Well im always looking around for cheap microfibres etc and came across these yesterday..

£20 for 50 Microfibres sweet.

Any else noticed any good bulk bargains? If so post them upski

There are usually good deals from Costco as well chap.

Edit; Nice link Richy, cheers.

Pack of 5 from our local home bargains for a quid!

What's the quality like Luke?

 

[The Boosh!]

There ace - Do the job anywho!

Even when they do go s**t (usually after 2-3 washes) i just use em as rags so its win win

 

[JD]

Yeah plastics, shuts and wheels, always a use. Cheers to both.

 

[richy22]

Yeah I thought it was a pretty good deal IMO.. thats like 40p per MF (not the cheapest but still good)

I washed a couple of mine last night... breathed some life back into them anyway! Does anyone else use all that microfibre wash stuff or just normal washing powder??

 

[JD]

Hand wash at this end, leave to soak, dry naturally. Makes them last a lot longer!

Machine de-charges them, meaning they don't cling to the dust as well.

Washing at 90deg apparently helps the fibres in the cloths.

Personally I find the eurow cloths at 10 for £20 a good enough deal. As for bargains....

FFS Rich, lol.

I had always heard the opposite chap, more so about the drier as well, never put them in a drier.

 

[theduck]

never put them in a drier and dont use fabric softener.

This is just going off what the geezer at megs said, I usually do mine by hand.

certainly are - i got 36 microfibres for 8 quid out of there. they do the job extremely well!!

 

[RichCup]

Just remember to try the CD scratch test with these cheap microfibres before using them on your car

i.e. grab a blank cd, rub the microfibre on it, if there's no scratches, jobs a goodun

 

[richy22]

I found about these on DW.. apparently Costco are also doing 36 "better" Microfibres from £15.

A couple of reviews I found about the screfix ones..

i bought some, but not used them yet, although they do pass the cd test

and

Yep : I got em, all been washed and unfortunately will only be used to dress plastics and wheels as a little earlier today after wiping down Menz Top Inspection they left scratches on freshly polished paintwork did the same thing with some quality microfibres ten minutes later when I had cleared the new found defects all was fine.

To be honest, I didnt expect much so now have a great supply of disposables for internals and wiping down mucky bits that I wouldnt want in the wash.

Conclusion, for £20 they are great value and throw aways

 

[ChemGuyUK]

just bought 10lts of Demon shine, that will make up over 50lts of polish for £10

lambswool washmit £2

just my new very local supplier, its a valeting supply's place in mansfield, if you want the address pop me a pm, there is no website and its just a lock up, its not a shop etc. but very good prices, other things i have bought

he does a polish called ( carnauba diamond ) that leaves a lovely finish and quite easy to use, he sells polishing sponges at £1,wax safe TFR 5tls £4 makes about 20lts, spray waxes £1.50, black/silver sprays £1.50 stoneguard at 1.50 and scented silicon sprays at 1.50 which are good if you dont mind using silicone aerosols. wash and wax is about £5 for 5 lite, tyre slicks around £10 which leaves a nice finish, rinse aid for around a 5er that works well, a big bag of rags for £7.50 good for buffing the car, or general use on wheels, interior, door shuts etc a really good product he does is labelled actiwash i think its about £5-6 its great on the interior and for use on wheels if u dilute it.

highly recommend him if your in the area.

I think these were posted up on DW awhile back and they pass the CD test to start with, not so sure after a few washes tho.
