My Z06 is a pita to keep the windshield sparkling, always seems to fog over after a short time. I'm going to try one.

Guys....just a quick update...We got really backordered on the Cloth's...We are caught up now, but some orders were about 2 weeks late. I do apologize and am certain we can keep up now.

Sorry about the delay shipping some orders out...

Thanks,

Jim Vose

We started with free shipping thinking we could send them USPS regular postage. Was way to difficult as we had about 150 of them come back for more postage as it was classified as a package because when puffed up it made the envelope to thick. Just was too much trouble and unreliable so we switched to priority mail and UPS...

Sorry,

Jim

My .02
I tried mine this weekend, it actually worked pretty well on my back window, I have a roll bar, and this rag made it easier to clean in and around the roll bar.

yes it does....do a search for Ultimate cloth on the forum, I have several other threads...Many folks are testifying that it works just as advertised.

See ya,

Thought I would give them a shot. I ordered 5. I like to keep at least one microfiber cloth in the car just to keep the dash and everything wiped down between cleaning.

Ok, here's my review. First of all let me say that I'm picky(read ****) about clear windows. I'm a motorcycle rider and I think everyone should see everything around them on the road as soon as possible so they can react as soon as possible(don't even get me started on tinted windows). Ok, now that you understand what a dick I am here goes: I'll say that these cloths were ok, but not great at cleaning the windows. They are probably still a good deal for the price.

As a comparison, I recently bought some Shamwow's(I'm sure everyone has seen the ads on tv). These cloths are very similar. They absorb large amounts of fluid well, but they do not remove everything. I found it very hard to wring them well enough to leave a perfectly clean surface.

I used to work at a picture framing shop where we had to have the glass perfectly clean when assembling frames. We used Windex or any regular glass cleaner and two sets of paper towels. One wad of towels is used for the wet/damp cleaning, and one wad is used to dry before any streaks occur.

These cloths will work just like the paper towels, use a damp one to clean, and use a dry one to dry the glass quickly without streaking.

So I guess what I'm saying is, there is no miracle cloth. These can do a good to great job depending on your method. Using one damp [wrung(is that a word?) out] cloth followed quickly by one dry cloth will produce clear glass.

Are they better than anything else out there, No. Are they as good as anything else out there, Yes. Are they a good deal for the cost, Yes. They are easier to use than paper towels and will last longer.

So there you have it. Not a glowing endorsement like most of the others, but a positive critical endorsement.
