Where is the best deal for Micro Fiber Towels? In my search I found Walmart mentioned, plus an online spot. Where is the best place ($$ wise) to get Micro fiber towels?
Do they come in white? I'd much prefer them to be white. I'll need several for the car & I plan on using a smaller one or two on my guitars.
Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll start w/ a couple from Wal-Mart. Then depending on how that goes, order online.
What section of the store are they in? I can just imagine me not finding them and the help being no help.

*I* wouldn't use the ones from Wal-Mart due to inconsistency in manufacturing and quality. They are pretty likely to scratch your finish at some point.
If you guys join www.autopia.org you can get some awesome prices from www.pakshak.com
Towels are one of the things you don't want to be cheap on. It will bite you in the butt.

I used my pakshak towels for the first time tonight. Wow. They may not be the cheapest, but if you care about the finish on your car, do yourself a favor and pick some up. Great product.

Towels are not towels!!! There are lots of different manufacturers, types of materials and processes. Inferior towels will scratch your finish and undo all that prep work you have just done.
Proper materials are a huge part of prepping and maintaining paint. Even the GOOD towels are relatively inexpensive. It amazes me at how cheap so many of you are when it comes to taking care of your car.

I got mine from Costco, a 30 or 40 pack (pretty sure it was 30) for $9. They work great and that price was a real deal.
Oh and they where yellow. I usually like to throw them away after I use them I dont feel comfortable washing them and reusing them. But thats just me.

I use MF towels that I got at Advance Auto. I keep one for the NXT, one for the quick detailer, and one for the Stoner Invisible glass. They work awesome.

I don't care how many years you have been detailing cars, some of the things you are saying are just ignorant. I guess I'll just keep falling into the marketing trap with my quality products 
Just to let you know, just because it is microfiber doesn't mean it's not cotton.
