Since Target went cheap and stopped selling the orange microfiber towels I really liked earlier this year, I have been on a quest to find a decent towel for a good price. Found this site the other day:
http://www.microfibersinc.com/Their 16" x 16" 300gsm towel is virtually identical to the ones I used to get at Target. They are $8.83 a dozen so that's only $0.75 a towel and they come in 11 different colors. I ordered a bunch of the 16" x 16" as well as some of the 12" x 12" ones and some of the waffle weave ones just to see how I liked them. Got them in 3 days and I am quite impressed so far. Near as I can tell, these are the same towel Chemical Guys sell for $16/doz.
I only use micro fiber towels on my bike and I only use them on the bike one time. I will start a clean cloth on the tins and chrome and, as it gets dirtier, use them to clean the lower dirtier parts of the bike and get road crap off the wheels. When they are pretty dirty I wash them and use them for other household chores or, if they are greasy and black, I throw them away.
I have tried some of the Griots micro fiber towels as I love Griots stuff and they are great but I go through far too many to use them as my daily cleaners.
Thought I would share the new source and see if others might like them as well.
