<HTML>They're at: www.microfibertech.com
Right there on the home page is a "Ultra Microfiber seconds"
I picked up a 30 pack of 12x12s for $39.00. I dealt with this company last year and got brand new ones but they were more expensive. Just wondering if anyone used the seconds.</HTML>
Take care,

<HTML>Not sure..., thats why I was asking. On the cover of the Carwashing Mag he has a flyer attatched and advertises in the back and throughout.
Just thought I would ask. If nothing else..., they would be good for tires and wheels.
I am VERY picky about what I use on the finish..., towels, polishes, sealants, waxes, etc, etc.</HTML>

<HTML>Bud:
Will do. I buy microfibers like I buy gas. You can never have too many. Plus they last forever too (well at least several hundred washes.)
Noah:
You want 80% Polyester and 20% Polyamide.</HTML>
Take care,

<HTML>Has something to do with the split in fibers where with the higher percentage you have more "hook" in the weaving and more fibers per square inch. I believe it's 90,000 fibers per square inch.
What is your 70/30 ratio? Polyester and Polyamide?
Or cotton?</HTML>

<HTML>Brian,
Blend ratio has nothing to do with if the fibers are split of not.
More fibers PSI also has nothing to do with blend.
The Wal-Mart towels are 70% polyester and 30% Polymide.
70% Polyester (scrubbing and cleaning fibers) and 30% Polyamide (nylon by product - the absorbing and quick drying fibers).
Just curious what would make the 80/20 towels better?</HTML>

<HTML>You are correct about "arguing", however, in my experience, I have not noticed a substancial difference in performance between blends of the same quality.
A car with 325HP "should, on paper", go faster than a car with 300HP..., but that is not the only thing to consider..., as with ANY product, "on paper" you can make it look like a "performer", but the real test in in the detailing bay...</HTML>

<HTML>In my opinion, a ver astute comment about which is better. That was my point a few postings ago about how much time is wasted talking about the technical aspects of detailing when the KEY is the business of detailing.
There is not enough conversation among detailers about how to operate a profitable business.
Way too much time on chemicals; supplies and equipment, again in my humble opinion.

<HTML>Bud,
Again..., gotta agree!
If product A performs 100% and product B performs 98%..., I don't believe ANYONE would be able to tell the difference in performance without expensive testing equipment.
At that point..., what would "really" be the point anyhow?
I think too many times people are caught up in..., like you said, chemicals, equipment, etc, etc...,
When in fact, most of the performance is in the application technique.
(I realize this is a "blanket statement", but I am speaking of using quality products, not a $200 buffer vs. a $15 buffer at a flea market and old worn pad).
If we all used quality products, liked the performance, easy to apply, work, remove..., then the main focus should be on technique and..., as you said, the business side
