Very expensive Lee.

Window cleaning warehouse sold me 20 for £72 all in.

Might not be exactly the same product but they're bloody good

If they are the same as theses, then the price is good.

I had some smaller ones from lidl, but saw Cliff from here had some large ones he got from eBay. They are great cloths.

Not a bad cloth but then Paragon Microfibre brought out the fishscale cloths which are superb.They are that good that the previous cloths i had of this ilk got dumped.

Hi Lee

Still doing the magazine.... working on finalising October issue now, we would also like to sell day to day stuff for people too... not a lot of windys are using these cloths yet but they will once they discover them :) . Getting loads of orders from the US as well as demand in UK so thought I would sort people out... one thing has lead to another lol

Hi Lee

I have no problem wanting to make money, but when someone is a "voice" of the industry by writing and producing a magazine, and they now start to sells products,  then conflicts of interest and soon crop up.

By the way, these cloths are not new, I have been using them for years.

ive been using microfibre cloths for 4 years now.i have one scrim cloth left!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


advantages?

you can use them straight out of the packet,no "breaking them in"

they dont leave cloth fibres on the windows like scrim

they last ages(hundreds of washes)

they are just better than scrim full stop IMO.

i buy em in packs of 10 extra large.

only thing is they can get wet pretty quick on a damp day.just make sure you have a load in the van.if your mainly WFP then you wont use more than a couple a day anyway.


best wishes

Lee, as an investigative 'journalist' I would like to have thought you would have tried to get your facts straight!! Please don't tell me the WCM is going to turn into the Sunday Sport already.

We've been selling our cloths at that price for years!! Might even drop them a couple of quid now  ;D

saved my Bro a fortune over the years as he would buy all his own stuff rather than use unger green equipment, even trad poles he got from clows because they were blue ;D
