same, but I bought the 12-pack of micro fiber towels (yellow) at Sam's. Had to shake out the excess "loose lint" but worked perfect afterwards.

I bought a pack of 25 14"x!4" towels at BJs for $12.99 - they are at least as good
as the few I've gotten at Pepboys. With that price, it's hard to beat really and they
seem to work fine.

Mike, give them a wash first, also go with a waffle weave drying towel for drying.....Both types work better after a couple uses....

Care of MF

I recommend that you wash them separately from other cotton things. Just MF in washing machine. I use Dawn Liquid to clean them well. Then I add 1/4 cup of vinegar to the rinse water. This gets them squeaky clean and no lint from other things. You will be amazed at the amount of dirt that comes out of them. They hold a lot.

Dry on low heat. High heat will melt the MF's. I store them in the plastic bags they came in to keep the dust out.

What did I ever do without them? I keep a small gray one in the center console for quick touch ups and windshield clean ups.
