I started using microfiber towels in the workshop for bike and car. They make keeping the bikes clean with some Silca Ultimate Ceramic Waterless Bike Wash a piece of cake. Many other uses and they last quite a while before needing laundering. Also used when washing the vehicles at home.
I use one to wash the bike, another to dry the bikes and another to buff/polish the bikes after applying the Silca wax.
They are very soft and it is amazing how much water they can absorb. I can dry 2 bikes without needing to ring it out.
Good size for keeping bikes clean. Use separate towels for cleaning chain and different cleaning products so can resuse them a few times before washing.
These towels are very plush and super nice at cleaning waxed chains. I like them so much I also use them for detailing my cars.
