0 1MEANGS Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ehhhhh honesly there pretty garbage, if you are gonna use them @ least rip off the tags they have on them! But id invest in a few nice talls bud... i stay far away from those costco talls, they have their usees just not on the paint lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 txab Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Guess you could use 'em on wheels or glass. But, I wouldn't use them on my paint Edited September 3, 2014 by txab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Michael@Adams Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Both of the above replies got it on point.. They can be pretty brutal on your paint, but they can function as your workhorse towels that you don't want to subject the nicer microfibers to. Metal, engine bay, scrubbing towels for the inside on carpets and what not. Just my 2 cents! 378 Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 The Guz Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 They are ok. But I would invest in some nicer towels. I have the previous generation costco MF towels and one day I accidentally grabbed one and I saw a scratch right on the black sail panel of my camaro happen right in front of my eyes. The costco towles I only use on glass, wheels, door jambs, underhood and other inconspicuous areas. I have some nicer towels from another company that soft. The double soft towel on here is amazing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AvsBest Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If you compare them to the autozone ones, they are great. If you compare them to a premium microfiber, they work well for my tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gen9Rolla Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Lots of people use them for dirtier work, and as far as I have seen, they work great for that. I don't use them personally as I have more than enough "dirty" towels to use, but I wouldn't hesitate to try them out if I was looking for some.

0 07stanggt Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 You have a very nice 2014 Camaro SS I'm sure, had to be big bucks, spending $16 bucks on 2 Blue Micofiber Adams towels is the way to go. Use the other towels to do your rims etc. Spending a little more and getting the best is the way to go !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ricky Bobby Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Cheap costco MF towels always have a place in my garage. Sure they aren't for wiping polish residues but great at dirty work and house work. You wouldn't want to get your good microfiber gunked up cleaning engine bays or filthy wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddies thought all towels were the same. I handed them the double-soft from Adams and it blew their mind. Michael@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GerryC Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 If you want to see a cool trick for yourself, take a cheap made in china costco towel and wipe one half of the bottom of a brand new CD. Then take a quality korean towel (like the one you will get in your Adam's kit) and wipe the other half. Hold the CD in the light and you'll see a bunch of micro scratches on the china side, while the korean side will be flawless. What the towels did to the CD they will also do to your paint. Save the bulk towels for dirty jobs and toss them when they are past the point of no return. Korean towels are not only softer and safer for your paint, but they are overall made better. You don't throw these puppies away, you wash them and they're back to new. Besides, your good plush korean towels should never have any visible dirt on them to begin with. Waffle pattern towels for waterless washing will inevitably get dirty, but like I said, they wash out easily and last a long time.
