I was a kid in the 80s and we used to sing a song to this tune but with different lyrics, which I won't repeat

After some pretty boring demonstrations of bike and helmet scrubbing we were each presented with a cloth to keep, which was nice.
As I sit here in 2014, these same cloths are now simply known as 'microfibres cloths' and can be bought for pence anywhere.
$22 for a pack of three seems a bit steep, in this day and age. That is unless you get a free bottle of snake oil bundled with it!
I have lots of micro rags. This rag I am talking about is not that. I'm not asking anyone to buy them I don't make anything off of them. Just trying to help out fellow members clean their bikes. We have the #1 honda dealer in the nation men, kids and women sit on them hands all over tanks etc y'all know how it is. I ask them how do you keep these bikes so shinny and always looks like fresh wax job! They handed me a rag. I keep one under my seat after a days ride where I am I can wet rag wipe down my bike in less than 5 min looks new again. No streaks your micro rags will do that with out streaking with just water great deal for penny's but the micro rags I buy for penny's don't work they streak and tend to scratch!! I'm very picky with my bikes! Got my wife a new 2012 honda accord it's never seen a water hose I just wipe it down with my damp green rag. Made in Baton Rouge that's the Deep South for ya lol. Maybe a few will try this rag if not we will move on to another helpfull idea
great forum keep up the good work everyone Michael

If I was in America I'd probably try them, just for the hell of it.

Pterodactyl & Aussie,
It is said that Mark Latham used to call Kevin Rudd Mr Sheen.
