Just received my Chinchilla microfiber buffing cloth from Autogeek. It has to be the softest, nicest, thirstiest buffing microfiber I have ever used. Reminds me of the Shamrocks but these do not lint. I bought the 16x24. Great for quick detailing. Try them. I know you will like them

We got some really new and great MF towel offerings now in stock. You should not need to shop anywhere else for towels. Thanks for the reviews and shopping Autogeek.

Well, my Chinchilla towels came yesterday and I opened them today. I can only say, "Oooo, soft!"

I just want to know if you plan to offer any boxer briefs in this material?




Can I use these to wipe/dust my LCD TV screen?

I am not sure Chincilla underpants would work, I suspect things might pop up at the worst of moments.

My wife confiscates a great sum of my MF towels for uses all over the home. She uses the Green Guzzlers as a dish towel. Dusting see's the grey supremes. So I suspect the Chincillas will work great with LCD screens, tablets, and computer screens.

When I get new MF towels I have always washed them in Micro Restore before using them .With the new Chincilla's on the way, I don't know is this is nessesary, it is just something I have always done. Am I wasting my time or is this the best practice?

I too normally wash all my towels first, but did not with the Chincillas.

For some reason I just can't shake the vision of several little animals all huddled together freezing their little asses off.
