yep, thats what I have also. got it from the Poundshop

great for polishing too

Can't be the same thing I'm thinking of as theres no way you could use it for polishing.

Thats pretty cheap

I could do with some cheap ones for my plastics, rubbers and engine bay stuff. Would save me using my good finishing ones at £5 - £6 a cloth.

Yeh was the right place at the right time really.

Just going to do them satin black I think, cheap and cheerful lol. But I will leave them silver for a while yet.

If not black then a very dark metallic grey.

Satin black would look good
