I fixed the link for ya, however I would be weary of ordering low cost microfiber towels. Some people have scratched and swirled their paint from cheap microfiber towels. Caveat Emptor!

I ordered from them - Service and delivery were prompt, orders were correct.
I got 10 elite and then ordered 10 more the day i got them. They are their plushest: http://www.microfibertech.com/eliteTowel.html. They are great. They are at least as good as plush ones I bought elsewhere at a higher price. Highly recommended.
Also got the cheaper blue ones for wheels and messy stuff. Satisfied with those, too.
Also bought the middle-of-the-road "Ultra" ones. Felt they were unsatisfactory. Not as plush as the Elite, and not worth extra price for messy jobs. Skip 'em and get elite unless you are price-conscious.
As for the waffle-weave, I'm not sure. Haven't really used them yet. Bought 3 large and really don't know what to compare them to.

Damn Dude. Stop worrying over a few bucks and treat that E500 right! Better safe than sorry. You need to go all the way or not at all IMO. Otherwise you risk the ruining your paint.
Maybe you should just go the S100 route, it will be cheaper.

Any reason why you are shying away from this guy? Let me know because I'm seriously considering getting some of his towels.
Thanks Al!

About the rust, it's not the benz, thank god. It's actually my bimmer. 1997 318i, boston green metallic paint. I just detailed it this weekend with my PC. It looks amazing. I FI II'd with a meguiars cutting pad, and I aio'd with a meguiars polishing pad. I then SG'd by hand. The car looks incredible. No swirls anymore. The Finesse It is amazing. A couple of more coats of SG and then a blitz topper. I just have to get the rust fixed.
Al, I'm having a hell of a time finding a good bodsyshop here. I'm so confused
. I don't wanna trust my baby to anyone. So many bodyshops in Toronto suck royally!!! Finding a good one is like winning the lottery.Anyways, we'll see what happens. I'll have to get fixed b4 winter hits here.
Take it easy.

Hello Everybody,
This is my first post to this forum. I am here because I want to answer some questions that have been dicussed in this thread!
Many of you are correct, Microfiber Tech is new to the internet and Autoipia, but we are not new to the world of microfiber, and the need for microfiber in the world of auto detailing. My associates and I have been selling microfiber since 1997, when microfiber was relatively new to the US.
Before I go too far, and make this respone an advertisement (it is not my intention to "SPAM" this list, just inform about our products) I want to let you all know that our Elite towel (like CMA) is composed of over 200,000 fibers per inch and the Ultra towel is composed of about 90,000 fibers per inch.
I also want to let you know that I too, although I dont know from first hand experince ( not that my experience would mean anything to you experienced auto detailers!!! ), have heard great things about PakShak's, YoSteve's, NeatItem's and JT International's towels. And based on all the discussion on autopia and this site, I think someone should initiate an objective comparison of all the microfiber players in the auto detailing industry.
I think that it would be good for you all to come together and nominate an objective and qualified party to test and report on the various microfiber towels from the various vendors. We at Microfiber Tech feel that our towels will stand up strong against the competition, and that is why we are willing to send out free samples of all of our items to the objective party that will hopefully complete this test.
Tell me what you think, and I will post a thread similar to this on Autopia .

well, got them today! that's pretty speedy service 
it's good that i got different colors b/c i can't really tell the difference by feel. but the elite towels are thicker ****.
of course, the first words out of eileen's mouth was, "did you buy MORE stuff for the car???"
"well, yeah..."

i think the cheap blue towels are pretty decent. i used them to clean the glass. the more expensive elite towels are fluffier and thicker.
note that i had the expectation that these towels would wick the water like those faux chamois towels do. they don't. they're like my white cotton towels - just less mass.
i still used my big white towels for the zaino.
