Must be a localized thing... The Tukwila Costco had them last week.

Costco is a very dangerous place. Too much good stuff - usually cheap!

I think they can be ordered on line http://www.costco.com/ just do a search using the item/product number 622866.

Make sure you check in the cleaning supply section of costo, rather than the automotive.

I have dozens of them floating around. Not only are they great for the car (perfect for cleaning your wheels, although you kinda have to dedicate a few grungy ones for the job, great for dusting the interior, quick wipedown with Z6 or final inspection, removing zaino, etc.) they are great around the house as well.

Interesting... I found them in the automotive section. The bag read "Detailers' somethingorother... "

They didn't have any in the general cleaning section.

GET OUT! Are you serious? Are we that "brand" loyal? I use to borrow my neighbors "Sears" a couple of times a year. For the price I figured it was going to be a "toy". NOT SO! I spent the weekend washing everything in sight. Wheel wells on my truck? Oh yeah babe. No guys the "S" will never, I repeat, never get power washed. . . . well, maybe the wheel wells.

hehe... my Costco pressurewasher is a "Karcher" I did a little shopping and loved the multiple nozzles and the cfm rating with the Honda motor.

I must admit to a certain amount of brand loyalty though!

Plus - for three hundred bucks - it really was a better value than the other options out there...

I hit up the driveway, my deck, walkway, chimney... haven't used it on the S2000 though!

"Spa Yellow", right? I have to admit the Honda engine is what caught my eye. Before buying I checked prices on the internet. We got a GREAT deal. The cheapest I found the Karcher 2400 was $339 + $45 S&H. Now let us return to the original topic of this thred. . . . . . . MF towels. Tried them this weekend. As good as any I've used. Wash before using and wash with ONLY other MF or non linting materials.

Indeed - Spa Yellow - minus the pearl. Waxed with Zymol as soon as I got it out of the box.

Oh yeah... the towels. They rock - especially for spray detailing/removing wax/polish.

I found some other mf towels that do a better job of drying. They feel kind of weird - kind of like a synthetic chamois.
