Many years ago I used these polishing cloths that were awesome!!
You could buy a roll or individually (probably 4-5 feet each). My dad washes his.
They worked AWESOME! I can't find them anywhere!

Now all this micro fiber stuff, it works well but is much more effort.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Very popular in the older days, I'll show my ages

I'll take a picture of one.

 

Would not be what was known as cheesecloth, would it?

 

crocus cloth?

 

Crocus cloth would NOT be used for polishing.

 

Fruit of the loom?

 

My Bet Would Be Cheese Cloth. You Can Get It From Most Cloth Shops By The Yard Or Walmart Has It Listed , And Several Places On EBay. Good Luck and thanks For Making Me Remember Using It. It Worked Like A Charm

 

Wash using a chamios, dry with
a bath towel and follow up with
a green surgical towel as you go.
NO lint or smudges.

 

And Bunser thought the crocus cloth was too abrasive.

 

Thanks everyone...
Here is what I used in the past, work great!

 

I remember something like that and won't swear there's not a partial roll of it around here now, somewhere.

100% cotton cheesecloth or diaper cloth is the best stuff. I've always heard best to stay away from any type of synthetic fabric like polyester.

I too have always thought microfiber is overrated. It does seem to work well cleaning glass, but plain old white vinegar and newspaper still does an amazing job.

 

I'll end up using the cotton cheese cloths, agree, agree...MF is way overrated.
If you have a roll of this stuff let me know, I'll buy it from you.
Thanks

 

I know exactly what you are talking about and have not seen any for years. I haven't even thought about it in years. It cam in a roll in a plastic bag and you just cut off what you needed. You could wash it and use it for years. It was a great product.

 

You know it, I don't get this GARBAGE today...
These FADS just amaze me, and they are not near a good.
And I'm not that old!!!!!
I don't drink COKE, but remember when COKE IMPROVED COKE...
Hummmm, that went well!
LOL

 

I found an old restroom cloth hand towel dispenser in an old factory. The towels were still in original roll and like new. They look like the photo you posted...work great on the brite work on the car and clean up great

 

Great... if anyone finds somewhere you can get these, let me know
