I emailed Rick at ADS this question, and he directed me to Customer Care. Thank you!

I have no clue, but I'm just interested why you want to know this? Does it have to do with the quality or is it something else?

Good question. I guess it's mostly out of curiosity. There's a lot of MF's out there and there's different blends. I just wanted to know what Meg's blends are in their products.

Should the blends matter? Is a 70/30 blend better than 80/20 or vice versa?

I'm not sure Meguiars would want to publicly release that information.

That would probably be kind of like Megs telling us what is in their waxes or polishes.

Maybe, but if you look at the MF market, these blends are a selling feature for some reason. Don't see why they would want to keep it a secret?

The numbers can be misleading. From what I had read, 70/30 is considered better. However, I can repeat one experience I had with Viking brand people.

Their green towel was labeled 70/30 made in korea and then I saw some green towels with a 80/20 made in china label. I questioned if the towels were "cheapened" and they said no. They said the bulk fabric was still 70/30 but the finished product (with the satin edging etc) changed the mixture. They claimed it was still the same split end technology.

Net, labels can be misleading. Be aware of interpreting something that may not be valid.

It is like over analyzing MSDS sheets at time. It is often what is not stated is as important as what is.

Korea fiber is viewed as better but that was 5 years ago. Things have changed as many have move mfg to China for lower cost although it seems a lot still make the fiber in korea and finish it in China.

Somewhere on this forum we've posted the percentage blend for our SS but I'm not sure where it's at, perhaps a search using the word,

polyamide


Regardless of the answers to your questions, the bigger pictures is this, someone here at Meguiar's, or a department of people here at Meguiar's, are in charge of products like our Supreme Shine microfiber polishing cloths and it's there job to do this kind of research so you don't have to with the idea being you can simply trust in the name on the label.

Well Mike I went looking for it and found a thread asking about the drying towel. There was no answer so I didnt bother posting it but you stated that the older style was 80, 20 but where waiting for the information on the new ones and the drying towel. So Im not sure

Doesnt really matter as long as it works

Re: Polyester to Nylon ratio in Meg's MF Products

Please do not get me wrong, it's not that I have any doubts that the Meg's MF towels are not of high quality!

It was more out of curiosity because of all the "hype" surrounding the polyamide quantity. Therefore, that is why I inquired about the blends.

Re: Polyester to Nylon ratio in Meg's MF Products

Oh okay I see, well in that case you got me curious also

now im searching trying to find out haha

Re: Polyester to Nylon ratio in Meg's MF Products

Just keep in mind....

There are many many factors that go into microfiber towels. Simply knowing the thread mix % is not going to tell you the entire story. It is only one piece of the pie.

With that said, we can't share any additional info regarding our towels since that is considered proprietary information.

The bottom line is, choose and use a towel that performs best for your individual needs.

Thanks for understanding.

Mike
