steelwind101 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thats cool thanks for the tip. I have read they are good, anyone used them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpullen Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Don't rush in here and buy too many....they aren't that good, they tend to be very rough to the touch although they do the car no harm. You pay for what you get.....I bought some about 4 months ago and started washing them after use but the colour fades and they lose the microfibre feeling. I have gone back to Meguiars etc, cost more but far better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpullen Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 PS Love your dolphin grey A3, I had one in 2001, my first Audi.....a 1.8 SE with 6 disc CD changer....that was a big step up from a Ford Focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyliss Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I used the first batch they get in last year made bya companycalled 'Rochley', they were good. Recently they have changed and are now selling a cheaper version which as a few of the other guys have mentioned are not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them as daily work cloths, and they are brilliant. I don't use them for finishing though as that's when the softer ones are better. I use pakshak for finishing.

Craigieboy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I use them all the time for the interior, on the exterior I use the sonus ones I got from Autopia, but certainly can't fault the costco mf's for interior use on dash/trim etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
