Good detailing towels...

Where to get them?

I am aiming away from ordering online but where can I get some nice 100% cotton all american ones...

Looking for a cheap ones, all sizes.


I have some know just looking for some more. Hoping for cheaper then towels from Bed Bath and beyond(I had a 20% off coupon, when I picked up my first batch)

I been thinking about maybe cloth diapers? Where woudl I get those?

Any other tips of places to look for them?

Now that Fieldcrest is out of business due to chapter 7 last year, one of the best bath towels for car use on the market is the WestPoint Stevens Martex Supima bath towel, and it is made in the USA and is what I use in my towel production business and what I use on my hot rods.

Other than that I use the pre fab all natural fiber micro fiber DF towels.....

Why not just buy real microfiber? It's safest. You can get that an many chain auto stores.

Not all micro fibers are the same, many are not made for use on auto paint, many will scratch the finish. I would not use any that came from a parts store, they are very cheap. I use micro fibers also, see my signature, but I like the www.dftowel.com which is an all natural micro fiber cotton towel vs. all of the other micro fibers which are polyester and nylon, if you are going to use a man made micro fiber get them from respected sites like properauto car or autopia, you can go to either site and they will tell you how to spot the micro fibers you should be using on your paint the the ones you should not be using.

The blue and yellow Turtle Wax microfiber towels from Autozone have never scratched any car I used them on. I agree though that you have to be careful what you buy. I bought 2 Sonus Der Wunder waffle weave microfiber drying towels from Autopia and they are awesome. They are not cotton and they don't scratch at all.
