At $1.25 per towel, it's about $1.24 more than I normally pay.
buy it with the free $5 credit and you will save 4 cents.
These are completely different quality to the rubbish ones that you will most likely receive from those 1 cent deals. These SCA are quite decent ones, but definitely not as good as ones from Costco.
But by comparison, if you were buying 200 of them to have sewn into sheets of material in order to make a cheap suit to wear to the spring races, these would be price prohibitive, might as well buy a cheap suit somewhere else instead of my genius plan for the 1c cloths. Asking for a mate!
That was a statement… where's the question??

Washable & reusableThese Chinese cross stitched bordered microfibre have no place touching paint. Keep them for those general purpose jobs
The yellow Costco towels offer better quality and value over these SCA ones
…assuming you already spent $60 on a Costco membership…
That's peanuts when compared to the savings you get because of not buying from Colesworth.
I do car detailing as a hobby and couldn't agree more. When I say car detailing, I'm not talking about your typical car wash and wax in 2-3 hours. I spend at least 15 hours on a car.
What products do you use for detailing and in what order if you don't mind me asking?
There's a plethora of information on Autogeek forum. Assuming you mean paint restoration? because there's detailing for wheels, engine bay, interior and so on. I mainly focus on paint correction because that's what most my friends and friends of friends care about. My usual process and products (differs to most professional detailers as most use snow foam and other commercial grade tools)
Wash:
1. Water down the car and try to hose off as much dirt as possible
2. two buckets, one with water and other with Autoglym pH neutral shampoo
3. Grab your microfibre wash sponge and dip into Soap bucket
4. Gently drag the sponge over the paintwork to remove dirt
5. Dip sponge into water bucket and use opposite hand to remove dirt (rinse, repeat)
6. Hose off all the soap off the car
7. Now you're ready for a proper wash. Redo no. 2
8. This time you can put pressure on the sponge. While the surface is completely wet and soapy, you can clay bar it (repeat all over car)
9. Hose off the soap and dry using a Waffle weave microfibre towel. I use this and works like a charm
10. Clean wheels (really don't wanna go into detail here but you can use a Gyeon Q2M Iron which is a de-ironiser)I'm going to keep this part simple.
Cut/polish:
1. prep car
2. I use DAS-6 Pro machine with a 5" backing plate. For cut I use 5" mint microfibre cutting pad, for polish I use a combination of Menzerna/Rupes pads and for finish I use the Menzerna soft sponge pad. Compounds, mainly use the Menzerna FG400 for cut, IP2000/IP2500 for polish and for finish I used SF4000.
3. Application is critical. Put 4 small dots (size of pinky nail) on pad and dab the pad on the paintwork within a 40cmx40cm section. Start machine at lowest RPM until you get the compound to spread throughout the section then gradually increase towards highest RPM.
4. After about a minute, should be ok to wipe off with a clean microfibre towel. (repeat 3 and 4 all over the car)
Note: Don't press the machine on paintwork, just use the dead weight. This is to avoid the pad from getting saturated with the compound which overtime causes poor results and tearing along the edges from the velcro. And don't use different compounds on the same pad.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 in the following order: Cut -> Polish -> Finish (inspect under light)
6. Wax the car. I've used Meguiar's, Swissvax, Dodo Juice and Mothers. I find Mothers step 3 finish wax to do the job just as good as the more expensive products. I use this for wax
7. Because I use carnauba (not paste), application technique is different. Use your small applicator pad to rub the wax, create friction/heat until you get some wax on your pad (DO NOT break/crush the wax).
8. Gently apply over paintwork evenly (don't need too much) and allow to dry for approx. 5 minutes until you get a white hazy layer.
9. Then it should be easy to wipe off with a CLEAN (not your polishing one) microfibre clothThat's pretty much the basics. I do also spend some time on leather cleaning, trims, glass and chrome polish (if necessary).
Hope I helped.
Please tell me how to wash a black car properly and with what products lol :(
If you haven't washed it properly before, you'll need paint correction like gezza90 mentioned otherwise a 2 bucket wash method. (I use 3 buckets. Bought a 4th one from Supercheap Auto yesterday)
Lambswool wash mitt and a decent shampoo and off you go.
If you have a pressure washer at home, buy a foam lance and foam detergent. This will be your pre-wash to get rid off grit as much as possible.List:

Drying towel already mentioned by gezza90, it's the same one I use.It wouldn't hurt to wax your car after drying to keep it protected:

I was a bit miffed because I bought something at the club discount but shortly after the purchase, I received my $5 credit. So now I've bought this with that credit. No longer annoyed :)
I got them as free.
Thank you.Ordered free, will pickup on the weekend
Was the $5 credit only for yesterday? Use it or lose it?
…ok…I see the answer now :/
The price is right.
