Default Microfiber detergents: Mirco-restore vs. Pinnacle

Does anyone have experience using one or both of these micro-fiber detergents?

Mirco-restore microfiber detergent (32 oz)
Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator Microfiber Detergent Concentrate (16 oz)

Both are about the same price, but the Pinnacle is half the volume of the Micro-restore. From reading most description / usage directions for both products, they work out to be about the same number of "washes".

Alternatively, what do you use to clean your micro-fiber cloths and buffer pads?

Thanks.

I'm a cheap prick (although I prefer the term "parsimonious") but all I use is liquid detergent in hot water followed by an extra rinse cycle with about 8 oz of vinegar for the mf's. The pads I just got one of those pad cleaning bucket things...got it when AG had their 15%/free shipping sale; although I have not used it yet...others here raved about it, that's why I pulled the trigger on it.

micro-restore is better, I've used Pinnacle and it worked the same as micro-restore for me. Saves you money too

Thanks for all your replies...

I guess I will wait for eshine to restock the Micro-restore... I hope by that time, the clay deal is not over yet... or before members on the forum cleaned out their stock.

Hey I hate to be "that guy" who looks like he's selling you a product, but after washing all my microfibre with 4 capfuls of microrestore in a medium load, I really really found that:

a) my MF is more effective... including a waffle weave that I thought was dead after being washed in lots of regular soap and water

and

b) really cheap to use and get more of. AG has them on sale if you have a big order you want to make.

I have a gallon of the CG MF Wash and it's so far very much impressed me.
