Exclamation Micro-Restore V.S. DP Microfiber cleaner.

I'm running low on microfiber wash, I'm almost out of Micro-Restore and have a few ounces of Pinnacle Micro-Rejuvenator left. I don't want to get Pinnacle, as I noticed Micro-Restore can do the same job and cost nearly half. I've noticed a new Microfiber cleaner that AG now has. Has anyone tried it yet? How is it compared to Micro-Restore? Scent, cleaning ability? I wanna get a gallon, and haven't decided what to get, Micro-restore or DP. And please don' recommend me Chemical Guys microfiber wash. It also costs $25 a gallon+tax (I live in California, and they located in California too)+ their enormous shipping rate (they almost charge you next day air shipping rate on your orders, while your order doesn't arrive 'till like 3 weeks later, forget it).

TIA.

I can let you know what I think of the DP in a few days...although I have nothing to compare it to; this will be the 1st time using that kind of product.

It's a laundry soap you can use for microfibers, low sudsing and non-residual. A nice alternative to a dedicated MF wash plus you can get it in gallons so it is more ecomonical. Also has an APC that is pretty good.

I am looking to a a MF wash to my stash as well...

charlies had favorable reviews from those that used it.
Micro Restore seemed to be 50/50.

I don't actually use any CG product in my stash but I'm leaning on a order of Bare Bones and MF Wash. Similar to those who have used the Charlies, the CG MF wash seemed to have positive reviews.

I love my CG MF wash and Bare Bones! The stuff smells really good too. I use it to wash my clothes sometimes

can any one tell me how the MF detergents are Fiber specific...meaning how its made to clean just MF stuff...

there are no fabic softners in to soften the towels...some say it makes the towels softer..but how....

Now I have a micro fiber soap and Laundry soap....I did some in the micro soap and some in the laundry soap..Tide Free..and the Tide cleaned more of the oil and grease out of them ..these towels are general use towels for doors wheels and engine area...both soiled good...and after drying the both felt as soft...

So curious what the MF soap has thats so special beside a nice scent....

Supercharged, Have you tried talking to Paul over the phone? Chances are he'd give you a break on the price to make up for the shipping.

no, haven't talked with him...When I think that I also have to pay sales tax, I don't want to order anything from California...
