I thought of a new use for the MFtowels...

I got my truck washed at a drive-thru type deal, and they offered small towels for $1 deposit. Bring it back next time you get your car washed, and they give you a new clean dry one. Now, the car wash "dries" your car at the end, but you always have dribbles that will dry and make you car look spotted, so it's a good idea to stop for a minute and dry up all of that! Sounds good, huh? Well, their towel was horrible! It didn't soak up anything...just smeared the water all over!

I am going to keep a MFtowel in my truck now for that reason alone! How many guys would LOVE that for a gift for Father's Day??? Start talking about that at your shows NOW!! Tell them it works like a chamois and they will be sold! Plus, with a chamois, you have to totally wet it first, wring it out, and then use it. You can't do that at the car wash! Use our MFtowel instead!
 
My son uses them to keep his guitars clean, he isn't wild about the colors though!!

They should come out with some dark colors each season...even in S/S season, there should be a "dark" one that wont show stains, and that men don't feel ashamed to use!! :)
 
Aw, come on. Real men aren't afraid of pink. :p

My DH has a 1970 Plum Crazy Purple 440-6 pac Dodge Challenger (his baby), and will only use the BEST cleaning equipment on it.....his car buddies were raving about the new drying cloths that they picked up at the Auto Store for only $10 and how much better they were than a Chamois Cloth....turns out they are MF towels, smaller and thinner than ours. For Christmas I got him 2 Eggplant towels for his stocking! I ended up telling him about it, because we then bought them for all the teen nieces and nephews w/ cars!
 
I always dry my truck w/ these, I love them!!
 
Great tip as a chamois replacement. They are perfect for the glove compartment. (For spills, dusting the dashboard, etc.)It really is one of my favorite things we offer!
 
Microfiber towels are the only thing I use on my vehicles. I have a show truck which is black and people are usually amazed that I have no swirl marks showing. They are great for cleaning your windows and dash since they leave no lint.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are MFtowels and how do they work for cleaning cars?

MFtowels, or microfiber towels, are highly absorbent and soft cloths designed to trap dirt, dust, and grime without scratching surfaces. When used on cars, they can effectively clean and polish various surfaces, including glass, paint, and interiors, making them ideal for achieving a shiny finish.

Can I use MFtowels on all surfaces of my car?

Yes, MFtowels are safe to use on most surfaces of your car, including the exterior paint, windows, and interior materials like leather and upholstery. However, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's recommendations for specific surfaces to avoid any potential damage.

How do I properly clean my car using MFtowels?

To clean your car with MFtowels, start by rinsing the towel in water to remove any debris. Use one towel for washing and another for drying or polishing. For best results, use a gentle car wash solution and follow a systematic approach, starting from the top of the car and working your way down to avoid streaks.

Are MFtowels reusable, and how should I care for them?

Yes, MFtowels are reusable and can last for a long time with proper care. After use, rinse them out to remove dirt and grime, and wash them in a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the towel's effectiveness. Air drying is recommended to maintain their quality.

Where can I purchase MFtowels for this purpose?

You can purchase MFtowels from various retailers, including online stores, home goods stores, and direct sales companies like Pampered Chef. Check their official website or local representatives for specific product offerings and promotions, especially around special occasions like Father's Day.
