Anyone interested in a group buy on these bad boys?
By far the best microfibre I've ever used - great for doing your final buff after a good clean and detail. Come in a handy resealable pouch to keep them clean and dust-free:
I ruddy love these things, and was thinking of approaching a few suppliers and seeing what kind of discount can be had for a bulk purchase. I just need to get an idea of numbers and take it from there.
Off-the-shelf, the cheapest I've found is from Polished Bliss who do a 6-pack resulting in a cost of £8.55 per cloth; about a quid off per cloth.

i've used some just like these from cleanyourcar.co.uk and they were harder to use than the yellow ones i got from costco.
when buffing off, a lot of the polish/wax gets caught in the pile and it just ends up getting dragged all over the car, rather than buffing it off.

Probably not eight quid better, tbh.
They are lovely though - I think any detailing enthusiast should have at least one. They are too expensive for what they are at normal prices, hence why I'm trying to muster up a group buy so people can buy one or more at a more sensible price.

I've not had that problem with these - folded in half, and then in half again, and turning frequently when buffing.

I have found that with 'expensive' microfibres that i have from Dodo Juice (£8) but not with the significantly cheaper Megs (3 for £10)

I find them kitchen sponges the best, the harder white side shifts the tough/ thick bits of wax or polish residue.
