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

I don't want to be the harbinger of bad news, but around twelve years ago I was co-instructor on an advanced training ride with my former boss. The student was raving about these 'magic cloths' he was importing from America.

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

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

Baton Rouge; reminds me of Sons of Guns.

Pterodactyl & Aussie,

It is said that Mark Latham used to call Kevin Rudd Mr Sheen.
