Has anyone used these and if so where they any good?

Haven't used these, and to be absolutely honest I wouldn't, simple reason being that the cloth gets dirty, any grit in the cloth is therefore held on the cloth and grit scratches, so if on paintwork you will scratch it.

Same reason I don't recommend using a sponge to wash a bike down with, a good micro-fibre or sheepskin mitt is far far better as these are much less likely to hold any grit or dirt and when plunged into water the grit or dirt comes off them far easier than a sponge.

I think these wet wipes - which really is all they are - have a use for cleaning off light dirt on (say) wheels, but that aside, personally would not use them

I use them all the time absolutely brilliant and take it from someone who has used them they will not scratch your paintwork.
