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,

Matt

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

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
