Your opinion on Target's "Vroom" brand microfibers/chamois/drying towels?

What do you guys think? They seem good to me but I've only used them on the interior of my car. How is it on the paint?

I have only used the microfibers and they seem to work OK. I use the smaller ones (usually white and gray) for interior and windows.

The bigger orange ones I sometimes use on paint. Never really had a problem with them on my paint. Usually only use them for maybe QD or to clean up any dirty spots here and there.

With SO many quality options available online, why bother with the risk?

I have some Costco MF towels I uae for door jams, glass and interior, but they lint like mad and are not very deep plush so they don't go near the paint.

There seems to be a couple different ones Costco brings in ... they are all I use. Brand new I use them on the paint and as they get washed a few times I mark them with a sharpie and they become universal and eventually garbage.

They do lint but the only place its a bother is windows and I have other towels for that. They are lousy for drying.

a long time ago I started buying towels from these guys and for some reason never stopped... Great stuff.

http://www.pakshak.com/micro-fiber-towels.html

I probably have 15-20 of these:

And they are awesome. Really plush side for QD and soft buffing and then a short nap side for harder buffing.

I've only bought my stuff from Detailed Image. Definitely isn't the cheapest, but it is high quality.

I don't remember. Nothing terrible if I recall. I order towels so infrequently it isn't really of consequence. It's US, though so should be about normal for any place sending you towels. I don't think it cost any extra for being in Hawaii.

I've used the Target ones and they seem fine - the Orange and the short-nap ones for glass.

I've also bought some at AutoZone and those seemed fine as well.

The Target Vroom MF towels are awesome. I use the plush orange towels, and they are great.

I buy mine OTC also.

I've tried them all. MF from Costco, Pepboys, Autozone, Target, Walmart, doesn't matter. IMO they all work the same.
