cheechy Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Johnny - dont suppose you will be doing the wash mitts as well? I prefer Ranney's wash mitts to the meguairs line and find them much softer (and indeed cheaper)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apreading Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 You getting different colours? I want to be able to know which cloth was used for which product by colour coding. I see Ranney does 4 colours for the 16x16 ultra plush, I would be keen to get 1 of each and some cleaner. Are these prices inclusive of the TS discount, or are they the normal website prices? Should we wait for them to go on the website or is there some other way to purchase them? cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apreading Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Actually thinking about it would be interesting to hear a comparison of the normal ultra versus the ultra plush and ultra fine - are some better for different purposes or is it a just case of the more expensive the better?

apreading Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I see on Autopia you are doing the 5 packs at even better value! One of these in mixed colours would be purrfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyopolis Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Ok the good news.... We could do you a mixed colour 5 pack. and now the bad..... We only have one colour at the moment.... But there is a another order on a plane/boat/lorry/backpack somewhere on its way here which will have ALL of the colours Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_PC Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Cheeky git! You'll have a txt over weekend matey - seriously good prices sir. Bags a bottle of the MF cleaner too. I also need some Meguiars #38 (trim gel?) you got any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilScarrott Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Great prices, you can count on my order, can anybody confirm if the Microfiber cleaner is worth it? I just machine wash at the moment with persil, always willing to give something else a try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Here's some close up pics so you can all SEE the actual differences in pile/nap. What you choose to use each type for is ultimately up to you... there's no real right and wrong - although plusher towels usually get used for quick detailing and the shorter nap towels tend to be better for removal of polishes. 1. Ultra Plush - note, very thick and fluffy, ideal for quick detailing. I sometimes even use them for washing with QEW. 2. Ultra Fine - Very, very soft towel. Note the side that's folded up is very smooth and fluffy, ideal for final buffing of waxes or sealants. 3. Ultra - my most used towel and TBH you can get away with using these and nothing else, they're that good! A very versatile towel with one side slightly plusher than the other. I've tried all colours in this towel and for some reason I find the light blue is best, don't know why that should be. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apreading Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Think I am gonna get one of each to see. Dont tend to do so much quick detailing (although that may change as the obsession gradually continues to take over!), so maybe the ulta will do the job in the end. Mr O - as soon as they are ready to buy please, along with some of the cleaner. Oh and I was thinking about the #38 trim cleaner just today but noticed it wasnt on your site - maybe get some of that too if it is any good? using AG glass polish again last weekend seems to have left alot of marks on my window trim, and EX-P seems to do this too. Or are there better products for dealing with this? Oh, and may feel the urge to polish my exhaust tips too! Damn this habit, wants our precious we does... Detailing seems to posses you and draw you in, just like Tolkiens ring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilScarrott Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Not having the will power to resist I ordered some MF from Ranny and they arrived this morning only 4 days later, super customer service as usual. I can tell you they are worth waiting for, I can tell I won't be able to resist ordering more from C&S (especially the waffle weave). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
