Cobra Microfiber Towels

This is just a little warning about the stick on labels on the Cobra towels.
This is in no way Autogeeks fault. I ordered 6 of the Super Plush Towels and
upon arrival washed them before using. I forgot about the stick on labels.
The glue remained and was soft and still on the towels. I washed them
3 more times and got most of what I could see off.
So, I polished my paint to perfection. I applied 2 coats of PB's EX-P and
was putting on a coat of Nattys Blue. I put the wax on the whole truck and
waited for it to haze. I began removal with a Cobra Indigo and took all of the
wax off. I got out a Super Plush to go over with PB's Spray & Gkoss. I then
noticed i wash scratching the finish. I looked at the towel and see just a
tiny bit of the glue on the surface of the towel. This glue will micro mar the
surface for sure. Always remove these labels before washing. If you happen
to forget as I did, Make sure you get the glue out before using it or you will
do something you wish you had not. I did not think that the glue could ever
do that. I thought it was off of the material. NOT!

My last order had a couple of the indigo MF's. One of the stickers came off easily the other was a pain to remove. I had to pick at little bits of glue. AARGH!

I always remove labels as soon as I receive my order. There is one thing you can't put to any good use - that is a label on MFs.

I tear them off, pull them off, or whatever is needed. The labels are an unfortunate side effect to any towel.

No, It was my fault. I admit. Just don't use them until the glue is gone.

I was recently told by my dry cleaner that it is a federal law to put fabric content and care instructions on all garments. I wonder if that applies to items such as towels?

The reason for the labels on mattresses is that retailers used to charge you for one mattress but give a lower cost one. Without a label, you didn't know what you were getting.
