    Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves

    Nice write up Mike. I do sometimes have that issue with the MF staying put when I'm wiping off a wax/sealant. I typically wear the Nitrile gloves, so those help as well.

    Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves

    Mine flake/lint everywhere. I have washed them in a microfiber solution to break the "new" off them. It's so bad that its not even worth using on the interior. I have to come back through and vacuum up all the lint. So it really doesn't save me anytime.

    Anyone else have this problem?

    Are you talking about the gloves or your towels?

    Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves

    I always use these when removing sealant or wax (over a MF towel...I don't use the gloves as the removal tool). Mainly just to keep my handprints off the paint if I accidentally touch something. I did find out one thing yesterday though...it was very humid, so my hands inside the gloves were sweating a little bit. I put one of my hands on the hood while I was removing some Coll 845 with the other hand and noticed a hand print as I moved away. When it is very hot and/or humid, I think I will keep my nitrile gloves on underneath the MF gloves to block the moisture from wicking through the gloves.

    I've had a couple customers now and I like to give them a glove to put on so they can feel the paint when they come to pick up their ride.

    Mike I'm talkin about the gloves!

    I absolutely love the idea of these. If they didn't leave lint everywhere it would take 3-4 min off my time for the interior!

    It's not that big of a deal really. But just wondered if I was the only one that had this problem

    I've never seen linting with our gloves.

    If you look through enough of the write-ups I post for all the show cars we polish out here you'll also see I often have up to a dozen other guys and gals wearing them with no problems.

    This is why I replied and asked the question. I've just never seen linting with our gloves. Are you sure you got them from Autogeek.net?


    Heck I even left a few pair with Wayne Carini and crew when I was working at Wayne's shop.

    Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves

    Oh yeah, I deff got them from autogeek. Ill wash them a few times to see if it fixes the situation. I'm sure they are just "new". I haven't used all of the ones I got yet. Maybe it's just one or two of them

    Yes, try washing them and then update this thread.

    I have a lot of these in the studio and I never waste company products, I was always taught to be a good steward of your own stuff and your employer's stuff.

    So I wash our MF Gloves and re-use them all the time and we have zero linting problems.

    I have some from autogeek and no linting problems, even when they were brand new. They are awesome for polishing stainless/aluminum on boats..on fishing boats there is a lot of metal pieces and these things make polishing them a breeze!
