Product review: Rejex Towels

Guys:

I wanted to write a note about the towels from Eric at Rejex USA.

I havea ton of micro fiber towels (as I am sure most of your do). These are BY FAR the best I have used. The pick up of product off the car is excellent and the holding capasity is enormous. It is is obvious when a section is "full" and you need to turn to a new section.

For example. With my normal MF towels I have to use 2 sections to do the hood area of the C4S. But Eric's are extremely dense and did the whole hood and part of the roof before pushing product vs. picking it up.

Good job Eric on product selection.

Thanks for the Review Tim. The only negative thing I could say about these towels is that they do need to be trimmed from time to time from snagged loops. I believe this is because they are A. Very dense, B. A soft fiber, C. The loops are made with a thing natural fiber strand. I tested a bunch of towels both domestic and foreign and found these to have the best qualities. Very unique for a boring subject like towels. But it is important to use a quality towel when dealing with your paint surface.

Keep the feedback coming (good or bad) it is appreciated!

Those towels are very nice....very soft, I like them. My only concern with the towels are the stitched edges. If you're not careful you can leave tiny (really tiny) scratches.

Kirby that was my concern when I was trying them out. Tim also asked me about this too. The manufacturer uses a binding that is startched for sewing purposes, once you wash the towels that binding becomes very very soft. the stitching is no different then the fiber. They said they have made and distributed 10's of thousands of these towels and they have not had one complaint of a scratch.

" If you're not careful you can leave tiny (really tiny) scratches."

Is this something you experience from these towels? Or are you making a general comment about other bound microfiber towels you have used before or heard about?

I have been using these for a few months now and no scratched that I have experienced what so ever. Also the binding on the small 8" towel is different. I would use this towelfor polishing tips, wheels, interior etc. Even though that binding is very soft the rest of the towels have an even softer binding.

Eric

It was just a general comment and just from site, not actual use.

ahh that is what I figured, I have been using these on the black CS and I have not noticed any scratches. I would bet the material is much softer then anything you are using now. Just wash the towels before use. I am making inserts that will accompany the towels to speak to this concern.

From what I have read, the concern from the stitching is for cheaper towels that use a synthetic polymer stitching rather than a cotton stitching.
