I ordered 5 cloths about 3 weeks ago and they arrived in just a couple of days. I have used them on everything from my car windows to my glass tables, laminated counters, appliances and even wooden furniture!
In every case it worked exactly as advertised.
Several times it left some water in which case I just wringed the cloth again and re-wiped and it was perfect.
One thing I REALLY hate doing is cleaning the light fixture in my 2 story foyer. I don't like heights. But I wiped the all glass fixture with this cloth and I was amazed how much dirt it cleaned off. So much easier than using a spray bottle and then switching to the cloth. Even with a 12 foot Little Giant ladder I am at the highest step recommended so I really want to get it done quickly. This cloth did the trick.
I highly recommend it.

Quick question on the Ultimate Towel please...
I ordered 5 of these or whatever that packet bundle offer was? I don't remember I want to say around $30/40?. No directions with it? Maybe I missed something? I did as others have suggested on this thread with little to no success?
They arrived a few weeks ago and had a chance to use it today. I know they work because others including yourself Southernman endorse it furiously
So, I wet it. Let it dry a bit, wrung it out and used it. It still left water spots for me on the inside and outside? Did I do something wrong or are you suppose to re wipe it dry it with another micro towel??
My understanding was this was the Ultimate Towel with nothing else to do other then wet it, rinse it and clean with it, wash it and reuse it?
Appreciate the response. Thanks guys.

You barely use any water. Simply mist (lightly, very lightly) the window and wipe off. I'm talking a tiny amount of water, only in spots, you just want the surface slightly damp.

I gave up washing the Vette windows. No matter what I use I get streaks. My solution.....I give the guy at the local carwash $5 and he cleans the glass.....nothing else, just clean the glass.
In reference to the inside film that occurs between washes using a dry Adams white microfiber with the black edges seems to help. However, when I wash the Vette I include going to the carwash for another reason...I cannot get to the inside bottom of front window

I've had great success on my windows using an Absorber. I wet the Absorber with plain water and run it through my hand wringer, which gets most of the water out. I wipe the window and let what little water is left on the glass evaporate. It doesn't leave any streaks. I think the secret is getting most of the water out of the Absorber.

Hmm. A customer told you about this cloth before you started selling it. That kinda strongly implies that you're NOT the only place to get these. Maybe the only place to get this particular branded version, but obviously not the only place to get "Myra Fiber" cloth window cleaners.
Thanks,
Dave

I ordered one and it was much smaller than I expected. I found it no better at cleaning the windows than anything else. The size drove me nuts. Into the trash it went!

Your loss...these work great. You clearly didn't use it correctly. We'll send you another one and if you follow the directions, I promise you'll be amazed..

Sounds like an interesting product, however I don't have any issues with getting streaks on my windows when wiping. My wife and all my employees can't wash a window without streaking to save their lives. Its all about the technique, if you are wiping correctly you won't have any streaks.

Haha, actually it's your loss because he isn't buying any more from you. I bought 3 of these recently and will finally give them a try today on my car. I'll post back with the results. My car only has 300 miles on it and the windows are already filthy.

I bought a set for myself and it worked so well I bought a pile more for my friends and family.
If they aren't working for you then you are either using too much or too little water. The magic happens when they are damp but not wet. Also, when they are brand new you have to clean them as it says in the instructions.
Once you learn the right moisture level of the cloth they work far better than anything I've ever used. We even use the big ones on the inside of the house windows.
