    Re: Smack Towel Method (STM)



    Always remember to inspect your towels when they come out of the dryer. I like to roll mine with a lint roller to help cut down on the linting.

    Good idea!! Thanks for sharing.

    I would be concerned that some of the sticky residue may adhere to the towel. Have you noticed this at all?

    Yes, I have noticed lint rollers can leave glue residue on towels. I will roll mine from time to time, but never any glass towel.

    Yeah, I'm not inclined to get that insane with detailing.

    You have to draw a line in the sand somewhere before insanity sets in.

    I wash, dry, and inspect my towels.

    If that's not good enough, than so be it. I'm a hack. Lol

    Just my humble opinion......

    I hear ya' - the dog needs walking and I've got to get some exercise in before work. Having said that - I don't make my living from detailing cars. I just do it for fun. If I was getting paid, then I might take the extra time.

    Lol, agreed.

    In no way am I saying this thread should not be taken into consideration for anyone who wants to go that extra mile.

    But like you said, it's just me and a Ram and a Jeep. I think I do better than most.

    Hey Jim! Sure thing.

    No I haven not noticed any residue left behind on towels.

    Perhaps as mentioned below on glass towels or waffle weaves, it could leave a residue due to the towel having little to no nap material.
