    I'm look for a cheap alternative to terry towels for cleaning/drying my car.

    Since Terry weave ang bathroom towels, can I use them for auto detailing purposes? Assuming theyre 100% cotton.

    I wounldn't recomment using bathroom towels, because they tend to lint over time and they are not designed for automotive use. Invest in a good waffle weave microfiber, had mine since last last year, it has served me well.

    Sa Big Berts. Or sa Meguiar's. Sa Concorde meron rin sila.

    Pwede pa naman yan bro... ako ginagamit ko yan sa mga really dirty parts ng car (like underneath the door, underside of the hood, etc).

    Hi. May terry towel na ako, would you still recommend buying a microfiber? O hayaan ko munang maluma yung nabili ko?

    Bigberts bro. You mean old BR towels? Don't use that you your paint makakaswirls yan. Although you can use it in your door sidings, tires, under the hood, engine, etc. like what mazda2 said.

    Eto rin sana itatanong ko. First time kong bumili ng terry cloth sa Concorde (Php350/pack of 4), parang naghinayang ako kasi alam kong parang bathroom towel sya. Okay naman sya kasi di ganon kakapal sa bathroom towel namin at madali namang linisin.

    Waffle weave microfiber na lang sana nabili ko para tipong di ako manghihinayang.

    I also purchased terry towels from Concorde, they tend to harden after several washes which is not good for your paint. Better get a microfiber and use your terry towels on really dirty areas like your engine bay, however they tend to lint so you'll need to dust it off after wiping.

    may terry towels sa PriceSmart, P400 mararami na yun. Plus, may MF din sila roughly the same price same quantity. Eurow ang brand. better daw sya than JML.

    hmmmm makapunta nga sa Bigberts for that waffle weave MF.

    go for the MF. It won't lint and it stays nice and soft even after several washes just don't use a fabric softener.

    Vince: oo ba... Yung microfiber chamois (for drying) - P250 ea, yung makapal na pang buff (ultra plush) - 250 din, yung slightly thinner na pang buff (plush) - P200, yung ala 3M (pang interior - ULTRA) - 180... Yung pang salamin (ala Oakley case - Suede) - P200 each.

    Microtex yung brand, you'll see the launching of the product during this month's Transhow...

    Silhouette: Mas ok na to ngayon, kahit makapal cheaper than our old thinner ones...
