The Auto Finesse towels are good but no better than the Korean 1220gsm microfibre towels from Amazon at £6.25 ech with free delivery:

Been using both these and Autofinesse for years. Nothing to choose between them apart from price!

For general detailing and wax removal the Korean edgeless 600gsm microfibres are unbelievably good at £3.95 ech.

I learned all this after spending probably over £100 on a variety of both cheap and expensive microfibres that were ultimately condemned to the scrap rag pile after trying these!

I agree with ph001, I use the Korean edgeless/labelless 600gsm towels and they're great.

Slightly off topic, but still microfibre/halfrauds related!

Found Halfrauds do a pack of 10 microfibre cloths for £5, so 50p each. Probably not the best quality, but worth getting some as "sacrificial" towels (i.e. to use with fallout remover/tar etc etc?). Would this be a good buy?
