I get my mf towels from Robert Regan of TowelPros. Great prices on Korean made towels and excellent customer service. Rob is also a detailer and a grade school teacher. His price break starts at ten and expands at 100.

Junkman, Corey Caruth who owns Car-Pro is a LEGEND on the forum and in the community. You may know him as CEEDOG

I've heard of Car-Pro and Corey. However, I don't want to confuse people reading this thread who haven't. Let's face it, a lot of people reading detailing threads don't participate in the field to any major extent; most are looking for quick fixes to make their rides look good. The Rag Company's website is so large that you can get lost to no end. Because of that, I talk about the only two towels that I use so that people don't get lost when they go there. If we turn this into a "which towel I use" thread, we will end up causing more confusion than helping. For that reason, I only want to concentrate on those towels in my video.

Understood. My point was microfiber madness and microfiber tech were good alternatives. Good luck

Got my towels yesterday, that was quick! They even gave me an extra purple towel I hadn't ordered! (I ordered the plush, waffle weave, dry me a river waffle weave, glass towel and black wheel towels)


Assuming it doesn't rain all weekend in Dallas, going to give them a whirl.


Also, I got free shipping after ordering $50+ worth

That was your "common sense" kicking in.

I originally opened this up and only kept watching because you sound eerily like Dave Chappelle at the start.

But now, I feel compelled to
1) order some new, non-China towels, and
2) watch the rest of your videos

Damn! You have to be the 1000th person to say that! I can't hear it but it must be true because I get it all the time!
