Re: Smack Towel Method (STM)
Good idea! Did the lint seem like washer/dryer leftover debris from prior laundry loads? Or was it loose microfiber lint?

Re: Smack Towel Method (STM)
I have done this for years now, but only after I hand pick what I can see off. It's frightening too see what can get caught in the nap of the towel.

Thanks.
I did make sure that the dryer screen was clean before starting the dry cycle. There very well could have been loose lint in the dryer that was attracted to the mf towels.
However I would say that most of the lint is from the towel linting itself. I have noticed no matter what I do, I can always pull up some lint after a drying cycle.

It is very surprising to see what is removed from the towel via the lint roller.

Re: Smack Towel Method (STM)
Not for nothing, but running a lint roller across a towel hardly qualifies as a "technique" needing to be claimed, vouched for, acronymed, or otherwise credited.
Your contribution to using the Flex with Menzerna products and hybrid pads, that's noteworthy. Time, trial and error, and thought went into it's development.
This is not one of those things.
It would be as silly as me lacing my belt into my pants before I put them on being forever known as the "A4S technique", when really it's just come about as a result of me being a lazy, lard butt and finding an easier way to do it.
Perhaps I'm not in on the inside joke and this is really just a jest and barb at the RDT method of checking your towels for debris. Seriously, what half respectable detailer wouldn't be checking them in the first place?
Anyway, everyone's entitled to their opinion, now you all have mine. Flamesuit on..

Thanks James! Try it and see what you find.... It would benefit you on your black paint.

Just as you've said, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
Thanks for sharing yours.
