My apologies, I presumed that these were towels that had been in use and had been washed. Yes, new towels can have lint that will be removed by washing, but also, as Visitor noted, you can just have a bad batch or worn out towels that lint, and washing doesn't help.

Re: My MF towels are linting
I had a bad batch. Washing didn't help and I was able to get a refund.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Well, I washed my new and some used Mf towels yesterday w hot water and some white distilled vinegar and then dried w very low heat. It didn’t help much. My guess is that its always been this way and I just didn’t notice because i’ve never had a black car. I usually have grey/ silver or white which are much more forgiving. Now that my polishing is complete I think I will wash the car w clean slate, dry w my leaf blower and griots garage drying towel which doesn’t seem to leave lint, and hope it does the trick. I do own some cheaper MF towels that I got in bulk probably from costco but I use these for interior and wheels. I’m afraid to use them on my black paint even though I have some brand new ones.
On a side note - I did notice that using the back side of a cobra purple towel linted much less. Still left a bit but not sure if I’m just seeing the remnants if what the other towels were leaving. If I budd w pressure I can get some of the lint off but thats going to end up causing more harm than good. For the record, I tried the following towels, some new and some used - cobra gold plush jr, cobra supreme 530, , cobra short nap green - think its called hunter utility, cobra plush purple. The one thing in common is they are all cobra. I think I’m going to start trying a different brand.

Re: My MF towels are linting
@Bill D - I’ve had these since last year at least. I don’t think autogeek will replace them at this point. This last batch of supreme towels were sent to me as part of a replacement kit for a bad order of Blackfire Pro Ceramic coating Black Edition I had purchased. I just haven’t had much detailings luck lately.
