Are these decent quality??

I suppose for that price you wouldn't mind if they fell apart after a few uses

these microfibres are fine for general cleaning and polish removel, i would suggest something more plush for wax/sealant buffing.
wash your microfibres often and dont use conditioner.

ive bought one of them as well but aint used it yet, how you finding it?

im using a wash mitt from wilkinsons (own brand) which i paid £2 for, and i find it softer than the kent wash mitt, worth a try guys

as someone else just stated about using more expensive microfibres, i agree with that as well, i use meguiars for buffing, and kents for windows, interior, etc

Costco do a big pack of 24 (i think) microfibre towels.

Keep buying them for my mates who aren't members.

Think that's the one I get too.

There's some decent deals online in the various detailing site's sale section too for other bits like wax etc.. Always good to pick up a bargain!
