Does anyone on the group really know what the difference
Is,and what defines the quality of  micro fiber cleaning cloths?
What I mean is,ya go into say Poundstrecher in town or
Wilkinsons and they sell em`3 in a pack for a £1 right?
Then there`s for instance The Vikan Easy Shine Kit,the price
Of theirs is around 5 times that.Ettore and Unger sell theirs
At £3.50p and even £4.50 each.
Thanks for replies.

I don't realy know what the difference is but some are too small. I use these small ones on my wagtail thats adapted to pole use. For the little detailing I now have to do I use Lidl's orange floor cloths. Aquapur they are called. Havn't seen them for a while though.

Yet to buy better than Unger. But one wash & you're better off with a scrim. Still use some m/fibers in clamps, but personally still think scrim is better.

i bought the wilko 3 pack recently and i was thinking the same.....are the more expensive 1s better than the wilko 1s. 

must admit i prefer using the scrim anyway and i only use mine to wipe detail away so i dont get my scrim too wet.

I use wcw blue ones, the green unger, wilkinsons  and paragon blue microfibre, out of the 4 the paragon blue cloth gives the best finish on glass, not sure why its different was quite expensive cloth. The wcw blue and unger are similar but cheaper to buy and give a good finish.

I've got a selection including a car pack from Costco, none of them are a patch on proper window cloths, they are usually loop weave and just wont absorb water. Scrimcity were my favourites, but with wfp don't use them much.
