Default Such thing as cheap Microfiber?

I bought a set of Microfiber towels from Wal-mart the other day. Their called Microtex and I'm just wondering if they are a good towel? Am I wasting my time and money buying these towels, or should I just order a set from Tropi-Care and not haft to worrie about it? Thanks

Get the good set for the exterior, and use the wal mart ones for door jams, engine bay, wheel wells

I would reserve them for interior cleaning, wheels, door jambs, etc.

I choose not to use the "cheap" microfiber on my paint. The quality and quality control is inconsistent.

Quality microfiber sources:

www.pakshak.com
www.dftowel.com
www.exceldetail.com
www.ultramicrofiber.com
www.autopia-carcare.com
www.microfibertech.com
www.autogeek.net
www.tropi-care.com
www.topoftheline.com

and many others.

I get my microfiber towels in a pack of 16 from Costco. They work well and I throw them away when Im done like I do with all my towels. Course some people think thats crazy, but I dont like using towels after they have been used.
