Sorry guys, there is not a problem with the site (this time) as other orders are going through without a problem. I did check the server logs and see a few rejected orders because the zip code did not match the state. Double check (if you are even still interested in ordering as I know it can be frustrating) that the site has the right state/zip code combination.

Sorry,

Jim

Just ordered some,,I think there are a lot of problems trying to get an order through,,not that they won't go through,,it's us older guys that are not used to this online stuff. I took me 4 tries to get past the validation code. Then the check out turned Il. into Alabama?? and kept recycling (wouldn't accept the address till I figured out what was wrong) Had similar problems ordering the BBQ with Mid America for the Fun Fest. Sooo it's not the site not working,,It's us!! It would be helpful if it gave more help pointing out what WE are screwing up in the order process!! There are a lot of us out there that are not very computer savvy,, and just get frustrated and give up,,,I know I was real close to it myself,,but I'm a little stubborn and wasn't going to let it beat me!! Waiting for the cloths,,bought the 5 pack deal!!

Well I used mine yesterday and I have to say wow!!!! We used it on the wife's car and the windshield looks brand new. I am very impressed I didn't know there was a 5pack cause she wants more for the windows in the house. No streaks, smears, residue I mean nothing left behind accept crystal clear glass.

I agree isn't this America?He wasn't trying to sell anything,some of you need to get over it and let the moderator step in if something is wrong.You don't run the forum they do.....

I have bought several things because of the chat here. I must say that I did not realize that this was a site paid for by vendors. I know that now, because many times the hype was not true. It seems that many of them act like they are just another guy with a corvette and are sharing information. I've spent several thousand of my hard earned dollars because of the un-truths told here. I now go away a little wiser and little more cynical. Thanks!!!

This works better than ANYTHING I've used on windows! I've had an oil like film reappear on my windshield, probably from a dash treatment, and I have used all home window stuff, Stoner's and alcohol. I've dried with diapers, newspaper and paper towels, this product did the best with only a one pass wipe down. Thank you.

Default ok so I read it but?

Ok my only question no matter if the product works or doesn't work is this:

Water acts as a 'lubricant' which helps emulsify dirt & oil making it easier for the Ultimate Cloth's MiraFiber technology to pick up the dirt, grease & grime from your surfaces. The cloth's high absorbency will quickly clean up spills.
This is a direct quote from the website. Its very common to know that "oil and water" never and DO NOT mix. So how can water be used as a "lubricant" to emulsify dirt and oil? The statement makes no sense at all. I dunno....to each their own. If it works great! If not...oh well. Either way the marketing people should really should fix the write up, it doesn't make logical sense. Someone obviously needs to take a chemistry class cause there is no way a simple rag and some water is going to clean up various types of oil and non-oil types of spills, stains, or gunk. You wouldn't use water on an oil-based paint for cleanup and wouldn't use mineral spirits on a water based paint for clean up.

Again this is by no part any bashing of the product being sold. If it works great! Just bringing to the post some insights towards the writeup on the product.

It's all good with the other guy, he meant no harm. Some have nothing better to do then pounce on the poor guy Why just not send him a private PM to edit? Back to rags...

Sounds good though, I'll try some. PM it, I don't want to go through the ordering drama. Start me with 1 please. It would also be great if it was an extension handle, that front inside windshield is a pain in the **** to wipe down. I typically stop by a car wash place and give the kid a few bucks to do it, but yes it does get that film. Henceforth I'll bring this towel for him to use ha!
