friend called me a week ago, he was at Price Mart... meron daw available na MicroFiber (a set of 16 for 900) don't know if its the Microtex, but I doubt it, China ata yun. Available din yung Sheep skin washmitt, you guys might wanna check it out...

Saw that sa price mart! Nope it is not Microtex but comparing it to my Microtex, it does feel the same. Parang plush ng Microtex sya. Yellow color. I forgot the name..

Before I saw Microtex sa ACE, I was thinking of buying that but I was thinking na sobrang dami. Now I'm thinking na mejo mahal kung tingi na Microtex (I bought 2 plush for 199 each) ang bibilin ko since I realized that I would be needing alot! I might pass by Price Mart Macapagal Ave. later, will confirm if it is really as "plush" as the MT plush and it's name. Dami stock nito sa Price Mart.

Will look for wasmitt na rin!

thanks for the reply cardo and iluvdetailing. matagal rin pala kung at least 24 hours ang curing. no effect ba kung 2-3 hours lang yung curing, then add another wax application?

You should let the wax "cure" and dry before applying another coat, kundi sayang lang wax mo.

Am not familiar with this wax. You can try Mother's carnuba or Megs...

Eheheh. Lots of stock of the yellow Microfiber (pack of 16) sa PriceMart Macapagal selling for 899.00. I still neglected to take note of the name. The MF was more like the Microtex Ultra (blue, not as plush as the er plush or pink Microtex)

They were also selling a pack of (18 pieces) of terry cloth for around 450++. I was going to buy this instead of the MF set but when I felt the cloth, it was not as soft as the MF. Since I did not have enough cash, (I had to buy other stuff) I chose to retreat and buy again another day.

They did not have wash mitt only stocks. They did have a Turtle Wax Detail Kit which comprises of the following priced at 1600.00++:
1 wash mitt
1 MF
1 detailing brush
1 bottle of Turtle Wax (not sure what type)
1 bottle of Turtle Wax Car Shampoo
1 EO Wheel cleaner (Spray)
1 Spray Can of 3M glass cleaner
1 Carpet Cleaner Spray
All packaged inside a 4.56 (i think) gallon bucket with handle.

I was not able to buy a wash mitt.

patopig,
thats ok..hehe i'll try to go to megamall next week to source out the wash mitts. i also saw that detail kit sa price mart dati..namamahalan ako eh..hehe

kuya,
i've used that TW super hard shell wax before..it does it job although in the long run the paste (wax itself) hardens..so dapat gamitin ng gamitin before it hardens. i believe konti lang difference nyan from TW carnauba wax so i bought the carnauba wax instead. but if you have the budget, try mother's or megs just like what ILD said.

Eurow-Reilly yun..."Detailer's Preference" right? and it's made in China.. yellow MF's... not as plush as other quality MF's but it will do. medyo malagkit at first; grabby for QD but after a few washes its good enough.

Forgot to mention I tried the TW wax before, the green paste stuff (was a newbie in detailing back then), I tell you it was hard to remove specially when it dries, also tried the TW polisher, the white paste stuff, also a pain to remove, so I wouldn't recommend these products.
