Default Microfiber towels from BJ's wholesale $9.99

Hey I was just wondering if anyone uses the microfiber from BJ's. They sell a 25 pack for just $9.99 which seems like such a great deal that I bought a pack. After reading on here it seems like the cheap MF's are no good so I was thinking about returning it and maybe picking up a 12 pack from pakshak, but those are $48. Huge price difference so I just wanted to see some feed back from the BJ's MF's before I return and pay 5x the price for half the towels. Thanks

I think I would give them a try for that price & not worry about returning them. Costco & Sam's both sell MF's for about that price & I like their's. By the way, who is BJ's?

Damn , I didnt even know they sold MF's there. I have memberships for both as well. But I usually go for the free samples!!!!

jk, I actually like the fish and meat there. The fatty pastry section is great too.

I'm using a 25 pack from Sam's Club and they are working pretty well. For the more specialized tasks I have Cobra MF towels, but for everything else the bulk towels haven't given my any trouble

You can test you towels by rubbing them dry over a spare CD. If they leave scratches on the CD they will leave swirls on your paint.

With microfiber, you get what you pay for. I got the big azz pack from Costco but only use them now for oil changes and cleaning windows.

Classic motoring's microfibers cost 3 for $10. The difference between them is stunning. Only the dragons touch my paint.
