Long story short, i lost my microfiber towel. Getting ready to polish my car. Ive heard you can use a cotton t-shirt? I just need it to buff the polish. Ive also got some sham-wow towels and some soft bath towels lol

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

There is no alternative. Go buy a new towel.

And if you're polishing how the hell do you only have one towel?

[dakine_surf]

Yeah I don't get that either, don't skimp out, microfiber towels are cheap, I only use them a couple times before I toss them... not worth it to wash and dry honestly.

I buy the big packs at Costco, the towels come out to be super cheap that way... I can't remember off the top of my head but I seem to remember less than a dollar a towel... some say the costco towel isn't a good quality, but for how cheap they are, I haven't noticed any issues and I throw them out before they get old and scratch the paint.

Harbor freight is also good for MF towel, super cheap, but I don't use them on the paint, just wheels and interior

diapers

Even Walmart sells them like $10 for a pack of a dozen or so. I’m sure Colorado Springs has a Walmart somewhere lol

What the hell is going on in these forums nowadays?! As time passes, the degree of dumbass questions just sinks lower and lower...

This seems like a post you'd see on some Cash for Clunkers forums, if such a thing existed.

I’m just thankful the title of this thread makes sense and isn’t click bait.

> “omg HELP mE, iM unable to google” or “crazy situation”

I always go into “crazy situation” threads expecting an incredible story about adultery and the po-po. Never pans out - it’s always someone that’s never opened the manual and they can’t figure out why the triangle is.

If we keep headed in this direction we’ll prolly make it on a season of tv show COPS. I’m looking forward to it.

Expect more of the same as these cars get cheaper, prices are insanely low.

OP: a soft cotton shirt will do no harm, back in the day that's all there was. Make sure it's 100% cotton

It's the Millennial way, ask first, ask last, when all else fails, ask someone else. Why do the research yourself when you can just ask someone for the answer?

[hassmaschine]

pretty sure they're like $1 each in a 20 pack at Costco.

I feel like we're both right in this particular instance!

Inb4 the OP is not a millennial

But I mean you said it yourself, why lose time searching when you can do a quick post on a forum and let people help you out. It's free. I sometime go by that if my searches are inconclusive.

You lost your ONE microfiber? Lol have fun polishing your paint and then putting back in all the scratches with your t-shirt

[King Rudi]

Waiting for the post that the towel was found inside the pants leg of his jeans in the dryer.

[b92]

Your one microfiber towel? Go out and buy a fresh pack, you'll thank yourself later.

Same I got some Eagle Edgeless towels for my exterior paint. I still use generic microfiber towels for my interior or even inside paint like door sills.

For glass I use generic towels for the first and second wipe but then for the third wipe I dry buff with a microfiber madness waffle weave towel.

Nope, you aren't the only one. I have piles of The Rag Company, Chemical Guys, and some called Cookie Monster. TRC towels can be bought in 10 packs for around $35 cdn, eagle or creature, just have to keep an eye out for them.

This makes no sense on an online forum. Sure, if you're in the real world and looking for answers you may ask someone beside you who knows, but that logic doesn't work on a forum.

How is making a thread and waiting for someone to provide an answer (if even a correct one at that) quicker than searching? You're literally waiting on someone to chime in, when 99% of the time the information is already there at your fingertips.

That thought process literally doesn't make sense when using the internet.

I can count on one hand how many new threads have been posted that legitimately ask not-previously-asked questions to unique problems in like the last 12 months.
